It Took Apple 8 Years to Listen to Me and Add This Killer Feature to the Apple TV
Take a look back at Apple’s black box and everything it’s added (or not) over the past decade.
Apple took eight years to incorporate a significant feature into the Apple TV, a streaming device that has been the subject of many articles and videos over the years. Despite attending only two Apple events in Cupertino, the author found themselves listing off improvements they hoped Apple would include in a potential refresh, which never materialized at the WWDC.
However, many of these wishes were eventually granted, with the addition of an Amazon video app, 4K support, and better TV control. The final feature to be added was a remote finder, which was launched in 2023 via TVOS 17 using Find My. Despite this progress, the author still wishes for an optical audio output on the Apple TV, a feature that appears to have been overlooked.
