I really wouldn't say 2 out of 3 ain't bad for HDR. There is no HLG content and we probably won't see anything for a long time. HLG is meant for broadcast content on cable TV. At the rate it took for stations to change from SD to HD, I'm sure it's going to be years before we see content providers with Live 4K channels in HLG. 

For that matter, there is hardly any 4K HDR10/Dolby Vision content. Even if every movie on iTunes was updated (which doesn't appear to be even remotely close to being the case), it will still be a fraction of the watchable content on Apple TV.

I said it before when people were needlessly whining about the lack of 4K on Apple TV...it is still way early. This is a long-term play, that won't see any real benefit for years to come. Personally, I'm happier to have a 1080p TV right now, because I know that 99% of the content I'm watching is in 1080p.

If there was any reason to, I would run out and buy a 4K TV today and get ready for the 4K Apple TV experience. But there is no reason to. Movies from iTunes is 1 app on Apple TV....1 out of 7 or 8 that get routine use in my house.

I'll check back in 2-3 years when other services have caught up and 99% of content is in 4K and HDR/Dolby Vision.

It's the new iconic look. It is visually jarring right now because it's new, and we're staring at it. Once you get the phone and start using it, it will all but disappear as part of regular usage.

Edit: I also love dramatic change like this, the kinds of things some people just can't handle.

Haven't we been hearing how soon Disney's own (DOA) streaming service is going to be the only way to watch Disney content? Obviously this is yet another poor decision in their utterly doomed attempt to not share revenue with anyone.

AThe current Apple TV remote uses a touch surface similar to that on MacBooks, but doesn't vibrate in response to taps or onscreen events.

Well, no. It uses a traditional physical actuator for a physical click like old MacBook trackpads. If the new remote has haptic feedback, then likely it will be a solid state trackpad like the current MacBooks.

The attempted stock manipulation that has been running overtime since last week is unreal.
