That market already belongs to Samsung, LG and the new Chinese companies. If Apple can't compete in the market with computers, phones, I've a hard time believing they'll be successful in the tv-market.

I'm not liking this at all. I for one use Apple TV's in some of my rooms just for audio for example. I totally do not like the fact that these are monitor or TV dependent. I want the screen of the Apple TV to show up on our phones so then you get full navigation with the touch of your finger without a need to be connected to the monitor of any kind. To be clear, I sometimes only use them for audio only.
That market doesn't seem to be lucrative to Apple anymore. Like the MacPro, they don't update categories what's not giving enough profits
I just tried it by turning off Wifi on my phone. It doesn't work unless connected to the same Wifi network even after the initial pairing (so the article's claim that it works over Bluetooth doesn't appear to be accurate).

Good. I cannot stand the ATV 4 remote. I pick it up backwards every time and if it gets bumped a button gets pushed.
Finally, an AppleTV remote app that is almost as good as the Kodi/XBMC remote app.
They've had auto-keyboard launch for text fields since forever.

They should make this app gender specific. I just don't want anyone feeling left out
I have not tried it yet, just got it. I am pretty annoyed that I now have to have both apps on my phone since they apparently do not have the same features.
Here is an idea, create a remote that doesn't revolve around being thin. I just want a remove with some grip and an obvious front and back.

Yeah Apple's doing so badly in the computer and phone market they are practically bankrupt.
I agree. The old remote app used to be able to work without having the screen on. Would be nice to get this back.

They can hold this pace of slow innovation for years to come and won't go bankrupt. But if this pace continues be ready for bigger market share declines and even more expensive Apple gear.
Jesus Christ Apple, why is there no iPad version? Seriously? It doesn't take that long to create a universal app and that UI looks pretty scalable. So, why?
I absolutely disagree. Apple TV 4 has set the stage for the full TV device's functionality, all that's needed now is a gorgeous minimal display. "Samsung, LG and the new Chinese companies" are great at flash-in-the-pan hocus-pocus hardware design with wacky trimmings, but Apple has proven time and again (apart from the protruding camera) it knows how to deliver clean product design that stands the test of time. The market is huge and waiting for Apple.
Right? I'd be embarrassed by how many times I've tried to use this stupid remote upside down if not for the fact it was due to just a ****** design on their part.

Why would anyone pay an Apple tax on TV? What could Apple possibly bring to the game to be a serious threat to the likes of Vizio, Samsung, LG etc besides a higher price?
I guess you live in the US. The Apple TV 4 here doesn't understand Dutch and doesn't support Siri. I don't understand why it's even being up for sell as it's quite useless.

You hate ! it's not all about you, believe it or not some folk do subscribe to AM and very happy with it but hold on , I'll just email Tim to change it all coz some selfish **** doesn't think we should req it omg
The speed from your ISP has nothing to do with your internal network. The app required you to be on the same internal network.
Why do I want to buy this ? I don't like the one I have now on the Apple TV.
