I feel like the difference in Apple TVs shows versus other streamers is the cinematic quality.

It reminds me of the days when the difference between network tv shows and premium cable shows was distinct.

I can’t seem to find the exact words but it feels like Apple TVs programming is just more polished, whether the plot/writing/pacing etc. is not great it still feels like a polished product that fell short.

Apple understands that trying to cut every corner to reduce cost is a recipe for garbage. More than that, they’re not afraid to spend what’s necessary to achieve better than “good”. I think they’re evil in other ways for sure, but I respect this about them. It shows in everything* they produce.

That keyboard was the absolute worst.

And they did 3 different versions of that shit before killing it for good.

It’s kind of cool to see them back to basics. Good keyboard, good connectivity, no touchbar BS, crazy good CPU and GPUs, crazy battery life.
