The Apple TV App Store sucks for games. I'd prefer firing up GTA:SA or goat simulator on the phone and then projecting it through the Apple TV.

I have that one. Don't mind the controller at all. I have a smart TV but find the Apple TV menu works much faster so it's just more convenient to use. The casting and all that is a plus.

Hey since people are talking Apple TV. Does anyone know why my subwoofer wont work with Apple TV when outputting audio? Every other input works fine, such as blutooth and PS4. When I use my AppleTV to stream TV my subwoofer shuts off and doesnt work for some reason. Can't figure it out.

Perhaps it's your audio settings in your Apple TV Settings menu. Might be set to 2.0 stereo by default.
Is the subwoofer Bluetooth and are you running it through the Apple TV?

You're ignoring legitimate and trustworthy sources and citing vague and general sales data that have been true every year the iPhone has been on sale. We know the iPhone was one of the top selling phones on the market. We don't know what Apple projected. We don't have Apple confirming they decreased production, but we don't have them denying the reports either (google them yourself, it's not that hard). The sales numbers don't point to anything, they tell us the iPhone 7 continues to hold a high market share. They don't tell us anything else, certainly nothing that would negate reports that production slowed or that Apple was disappointed.
At this point, I'm 100% sure you're not reading my posts. You keep saying that I've said something I've never said, and you keep repeating the same post you've mde since I made my first comment on this issue. Before you reply again, actually go back and read my posts. I've never said sales sucked, the 7 failed, or even that it didn't sell well. The more you keep saying I did when you're literally quoting the posts where I didn't say it, the more you look like another Apple lemming.

I have checked before and everything seemed alright ill double check thanks.
I run the Apple TV to my receiver and the subwoofer is plugged into the receiver. Lets say I switch my receiver to my PS4 connection, subwoofer works great, click over to apple tv connection, subwoofer no longer works. Weird. Its gotta be the apple tv settings? But I really don't see any settings that are wrong.

I know my PS3 had the same problem, and the cause was that only certain types of streams and bitrates were selected by default. PCM vs Dolby Digital vs whatever. Allowing all selections fixed the problem.

What? You have yet to post one source, not to mention a credible. Also, the sales results have been posted by pretty much every major media outlet. I'm confused as to what you're talking about at this point.
You said the iPhone 7 did not meet expectations and cited specifically it had something to do with the headphone jack. Am I wrong? Post a link with data that confirms this. That's all I'm asking. According to everything I read it did very well. Post a flipping link from a credible source then. The rest of your position regarding forecasting, production is all conjecture. 2nd, I'm not personally attacking you so let's not start with that B.S. I find your posts very informative in other threads on this site. Sorry for using terms like fail or sucked in place of not meet expectations but the overall tone of your response seemed to point in that direction.
I also made the very point that sales did well for other factors beyond Apple's control or planning. You think it was a disappointment because they dropped production at some point. I'll just leave it at that and stop gumming up this thread.

I got a new Honda Pilot last night that has the Apple Car Play in it. It's freaking amazing. Hooks up to your mapping, music (Spotify and Pandora, too), reads your texts, and has Siri on the steering wheel. LOVE IT.
Also...reminder that 11 will be out in about 3 hours.

The CD player in my decade+ old Toyota died recently. Planning to replace the HU with a Carplay compatible system. Even found cheap solutions for adding Siri/phone buttons to the steering wheel, backup camera, and USB ports on the center console.
Been waiting a while for some compelling Carplay receivers, looks like we're finally starting to see some nice price points and feature mix on the aftermarket Carplay systems. Planning to get the recently released Pioneer AVH-1330NEX: Carplay, Spotify/Pandora, handsfree Siri, DVD/CD/USB audio and video media support, and importantly HD Radio tuner.

You'll love it. Basically, it's your phone on a larger touch-screen in your dash. It's really cool.

I always like to do PCM and I fiddled around last night and it started working when I switched to Dolby and not "best available." So I guess I'll use that.
I use PCM on my PS4 though.

Ugh. Just realized how many good old games on my iPhone/iPad that iOS 11 is going to brick.
Swords & Soldiers - great little strategy
Civilization: Revolution - great little mobile game for scratching that Civ itch on the go. I once killed an entire trans-atlantic flight playing a game of Civ
Midway Arcade - so many great classic arcade games in this app.
Wolfenstein 3D - biggest nostalgia game for me. I played the hell out of Wolf3D when I was 12 and I loved having it back again on my iPad.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing - a great SEGA-ified Mariokart that's one of the go-to favorites for my 6-year-old.
Cripes. I'm honestly considering skipping the iOS11 upgrade. Don't want to lose that many good games.
The best part of these older iOS games is they were all from before the whole industry went to the free-to-play/in-app-purchases model. They were all pay-once/play-forever games. Except now we are apparently reaching the end of that "forever."

Nice. Good to hear you fixed it. That stuff can be frustrating.
Agreed, it makes iPads look and run much smoother. I really like the simplified controls dock on both devices. The keyboard has some new tricks too.
Oh snap. The iPhone 8 and X support Qi wireless charging, but also pad-free wireless charging.
The support for it is expensive, and not completely "free roam" and all around whatever room the support is in, but you can use your phone while it's wirelessly charging at the speed of a cabled connection (10w): https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/19/iphone-x-long-range-wireless-charging/
Lots of iPhone 8 reviews are dropping too.

Would be great to see that tech built into HomePod. Not holding my breath, though.

Yeah, the day that TouchArcade wrote of the end of 32-bit compatibility was the end of investing in iPhone gaming, for me. People now would rather watch stupid ads that eat their data, than pay a fair price for a quality game.

One thing I haven’t been able to figure out (unless it was changed) is how to access Spotify controls in command centre like I used to be able to do. It seems like it’s just for the music app now
