> Also: if you’re doing 2160p 10bit HDR, there’s no chance those Rokus are going to play them anyway. I have some 10bit 2160p ATMOS remux movies that are huge 50GB MKV files and I stream them over my gigabit LAN to a no-name $80 Android

Yeah my PC with 6700k and GTX 1080 really struggles with x265 4K playback which is an incredibly laggy screen tearing mess. On my $50 Android box which has a hardware decoding chip for it the same video files run perfectly, butter smooth.

Apple caught onto people getting storage upgrade for a reasonable price and made it so those phones will be bricked if you update them to the latest iOS. Scumbag Apple as usual :(
