Apple TV Can Be Restored With an iPhone Starting With iOS 17

Good and useful feature.

Why remove the usb port? Even my HomePod mini can be connected to my MacBook to be restored. Hope they bring it back.

It’s such a pain to deploy build to the newer Apple TV

How do I mess my Apple TV up enough so that I can try this?

Install tvos17.
just had a black screen but before I knew you could do this. I just unplugged everything at the back, waited 30 secs and plugged everything back again.

I just wish they’d stick an m1 or 2 in the thing and go console crazy

So much wasted potential

You know a dozen Android people that would buy an Apple TV?

And they didn’t only because it didn’t have an Android version of this feature that was just introduced for the iPhone?

Seems reasonable.

Because they are not tech savvy and have been lead to believe purchase from Android and/or the eco systems are separate. They don’t understand for example, Movies Anywhere, allows cross platform. Signal is another.

Seems reasonable, if no one is around to educate them, or assist them. Or that tv is on many tv’s now.

I wish it was not…
