A good article, but the fact this has to exist means I have thoughts. I’ve used the Apple TV since its inception (had a white MacBook sitting in another room with EyeTV hooked up DVR’ing shows from a cable box and then OTA, which then served those …

eightzero said: Query: if you bought HD movies on iTunes before they offered 4k, you get the free upgrade to the 4k version of those? Depends on the studio. Many of them agreed to upgrade to 4K through Apple, but Disney (as a huge example)…

gentooguy said: ...Wal-Mart launched Vudu almost 20 years ago to sell MP3 downloads and DVDs... Most of your statement is correct, but Walmart did not launch Vudu, nor has it been 20 years (it's been 10). Vudu was launched as a startup 16 year…

tommikele said: Same pathetic remote? Maybe drop the remote altogether (leave IR in for universal remote setups), bundle a controller (that's far-fetched, I know, but if they want to push Arcade this would make a ton of sense), and build S…

About time. I've been poking them about how families are handled for years now. To be fair, it's not just Apple—no streaming device has a good profile system (my Xbox One, at least, allows me to set up the kids' accounts, PIN-protect mine, and allow…

indiekiduk said: Sherlocked! It's a different beast. My issue with the Magic Keyboard isn't just the price (though that is too much for what you get), but the fact that, like all of Apple's folio-style cases and keyboards, they simply don'…

Anything that has my mail filtering through its servers has caused me to read up on it closely. I have options—Mail (of course), Outlook (I'm an Office 365 user), and I could POP/IMAP into a service like Gmail—but I wanted a client that would let me…

gtj333 said: Sadly, Apple is so far behind in this category. I'm not sure why Google, Amazon or others would want to work on Project Connected Home. The unstable iOS 13 update for HomeKit this fall has made me re-think HomeKit. As a long…

lkrupp said: I don’t know why so many people have multiple Apple IDs because all it does is muck things up in terms of subscriptions and purchases. It's not that uncommon. For me, it goes back to the iTools days. I have an old mac.com ID t…

Interesting—Apple's support told me my August purchase of a MacBook Air was covered (it's been less than 90 days). But the date in the article (and my own going into the TV app) confirms they were wrong and I'm only eligible for the seven-day trial.…

Still looks as though there is no US version of the Thermo. Bah. I've been happy with my Eve stuff (though I tend to prefer Lutron above all), but I really want the Thermo to be released here. We live in a house from 1927 with cast iron raditors in …

I wonder--are Windows users going to get separate apps? This is the perfect opportunity to push out a better experience on there, but I'm assuming the Marzipan code isn't going to go over to Windows easily. And where will the iOS device management o…

socalbrian said: "perhaps even Books" Doesn't macOS already have a standalone Books app? I think they're referring to the audiobook support.

Dave Kap said: Why would anybody stream Netflix from their device to their Apple TV? Why not just use the Apple TV app or the Netflix app on their TV? With AirPlay 2's licensing opening up, you could use a Samsung or LG TV as the targets. …
