I just want a web browser. I almost returned the thing in a fit of confused sadness when I found out it has no browser.

  With airplay, it’s easy.

    Nah it's garbage, I want to put something on the TV on its own and I want to use my phone for other stuff, not be forced to have the same thing on both screens.

  It should be built-in. Apple has this bizarre blind-spot where they will not ever launch anything if it doesn't have 100% UX, when sometimes, actually a 98% UX is pretty damn useful. I mean, the remote has a touch pad! I'm not arguing they should have no lower limit on UX quality (lke Android), it's just, it should be slightly, slightly lower. And just to avoid any third party apps solving this problems for users, they simply refuse to allow real local browser Apple TV apps to their appstore.

    And yet, the Magic Mouse with a lightning port on the bottom exists :)

      And every time someone points it out, another one points out that it was a conscious decision meant to push you to keep your mouse unplugged. Plus, charging it for a few minutes gives you hours of battery life again.

        I can list off like 40 more bad UX decisions by Apple, that's by no means the only one, but I'd rather not start a flame war.
