New vibrant app icon wiggle! #AppleTV

Apple has officially renamed its streaming service: "Apple TV+ is now simply #AppleTV, with a vibrant new identity." Hopefully a precursor to further clarifying announcements later this week!

Apple Intellygence 📺

I’m beyond grateful to the British Film Institute for inviting me back for press and industry screenings ahead of this year’s #LFF. A packed program with the majority of titles destined for theatres and your Apple TV app watchlists!

A little Apple TV tip for users with accounts on both sides of the Atlantic. If you switch to an account but it’s not showing listings from the expected region, make sure that the relevant preferred Apple TV languages are selected. Settings > General > Apple TV Languages

Like his films, this trailer demands you to sit up! The filmmaker. The legacy. The story behind it all. #MrScorsese — October 17 on Apple TV+

This week on Magic Rays of Light 🔥🚍🔥 I’m joined by @chancemiller.me to highlight #TheLostBus - Paul Greengrass’s emotional California fire triumph-over-disaster movie – plus, #TheSavant’s postponement, Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl, trailer talk, and the week in Apple TV! Listen now 🟣: apple.co/4gZmugQ

This week on Magic Rays of Light 🏍️ We immerse ourselves in speed with #MotoGP on Apple Vision Pro and say one last goodbye to #Acapulco – plus, first impressions of AirPods Pro 3 and iPhone Air and the week in the world of Apple TV. Listen now 🟣: apple.co/3KBItxY

#TheSavant - which was set to debut this Friday on Apple TV+ - appears to be subject to a last minute postponement with its listing removed from the coming soon tab and the show’s page revised to say “coming at a later date.”

Got my hands on AirPods Pro 3 earlier today and I’ve been having bilingual conversations for the last hour. Live Translation will be a learning aid more than it will be a cheat code. Truly life enhancing!

This week on Magic Rays of Light 📺 My mini-review of tvOS 26 and a discussion on the importance of Apple TV evangelism – plus, visionOS 26 highlights, the return of #TheMorningShow, #Foundation recapped, and Emmy wins galore! Listen now 🟣: apple.co/46aM0vK

#TheMorningShow is back. Doubling down on last season’s pivot from prestige drama to delectably chaotic soap opera, the usual UBA jockeying continues amid corporate coverups, conspiracy theories, deepfakes, surprise call-backs, and stupendous scandal. Stop doomscrolling and start watching!

#F1TheMovie will see its US physical release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray on October 6 through Warner Bros Home Entertainment. Available in a limited edition 2-disc SteelBook set, 1-disc 4K Blu-ray, and HD Blu-ray options, a digital copy will also be included, redeemable in the Apple TV app.

Whilst he may have just watched the finale to Foundation on Apple Vision Pro in the Jupiter environment… @devondundee.com is absolutely on the money when he says “visionOS still feels like a platform that’s just getting started.” www.macstories.net/stories/visi...

As demonstrated by my friend Kaustubh Debnath on X, iOS 26 renders Liquid Glass UI in HDR! Taps on bottom nav bars trigger specular highlights, peaking at around 350 nits. Screenshots and recordings can capture the additional luminance data in PQ EOTF with HDR10 🤯

tvOS26 releases later today for Apple TV 4K, with one glaring omission being the purported addition of audio passthrough. APIs included with last week's RC aren't yet complete, so if anything is coming to that area of the audio pipeline, don't expect it to appear in any app updates available today.

#TheStudio deserves every one of its #Emmy wins last night. One of the most re-watchable and hilarious shows to grace the streaming era! Season 2 begins shooting in Los Angeles this December before location shoots in Italy early next year.

Late to the party today, but I bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max earlier, and you better believe I colour matched my Siri Remote. An upgrade was in doubt this year, so what was the clincher? Open gate recording and Pro-Res Raw. Looking forward to matching my other cameras.

Apple bringing bullet-time to the masses is a pretty wild flex following Danny Boyle’s #28YearsLater. You may need additional resource and people to maximise the most out of #iPhonePro models for a video workflow, but the possibilities are beyond mind-boggling.

Apple TV HD and tvOS received their big reveals ten years ago today. And yes, Beck’s “Dreams” still absolutely slams! #AppleEvent

Silly #AppleEvent predictions: • A New Apple TV? • Pro Motion everywhere • iPhone 17 Pro 8K and 4K Spatial Video • Anti-reflective screen options • AirPods Pro 3 with dual-drivers • AirPower is revived

New hardware in the house.

