why are they making things optional. we have seen from hbo max, netflix and others that using a non native player sucks. apple should force them to use their ui
 
Wait what? You watch movies on high speed?? Why would you do that? Watching the movie in itself is the experience, not the claim afterwards that you’ve seen it.
Think of documentaries, news, and interviews.

Also, there are many movies that I wish I had invested 50% less time in. You patiently wait for them to stick the landing, and they never do.

Or TV Shows that take too long to develop, so you abandon them early.

Disclaimer - I don't even have a TikTok account because I know what that's doing to our brains and attention spans...but I haven't listened to a podcast or audiobook on 1x speed in 15+ years.
 
Cool, you can watch videos faster but you still have to squint to see them in a tiny little window. Great job apple! A rotation button would be reaaalllly hard to implement. Maybe an apple approved $39.99 magnifying glass will be their next courageous move.
