Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

God I love Jason Snell so much

I think you’re just jealous that he gets all the fun toys sent to him by Apple :wink:

Not at all. I think he’s very cute(eats to look at) and he seems like a ray of sunshine. I actually haven’t watched the EP yet. Just saw the thumbnail (but I watched some of the episode enough to know Jason did it on purpose)

My biggest gripe with Apple TV is that it resets to Spatial Audio for my Beats headphones every time it restarts. Why?

Hmmm… local cannibal detected?! :stuck_out_tongue:

Andy and Jason are right about the AppleTV kinda being an entry point to the ecosystem, but the whole entering-credentials issue does need addressed. If I’m entering the ecosystem at this point, then I already likely have smartphone - probably Android (since, if I had Apple - I would already be in the ecosystem). The inconsistency of apps that require me to manually enter a password is really frustrating (although, to be fair, I haven’t had to do it lately).

I really do like the integrated aspect in the Apple AppleTV TV app (say that 5 times fast), where it aggregates movies from all supported providers into a unified front (almost like hubs in Windows Phone :slight_smile: ) and I would use the TV app more if more apps supported that feature.

Also - we have an XBOX 1 Series S, and we use an XBOX remote for watching movies - we don’t use a control. Most people, I think, would do that.

I didn’t want to make a new thread but I wanted to share this: I smashed my iPhone today so today was new iPhone day for me. Orange Pro Max

I could’ve renewed my Apple Care+ and gotten my phone repaired but it was 2 years old and I do kind of like having a new phone every 2 years

Jason Snell mentioned the iPad Air is basically what the Pro used to be and I disagree: the speakers on the Air are very not good. I had to return my device because I tried to follow that logic when my M1 iPad Pro died. I don’t find the OLED screen of my M4 iPad Pro really all that crazy compared to the micro LED of my M1 iPad Pro (rest in peace)
