  • Easter Sunday surprise: Closed Apple Store's doors were unlocked

    I can imagine how differently this could have played out in some other locations.

  • Inside Apple TV 4K -- the best addition to your TV set

    hmlongco said:
    Love the Apple TV but... ever since Movies and TV moved to the Apple TV app I've had consistent issues with my purchased Movie tiles updating. Just row after row of blank gray tiles that either don't update at all or, if they do, update one after another every 2-3 seconds or so.

    The problem probably lies with rewriting the app in SwiftUI and more to the point, the fact that I now have over 800 movies I've purchased over the past couple of decades.

    I am--unfortunately--a big fan of picking up movies that were listed as $3-$5 on the Friday sales, discounted bundles, and so on, and I suspect that they simply don't run tests on accounts that large.


    I have about 525 movies and I'll see the blank icons when it refreshes them but most of the time I see them with their normal icons. I would bet Apple has tested it with libraries in the thousands (there are plenty of people out there with them, trust me) and what you see is most likely not due to a large library.

  • Inside Apple TV 4K -- the best addition to your TV set

    The one piece of hardware I recommend improvement on is to add a speaker to the remote. Even with the remote finder method using an iPhone it can be tough to find the very petite remote. A speaker beeping would make it much easier to discover.

    If the author has complaints about a buggy YouTube app -- he should try the YouTube TV app. Oy.

  • Apple Watch Series 11: What's expected to arrive this fall

    Is there a way to obtain a reasonably accurate blood pressure measurement without some sort of cuff?

  • Moment SuperCage review: The ultimate iPhone filmmaking accessory

    I wasn't expecting to see a robust hub integrated into the bottom of this; a power source/battery perhaps. Is a Picatinny rail or M-LOK mount available for it?
