Yes, I have a new toy. I may be underwhelmed by the new iPhone 8 and iPhone X, and as a wearer of an Apple Watch Series 2 I’m not too bothered about the Apple Watch Series 3 either, but there was one thing that guaranteed my money from Apple and that was the Apple TV 4K. Well, I got one today, and after much umming and arring, and a few distractions tonight, I decided to make a video of it.
I’ll forewarn you, the video is… not great. The lighting could probably be better, I’m holding the camera so it’s not 100% stable, and honestly my talking still needs work, plus a lot of the actual filming of the TV is out of focus because the camera wouln’t focus properly on the screen. That said, it’s viewable, and hopefully it comes across more as “charming” than just downright stupidly bad. Either way, it’s up on YouTube and you can view it if you dare.
If you do watch it, let me know your thoughts. You know the places by now. Facebook (facebook.com/ajebdon) and Twitter (@AlexisEbdon).
Also, randomly found since making this video, the iPhone and the Apple TV work beautifully together for more than just syncing your settings. You can also use the iPhone as a remote, and do text entry on the iPhone for any screens which require text entry for your Apple TV. Damn Apple, your hardware may not blow me away this year but your inoperable devices and your software does as always. This is why I use Apple products. They just WORK, and they just WORK TOGETHER!
More on Apple to come this week without doubt… stay tuned for that!