This week on Magic Rays of Light 📱 It’s almost showtime! We share our predictions ahead of next week’s Awe Dropping #AppleEvent. Ten years on from the big reveals of Apple TV HD and tvOS, will we see new Apple TV hardware? Listen now 🟣: apple.co/4g2aQkE

Coldplay’s #MusicOfTheSpheresWorldTour Wembley Stadium residence is being captured with BlackMagic URSA Cine Immersive cameras by Piper Films for a future Apple Immersive Video project. Super excited to see the creative direction taken, especially with the advent of moongoggles. Credit: Neil Enore

Even though I may not have loved his latest film, without doubt Spike Lee continues to be a visionary with a singular unapologetic and unwavering vision you cannot help but admire. A worthwhile conversation piece: www.vulture.com/article/spik...

This week on Magic Rays of Light 🛸 #Invasion returns for more expansive sci-fi action, and we go behind the wheel for a detailed look at the VOD release of #F1TheMovie – plus, trailer talk, price increases, and ChatGPT comes to Apple TV. Listen now 🟣: apple.co/3Vmgftd

#Highest2Lowest - Despite a riveting train sequence scored by a mix of Eddie Palmieri piano and chants of “Boston sucks,” I’m sorry to say that this Spike Lee joint had more lows than highs. A formulaic, technically challenged film unfitting of the last king of Brooklyn.

“It’s Showtime” - September 12, 2006. Where the Apple TV obsession began!

Trinnov Audio have just announced Altitude CI, a fully networked, Audio-over-IP processor designed specifically for the custom integration market with the promise of scalability and flexibility in a compact 2RU form-factor. Safe to say, I’m finally ready to jump onboard the Waveforming bandwagon!

Inspired by Andrea Stanley’s 2019 Cosmopolitan article “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?” Jessica Chastain stars in #TheSavant, premiering September 26 on Apple TV+ www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a28...

#F1TheMovie is now available to purchase or rent via the Apple TV app, including exclusive iTunes extras. At the time of writing the PVOD release is presented in 2.39:1 scope throughout. Hopefully an option to watch the film in its 1.90:1 IMAX expanded ratio is forthcoming.

Apple TV+ has raised its monthly subscription cost to $12.99* a month yet remains the best value in streaming. Consistent high-quality ad-free original programming, 4K HDR and Spatial Audio with the highest bitrates in streaming, offline downloads and family sharing. *Annual pricing unchanged.

Never let someone stop you achieving your goals by projecting their fears onto you. And yes, that includes painting your home theatre room completely black. My one regret is not doing it sooner!

In March, Apple added the Lumon Terminal Pro from Severance to its website, but no actual product was sold. Well, I may have done something fiscally irresponsible yesterday by backing a project from Atomic Keyboard that plans to reproduce the MDR Dasher Keyboard. Praise Kier and hope it works out.

This week on Magic Rays of Light 🔥 Where there’s Smoke… there’s another excellent Taron Egerton performance. We recap the latest creation from Dennis Lehane - plus our thoughts on a potential A17 Pro powered Apple TV 4K, and the week in Apple TV. Listen now 🟣: apple.co/45stRcv

#TheDink is the latest sports comedy acquired by Apple Original Films 🏓 Penned by Sean Clements, produced by Ben Stiller, and directed by Josh Greenbaum - Jake Johnson stars as a washed-up tennis pro who (in his desperation to save a struggling club) breaks a sacred vow by playing pickleball!

The man, the movies, and the city that made them. Rebecca Miller’s five-part documentary event examines the colorful life experiences, and informed artistic vision from cinema’s most beloved storyteller, historian, and film preservationist. Mr. Scorsese — October 17 on Apple TV+

Easily my favourite shot so far from Chief of War. The perfect still to represent the show’s merciless beauty.

My new daily footwear for my health and fitness journey. Plenty of kms and podcasts to come. Nike outdid themselves with these!

#WEAPONS was wild, and at times snort-worthy hilarious. Zach Cregger’s unique voice proves its deserving of a packed-out theatre. Meanwhile, Austin Abrams once again delivering comedic timing with pizzazz!

This week on Magic Rays of Light 🌺 Devon gets an Alien intervention, and I share my custom art project for increasing media browsing legibility – plus, the return of the hilarious Platonic, and Chief of War reveals itself as the surprise epic no one expected! Listen now 🟣: apple.co/45ins3D
