That&rsquo;s one of those small usability friction point that keeps me from wanting to use the Apple TV and leaves me feeling frustrated that it&rsquo;s just not as good as it really is.

It&rsquo;s all about sweating the details, and bluntly Apple&rsquo;s not doing a great job of that right now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Previously: <a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2018\/10\/12\/anker-soundsync-drive-bluetooth-car-receiver\/\">Anker SoundSync Drive Bluetooth Car Receiver<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chuq Von Rospach: But the user me?
