M1 iPad Pro, M1 iMac, and New Apple TV 4K Start Arriving to Customers in New Zealand and Australia

I saw that mentioned in one of the YouTube reviews. Jump to 4:30

Thanks yes that’s what I was trying to describe. It’s doesn’t look bad or cheap to me in any way. Just had that observation.

 

[Squozen]

Anyone who has bothered to take even a cursory look at the specs would know that it does. 🙄

I had a cursory look and it doesn’t.

Had my AppleTV delivered this morning in Western Australia.

Not upgraded my AppleTV since gen 2 so this is a really nice change for me. With my dual HomePods this is all sounding pretty awesome, remote works well - need to get used to that jog wheel but it works well.

Hi again from Australia,

This is pretty bad:

Haha! ... BUT That would be a bug with the SpeedTest app, not the Apple TV.

First thought after using the remote. It’s pretty obvious that the mute and pause/play button need to be around the other way. Clearly Apple didn’t do any market research.

Australia Tax! Ouch!

Are it’s called wireless headphones now is the new technology buy new iPad and you expect to plug-in headphones need to get yourself up with technology as cables are disappearing.

If you ate doing pro audio, there are are issues with wireless. Wired headphones guarantee synchronised audio.

Anyone seen a pic or video that has the space grey iPad paired with the new white magic keyboard by any chance?

Ive seen a mock-up in another thread.

 

[VaruLV]

Only thing that interests me at the moment if whether regular tpu/silicone cases that were made for 2020 models really don't fit or fit right

 

[matrix07]

Yep. For my Apple TV 4th gen "HD"

Possibly it needs tvOS update?

 

[matrix07]

Will compare it against my galaxy s7 plus and decide then. I returned an iPhone 12 because the colors just don't pop compared to a galaxy phone. My 2018 iPad 12.9 went to my daughter cause the galaxy s7 plus display is way better to me. My HP x360 Spectre OLED display is way better than my M1 MBP to me. I don't really care all that much about processing power, but I do care about image quality and for so many Apple products they just are not as good to me. I'm not a die hard for Apple OS. I like them all.

Sounds like you like over saturated display. Apple display wouldn't be like that.

Enjoy your new devices everyone!

What's the resale value of an iPad with your name engraved on it? Just curious.

Depends on the name. According to studies (not really) the engravement "handsome lad" or "gorgeous lady" go well with higher margins in the second hand market. Meanwhile, specific names are often a minus, except for "John Doe" or "Jimmy", "Bobby", "Bob", etc... common names essentially.

Fair answer: of course it lowers your resell value. But by how much I have no idea - and I could care less about that engraving and left did not get it since it is on the backside anyways - how often are you going to look at it, especially if the iPad is in a case/keyboard cover?

I am showing my first device will arrive sometime today. UPS usually delivers before noon! Update once in hand!!

I expected a clock-wise scroll of the wheel would keep advancing the video forward (like on an iPod), but it does this:

I have the same problem. I don’t reckon the jog wheel functionality made this release. Or it’s tucked away in some weird settings area.

My Apple 4K TV was delivered today in the UK

Hold your thumb still on the outer scroll wheel for about 2 seconds and the jog wheel interface will magically appear. This is something that clearly wasn’t picked up in usability testing.

 

[mazz0]

Well mine arrived an hour ago. Anybody else got jaunty looking buttons?

Buttons at a jaunty angle on new Remote!

Bit of a QA fail there! I can't decide whether it'll bug me enough to return it, or whether I kinda like it. Annoying that the volume button isn't affected. Anybody else got the same thing?

Good morning from New Zealand

Nice one 😁, what colour and specs did you get?

 

[bobtem]

You forgot “for some lucky customers”...

 

[brilliantthings]

Possibly it needs tvOS update?

All up to date I'm afraid

This hasn't worked for me. What does the jog wheel interface look like?

 

[brilliantthings]

Disney+ needs to be updated as it uses its own video wrapper. The scrolling works fine on other apps (Netflix/TV for instance)

Jog wheel doesn't work well in any of those apps for me. It goes back and forth just like in my video.

Apparently DHL has deemed the new Apple TV 4K being dangerous as one of my shipments is currently on hold with details: "The shipment has been identified as containing Dangerous Goods and requires special processing"

 

[Td1970]

There are loads of inexpensive adapters on Amazon. Easy if you need to go wired.

Are the non Apple ones safe to use.
