Apple TV definitely offers the best “streaming portal” experience. But it’s still kind of janky. For one thing, different streaming apps implement playback controls totally differently - why did Apple not impose a standard interface?? And for another thing, the remote control is just senselessly terrible.
- chuckadams 2y agoThere isn't a device out there with a single unified player UI: the behavior of Netflix, Max, and Prime are all different on every device I've owned. Apple TV is probably as consistent as it's going to get, which is not very. I wasn't a fan of the touchpad remotes, but afaik they got rid of them, the only touchpad left is the iPod-like shuttle control now.
- skydhash 2y agoApple do have a standard player, but streaming services reinvent their own.
- prawn 2y agoI have three Apple TVs and use multiple streaming services on them. Trying to enable/disable subtitles or perform some other similar basic function without accidentally scrubbing or closing the video is a gamble each time. I think my kids think I'm incompetent.
- hulitu 2y agoApple, just like Microsoft, were known for they great UI 25 years ago. Today, this is no longer the case.
