  • 2021 2nd-Generation Siri Remote Review: The star of the show

    I have been hitting the mute button several times a day since Friday. Does that make me dumb? Their focus group must have been 100% potential customers who have never owned an TV. Since they were adding buttons anyway, why not just replace the Siri button with the mute? 

    What a bad UI decision. 
    I couldn’t agree more. The mute and play/pause should be switched. 

    So is there any reason to use the original method to put the Apple TV to sleep (press and hold center D-Pad)? Is it the same results as using the new power button?
    Yes, by pressing and holding the new power button it will power off the tv and ATV

    Second night using the remote. The scrubbing with the wheel I can’t figure out the trick. It’s not seem less to me at all. The best result for me is still left to right to scrub. Also while playing with it I somehow got it in picture and picture… I really didn’t mind the old remote at all. Obvious things others pointed out I would’ve liked to see backlighting & Find Me seems like a no brainer. Especially if you have kids? I never had a problem losing the remote.

    Why they got rid of an icon for events is beyond me.

    I can imagine such a service might be used by students or in places where banking is less common.
    People already use either venmo or cash app, maybe paypal sometimes.

    A little extra tepid marketing from Apple is not going to move the needle much, unfortunately.

    Unlike many of Apple's other services, which are severely lacking in implementation, Apple Pay/Cash is of course excellent. But it's crazy how few people seem to be using it still (relative to the potential).

    So much potential to surprise and delight, squandered. Who the hell is in charge of this again.. oh, that's right..
    I have no experience with either Venmo or PayPal, so serious question: do either of those (or any other similar service) offer what Apple Pay Cash does? That being, if you and I are standing at a register that accepts NFC payments and you send me money via APC, I can immediately turn around and use that money to pay for something at that register using the APC card.
    Yes, theoretically if you were at a place that takes Apple Pay you could use it right away. 

    I only use Venmo for people that have a Samsung, everyone else at work for example we use APC.

    I wish they would update the Apple TV App to go to a grid view to see my queue. I cannot stand scrolling side to side. Much prefer the grid style on my old Apple TV

    Never understood why American cinemas don’t have an intermission. Even a short 10 minute to use the restroom.
