You’ve heard us talk about Apple’s anticompetitive practices—but what does that actually mean and why do we care so much? Here’s a break down and if you want to learn more head to:
if you don't have an apple tv yet, literally why
this is the most underrated apple product to ever exist
the $149 you spend on this thing transforms your TV into something youll actually want to use every day
this is peak corrupt enterprise right here. though i don't agree with apple's practices sometimes, spotify seems set on dominating the music streaming space by basically begging for special treatment from apple and google, which is arguably more anticompetitive lmfao
we need more creative marketing like this
@madebygoogle
nails their marketing every single time, its seriously cool when it has to be, and chill asf when it doesnt have to be big
@TechHighest
If it wasn’t true, Spotify would have denied it a long time ago. This article was published months ago and I have yet to hear Spotify deny these claims.
not only do they make the free tier an awful piece of shit by removing features that originally existed in the free tier just to get people to upgrade (lol lyrics), they're adding features that no one wants like podcasts and audiobooks which imo ruins the user experience

@jaff80_roblox
well obviously its made by them so why wouldn’t it work with the native iOS apps? btw Apple Music didn’t even exist in 2011 so idk what your point is
@jaff80_roblox
you also need to consider that siri barely had any APIs that any developer could work with during iOS 5 days.
siri started to really open up when Apple introduced SiriKit with iOS 10 in 2016
@HotRockCapital
Yes, it’s open-source and is maintained too. Just don’t expect constant updates though since tvOS is a platform literally nobody cares about rn
@snowwsquire
@jaff80_roblox
yeah so why tf would they complain about spotify not working with siri in 2011 when barely anything worked with siri in 2011 💀
@snowwsquire
@jaff80_roblox
they literally made an entire API for Siri for developers to take advantage of wtf do u mean
siri works with spotify and other streaming services. it’s up to them to take advantage of said APIs
siri for apple music and spotify works the same, no bonus features for apple music

this
android tv remotes are usually cheap as fuck and are so clunky to use
the swipe gestures on the remote are actually genius
@ASOfficial_80
after trying android tv on a xiaomi mi box S, i can confidently say with 100% certainty that tvOS is better
you could argue that you get a web browser with android but its clunky as hell on a tv and isnt fun to use
also: this literally does not work (tested and confirmed) which is why i got it for free
still a pretty nice iphone stand lol might stick this to my table or something
@snowwsquire
@jaff80_roblox
because the technology was not ready yet
do u really want siri to search up a song on google rather than play it 😭
even Google Now (predecessor to Google Assistant) didnt work with music streaming
@Keirannnnnnnn
bro really comparing a $429 iphone to a $1k+ samsung
ofc its gonna be the samsung lmao, ik i’m relatively biased to apple but the s24 ultra smashes the SE in all aspects except the exclusive iOS stuff

If you’re talking about hardware, we Filipinos have karaoke hard-wired into our blood so the Apple TV paired with Apple Music Sing is quite literally the best karaoke machine out there

@TechHighest
Yet they are still crying about how Apple is anticompetitive even though Spotify has the largest market share in the music streaming segment.
30% IAP cut sucks, fs. But if your service is good enough, then people are willing to inconvenience themselves to pay regardless.
If you’re holding out on Apple Music because you have an extensive library on another platform, Apple Music is testing a feature in collaboration with SongShift to transfer over your playlists on the latest Android beta.
Currently being A/B tested, but very exciting!

Apple TV HD (4th generation) — the longest officially supported Apple product. Still running the latest version of tvOS, 9 years after its initial release.

Apple TV+ and Netflix are pretty underwhelming especially as someone who only watches anime and a few movies here and there. If I do find something I want to watch I end up pirating a higher-quality encode of that somewhere anyway lol
