I wish they’d just make a normal remote though. They at least got rid of that “glass plate” version for one with more actual buttons but even the new one is still sometimes frustrating to use. I mean yeah it’s our daily driver and we’ve adapted to it but still. Just make a normal remote, Apple. And while I’m at it, make the remote truly genuinely support the same level of “find my device” that something like an air tag has. It needs to beep. And it needs that “hot or cold” positional thing to nail it dead on like it does an air tag. And I guess if I’m going to complain I might as well also bitch about how the YouTube app doesn’t support 4k UHD or whatever the top end video format is. The TV’s YouTube all supports it just fine. But apparently Apple and Google would rather get into a pissing match about video codec support than just work. That all being said my Sony TV’s smart tv stuff isn’t some ad-laden hellscape at all. It’s responsive and fast and gets me where I’m going. Honestly don’t even need the AppleTV. I hear these horror stories about other people’s smarttv’s here and I can’t relate at all. At least on our living room TV. The bedroom Vizio on the other hand… it’s not ad-ridden but it is way underpowered and we only interact with the appletv on it. I think your SmartTV experience will vary wildly depending on the manufacturer and brand.
