That's not on Apple TV. It's on (HBO) Max.

Why are so many people in this thread attributing shows to Apple TV that were never on Apple TV?

Apple TV+ does not have enough shows to justify $10/month.

No, they did not. It's Amazon Prime.

All of those can be watched in a month, though. It's not enough to sustain an entire subscription. Also, foundation kind of sucked (nothing happened... maybe it will in the future, but also maybe it won't)

Tales from the loop is actually on Amazon prime, lol.

Yup. And now it's over. And so is my free trial next January. Bye, Apple TV. I won't miss you.

Tell that to Google's SEO ratings. A website using jpeg's is not going to do well.

People just really need to support it. It's far better than jpg or png. It's the go-to for web right now, that's for sure.

The original comment was unironically shitting on someone's comedic opinion of Apple, a company.

If you own apple products, good for you. I don't care in the least, nor will I judge you.

I do care about Apple selling them for the prices they do, though. And for their business practices making it hard to repair and maintain said devices. In my opinion, this makes them a shitty company.

I'm not shitting on people at all. I never say a word to my friends with iphones and macs unless they specifically try to convince me they are the best.

I'm shitting on Apple. A company. Despite what some politicians want you to believe, I don't think companies are people.

Not sure why they used this term. A DSLR is a camera most often used by professionals in the industry.

Digital single lense reflex cameras, such as the Canon 5d Mk IV, are still excellent cameras that outperform their smaller sensored counterparts in phones.

This said, many like myself have moved on to mirrorless in recent years. I'm not sure I miss anything other than the satisfying "click" from my DSLR's.

So, as a professional, working photographer I can tell you this comment makes no sense to me.

I've only bought two Samsung phones over the last ten years, but they have never failed to make the best mobile phone camera since I started keeping track in 2013.

It seems like you're talking specifically about processing, so perhaps that's the hangup here... I focus on RAW, and use other specialty services to process. You can never go wrong with Samsung (so far) if you want to best potential RAW image.

You may not realize it, but unless we're talking processors Apple almost always puts old tech in their devices.

Their laptops still sell with 8gb of slow RAM, and tiny hard drives. This is an upsell tactic so you pay them extortionate amounts for cheap upgrades. Then their computers... Oh man, just don't. They sell a stand that's $1,000, do we even need to go into the rest?

Even their phones STILL lack the latest features of their competitors. Though most competitors have vastly given up dramatic innovations. Check out the cameras, the screen refresh rates, the RAM, the screen brightness, and side-by-side user comparison testing of their poorly performing GPU's.

I'm sorry, but no. Apple is more than a "choice" - they have been damaging the progress of consumer technology for over a decade now. Their success in selling overpriced, dated, and uninnovative technology has driven all their competition to avoid "risky" innovation, and to mimic low-cost, consumer-hostile practices.

It's okay to shit on a company. What you're doing is defending a focused attack on a brand. Get over yourself. Apple doesn't need your help, they are the wealthiest company in the entire world right now.
