I doubt they ever will. Is there any use for that apart from for people who use ripped media from their (local) library? I just can't see Apple get involved with that to support it on what the Apple TV is.
Then Apple should disable storage on all iPhones and iPads because people store their own media on it. Viewing own clicked photos should be banned and Apple must have a portal for people to see “curated” photos which are certified by Apple to see. Cameras need to be removed as well.
A bit of an overreaction, the group of people who make their own home movies in a production with full Dolby Atmos, let alone DTS, would be incredibly small.
I used to make copies of my own bought DVDs, Blu-rays, and UHD Blu-rays. To be honest, I stopped that years ago as the personal storage requirements are actually silly, online streaming really came of age, but more importantly, when I have the Blu-ray I can just pop it in my Oppo player. The time to rip, catalogue, store, manage the storage system just totally out ways any benefit. And the legality of doing that always been in the grey area. Especially as I knew loads of people who had an unlimited rental agreement like Love Film, got the 2 Blu-rays, ripped them, then ordered the next set. I'm not buying it that the fast majority truly keeps all the original copies that they 'bought'. And for those few true home cinema fans that go that far, there are other ways that such playback can be facilitated superbly, and they won't rely on something like HDMI pass-through capabilities. The best Blu-ray player there ever can do this as well.
Apparently Apples software dev department consists of 2 part-time interns and they’re busy trying to figure out AI.
I too am experiencing weird back button behavior. If I press the back button five or so times in a row, the audio will distort (I've only experienced this listening via my AirPods 3). If I press another time or two, the audio will drop out completely. The only fix I've found is to restart the device or put it to sleep and wake it.
Re supported vacuums, here is the entire list as of December. A lot of new models have come out in the last month or so, particularly Roborock, and given they are high end, I expect they will too.
Matter-Compatible Robot Vacuums at Vacuum Wars
I got the Roborock q5 pro. Hope it gets an update but just using the app is not really a problem when I lift all the chairs and stuff beforehand anyway. 😄
I have an iRobot i5 and I wish it was HomeKit compatible but I use Shortcuts (just have to remember to unlock my phone first or it will fail
) and I too try to lift my dining room chairs and office chair out of the way...sometimes I left it go without but just thinking it is best to clear the path for this stupid thing.
I know with the iRobot App I can say when we leave the house vacuum. but that means one more app to use my location. So, having them reside in Home means it is just the Home App. Another thing, for my usage, is I can create Shortcuts and ask Siri but I cannot use my WATCH or the HomePod. It HAS to be my phone and it HAS to be unlocked in order for it to wok. I would assume bringing Vacuums into HomeKit means I can just ask any Siri. One last thing...I suppose you could say when you arrive home, if Vacuum is running, to make it head back home. one more idea, if you normally go to work and have it scheduled to vacuum at 9am, but today you have off, you could work it too that if your Work Alarm does not go off or the Calendar says Off Work NOT too vacuum that day.
yes I guess so. I tend to use home automations with a proper controller like the Homey. I haven't found a real need for the robot vaccuums personally. Just have them hoover three times a week, and mop once. Or if I have a spill I just tell them to clean it up.
