Content Philosophy
Content which benefits the community (news, rumors, and discussions) is valued over content which benefits only the individual (technical questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc.). This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities, r/Apple and r/AppleHelp. If you'd like to view their content together, click here.

The new SharePlay experience on AppleTV is …not great.
My son is in college. We like to watch Star Wars or Marvel together via the Disney app. It was fine before when the native Disney app handled things.
But now it’s not a great experience to watch together via SharePlay.
Nobody wants a window of their loved ones on top of the show. (In Apple tv I couldn’t figure out how to hide it)
Nobody wants the camera on and staring at them while they watch a show. (It’s on by default and it’s annoying to have to fuss with the remote to turn it off)
Audio is on by default and you can hear the other person’s audio through your speakers. Yes I have AirPods, but I also have a home theater audio setup that I prefer. Again, muting my outgoing audio is annoying to have to navigate to.
Bottom line: I know there are some workarounds but it was clunky, awkward, and a massive step back from our old experience.
We cancelled the SP session. Then watched on our own and just texted “3…2…1… go”
I want to like the feature. But ugh.
Anybody else have thoughts?

Why do you think Apple is keep bf the macOS icons from iOS?
The icons look so good on macOS, I love how it has depth and detail and isn’t just flat. What do you think the reason is they haven’t brought it to iOS yet?

The Airport Express router has a feature I love: the 3.5mm stereo audio jack. Why doesn't anyone seem to make this feature on routers anymore?
For many years, I have had an Airport Express connected to Audio Engine speakers. Even as I have upgraded several times to newer mesh networks, I always keep the Express connected to one of the mesh routers with an ethernet cable and the Express's own wireless capability turned off.
What am I missing about why audio ports aren't offered on routers anymore, of any brand? Is the sound quality poor for signals sent over wi-fi?
