I have a real soft spot for the Apple TV.
And that makes me sad.
Oh no, youre going to get all David Copperfield arent you?
Honestly, my friends and I spent hours playing YouTube videos through the big screen.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Unfortunately, things have been on a downward trend since then.
Hell, I wouldnt even say the Apple TV is even the best at that any longer.
In terms of functionality, the purpose of the Apple TV became… muddy.
It didnt really have any features that truly separated it from the market.
So what are the tvOS 13 updates then?
It makes the hardware feel more relevant again, like it can do something none of its competitors can.
But whats the problem?
Well, its the hardware itself.
The Apple TV HDwas launched in October 2015, whilethe 4K versionwas released in September 2017.
Thatsold.This means the performance of some Apple Arcade games isnt really that great.
If youre looking for a great gaming experience, you want something that can handle it.
Thats not a particularly appealing thing to say about a product, especially from Apple.
So what would you do differently?
But at least were there now.
Another thing I wouldve loved to see wouldve been Apple investing more in supporting tvOS developers.
If you browse through the app store on the equipment its… uninspiring.
Any help the company couldve given to increase this community wouldve paid dividends.
you could always dream though.
Then whats the future?
Basically, I think the time of the current Apple TV devices is over.
And for that, Im excited.
