> Apple AirPlay is just pure trash, so I have to use chromecast.
What's trash about it? Never had any issues with it, ever.
> My Apple watch keeps bugging out and notifying me few minutes late and requires restart of both devices.
Bugging out and notifying you a few minutes late for what? I get text messages on my watch at exactly the same time as my phone.
> The device keeps connecting to open networks while my remembered home network is available.
The device will only connect to networks you've connected to before. So this is user error. It's simple, forget that network.
> The camera lens has issues with glare in the sun.
This is a problem with any phone, or any camera?
- avgDev 4y agoAirPlay doesn't connect, disconnects and cannot reconnect. This is far from working. Chromecast is MUCH MUCH more reliable. Just go look on forums. The delayed notifications are also pretty common and addressed on many forums, even on apples. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7022042 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7022042 https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/jj8wpv/slowdelayed_notifications/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/jj8wpv/slowdela... The lens glare is extremely common on iphone 12/13, and I did NOT have glare this bad on my other devices. I believe some reviewers even mentioned it. https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhone13/comments/s0n095/iphon13_camera_lens_flare_issue_did_any_observed/ https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhone13/comments/s0n095/iphon13_ca...

That's why people sometimes shoot with a polarizing filter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizing_filter_(photography) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizing_filter_(photography... I'm unaware of /any/ phone camera that has a polarizer by default. But essentially, you will get it on ANY lens. This is not something that happens only on iPhone 12/13. ------------- > AirPlay doesn't connect, disconnects and cannot reconnect. I haven't seen AirPlay on non-apple devices but between my iPhone and Apple TV it works amazingly.
- avgDev 4y agoChromecast works ON ALL my devices TVs included, again unlike AirPlay.
- philliphaydon 4y agoSure, but Android TV sucks. I mean its 2022 and it's still laggy and slow compared to Apple TV. And slowly getting more and more adverts. Even on the fastest TVs its still slow compared to AppleTV. So it could be supported on every single device in the world, it's still a turd. What I've never understood is a high end Android decide is quite fast and responsive. Yet no matter how much hardware you throw at Android TV, its slow.
- trasz 4y agoOne time I’ve seen a similar problem was due to my home router screwing up multicast.
