  • How the new Apple Invites app works, and when you want to use it

    maclvr03maclvr03
    I used it for a party I had for 50 people both non iPhone and Android contacts I have. It was a mixed bag. Some iPhone users got it and accepted or declined right away and others were confused. I guess on their end even though I had the location in it at first glance it just said Downtown xCity. Weird. I don't know why they just didn't further develop out the Calendar app which I use for events all the time, for a small amount of people.  I'd love to see the Calendar app be able to send invites to just a phone number and not have their email address. I also always have to ask for what email they use with Apple so they actually get the notification pushed to their phone. I wish you could just type in a contact and either text or email it and it gives a nice pop up. Just a thought.

    After 10 days with the new Apple TV and remote I’m returning it. I prefer the old Siri remote. Don’t like this new remote at all.

    The 10 second skip is much more reliable than touching and pressing the edges of the old remote. I did like that. But otherwise I prefer the old remote. And the scrubbing is cool but it barely works anywhere other than the TV app.
    I’m glad I’m not the only one. After using this now for a few weeks I’m just not in love with the new remote. Still not used to it and prefer the older one as well. I prefer the larger trackpad on the older. And I still hate where the mute is and play/ pause, should be switched. I wonder how someone brand new would like this remote? I still have an older ATV in basement maybe if they both had the new remote I’d be more used to it? You know but it’s just aggravating.

    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.

    I set up my ATV last night. I find the new remote heavy for what it is.

    So is this the same FaceTime camera as before that I heard was a step back from previous Air’s?
