    I'm wondering how the A10x chip compares to consoles. I can't find any comparisons online. I guess people haven't taken Apple TV seriously as a gaming device yet. Seems like Apple is inching closer though.

    Astonished that they made NO changes to the remote. No way to know it's charging or is charged. No way to instantly tell the top from the bottom. And no way to "page" it, maybe with your phone, or via Siri to say "Here I am," because it's so tiny it can so easily vanish in bed covers. Just the most basic stuff. Frustrating.
    Agree. I've been dreaming of a remote that utilizes Apple's amazing tech IP.

    Taptic Engine for realistic feedback, 3D Touch surface, M-chip for workout apps and motion gaming, Find my Remote feature etc. etc. etc.

    I'm thinking that since there are no apparent changes to the remote Apple knows that it is popular with the majority of users and could care less what the critics say. If the remote is a deal killer for you then so be it.
    Not a "deal killer." I've had two of them. My extended family combined has five of them. That makes seven actual, daily users of it. ALL of us have had the same gripe over it. The identical gripe is reaffirmed by Apple Store employees who say countless users have also grumbled over it. We love the product. But even constant use doesn't blunt the design flaw of the remote. The AppleTV is "popular with the majority of users." Obviously, that's in spite of the remote's design deficiencies, and that is the actual interface people interact with. And Cook whizzed right past the presentation without even so much as a look or mention of the remote at all (aside from the Emmy for the Siri aspect).
    Thay problem is solved by a couple bucks. Buy a protective case. It adds a little bulk and completely eliminates the orientation issue plus you'll get the added benefit of actual PROTECTION.

    Ha I suggested they update our movies for free and no one (including myself) thought they would.

    Bravo Apple!!
    I’ll be the first to admit to you. I was one that said no chance in heck they do that. I stand corrected and flabbergasted. 

    Heck I remember the whole forum jumping at me for even suggesting it but admittedly I was doubtful myself. Logically.

    Google must be a real sucker for hard luck cases.
