Believe me — Apple fanboys are a real reason to switch platforms…

I agree with the UK group. Apple’s pricing versus its offer for storage is obscene and clearly a way to gouge customers month after month.

To say you don’t *have* to use iCloud is disingenuous. The truth is that you have to work to avoid using iCloud. And even when you set it up to avoid it, OSes revert to the default saving to iCloud after each major upgrade.

It’s one of the reasons why I dislike the current Apple.

Disappointed Apple TV 4K is still limited to 48 kHz audio from both hi-res Apple Music  and streaming directly from a Mac. Imagine if your photo streaming was limited to 720 ppi. 

Yeah, the situation is inexplicable. The AppleTV could be a great streamer and all-in-one media centre. The hardware limitations on a premium product make no sense and continue to disappoint.

Cough. Nyquist-Shannon. Human hearing range. #science

Cough — very tired and unproductive discussion. Daily Audiophile is a better place to go nowhere on that topic.

I guess I am an outlier but I love my ATV 4K.  One small remote to replace all others and the knowledge that perhaps I am not being as extensively data-mined.  Plus love the screensavers when the TV is on idle.

My only issue are the designs of the individual apps (Netflix (buggy), Prime (ugly and clunky) whereas Hulu, Max and the AppleTV app itself are just fine.

I love my Apple TV as well. I have a minimalist AV setup, and the Apple TV is an integral part. There’s nothing else I’d use for what it does.

But it certainly isn’t perfect. The hardware and software choices Apple makes (or doesn’t make) I think make the product less stellar than it could be.
