Awwww, come on!

It's got to be about the Apple Car with air ride suspension! 

I love the lead graphic!

 though it is unclear how the relationship between the companies fares years later.

I don’t get it. So we’re unsure if Apple and Nuance currently have any kind of ongoing developmental relationship?

Watching it with my Dolby Atmos sound system was great experience. I understand that some might have issues. Watching it on TV with the built-in stereo speakers only trying to keep up with all those sounds. But that is general issue for any movie with ‘better’ sound - be it DVD, BluRay with Dolby 5.1 and higher…

Yeh, my home theater system predates Atmos -- but it's still pretty good.  And, it adds enormously to films like Greyhound where the sound is an integral part of the picture.   With a high end system you don't just hear the explosion, you feel the explosion.  Lord of the RIngs is another where the sound really contributes to the movie -- deep, full throated sound that you can feel in your chest.

...  It's one of the things missing from even stereo HomePods -- they have great sound but they can't push enough air for you to feel the sound.

Frankly, I've become used to great sound -- so the sound in Greyhound seemed about normal to me -- until an earlier ai article pointed it out.  Then I realized how much the sound contributed to the film. And, how much the film would have suffered without it.

I can only offer my pity to those watching these films using TV speakers.   it's half of the fun.

And, it's a bit of shame this movie did not open in theaters -- not because of the big screen but because of their superior sound systems.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to purchase instead of a Harmony remote?

I've never found a dedicated device that could do things to my liking and always thought, that with the correct tweaks, this is something that Apple could integrate into its product line to great effect. And not only via software, including the radios for motorised blinds for example. 

Voice and gesture control is nice but there are times when a touchscreen remote is the perfect tool. 

I agree. There’s still a need for a programmable remote to make it simple to change inputs on my AVR. Obviously, this isn’t necessary for everyone, but for my setup, it’s essential. Otherwise, I need Sony TV, Denon AVR, Apple TV, Blu-Ray and Optoma Projector and drop-down screen remotes. A just try instructing my family on how to set the inputs on each device to make it all work. Now, with my Logitech remote, it only takes one button to set everything.  This kind of thing is still needed. I hope someone else provides this.
