    Have they looked at the physical appearance of most of their drivers? A bit different than the cute, long haired woman showing her bare ankles in the photo...umm, no thanks!

  • Review: Apple TV 4K is an impressive extension of the iTunes ecosystem to the living room

    thrangthrang
    There's a lot to like about the new ATV4k, but the lack of native (or source direct) is not insignificant. Not so much from a resolution upscaling perspective, but from a colorspace/dynamic range perspective. Right now, the ATV is not correctly passing the source color space/dynamic range unless you manually match the output resolution every time you change what kind of material you are watching. Otherwise, it performance fake/incorrect conversions which are simply not accurate.

    There are also significant issues with the HDR-10 base layer of Dolby Vision titles - they are not all correct, resulting in over saturated colors or severely clipped highlights. Since Dolby Vision systems are in the significant minority, while HDR-10 display are much more common, the ability for the ecosystem to deliver the correct HDR-10 base layer  from Dolby Vision title is quite important. It's not clear if the issue is with the ATV, the iTunes store, or the encodes supplied by the studios...but the bottom line is it's the experience being delivered under the Apple banner.

    Are there 4k movies and TV in iTunes?
    LOL...why would there be if they can't support it? The point is, there could be if they did have the hardware.

  • Apple pushes AirPods firmware 3.5.1 to synchronized iPhones with minor bug fixes

    LTE needs to be on...I had turned it off to workaround the audio drop issue. When I turned LTE back on, the AirPods appeared in the About window.

    Thats really odd when you think about it..

    My AirPods play a 'blip' (micro interruption in sound) somewhat randomly but every 1 or 2 minutes.  Has anyone here experienced that?

    Yes, there is a thread on Apple's support forums regarding AirPods dropouts. It seems partly connected to having a Watch - Apple asked me to turn my Series 2 off and test. I had fewer dropouts but still have them. Engineering is very focused on this issue, and I can't help but think this is related to the shipping delays.
