BBC iPlayer has just been updated to V2.40 on Apple TV where users can now access subtitles options across the app’s catalogue.

Unfortunately it appears as though the BBC have gone down a custom route, therefore ignoring Apple’s native subtitle support and user preferences.

Look forward to this one. Will’s story arch this season is so relatable, I had to watch screeners behind a pillow!

Here’s the full trailer for #ChiefOfWar, and it sounds like Hans Zimmer and James Everingham are about to give our home theatres a much deserved work-out!

I'm stoked for everyone excited about the purported M4 Apple Vision Pro variant. I hope Apple offer a generous upgrade program for those that have already made sizeable investments into the platform.

Magic Rays of Light will not release this week due to health and scheduling issues.

For now, watch some Apple TV, and play some Apple Arcade. Devon and Sigmund will be back next week!

Easily the highlight of today's screening was having my grandfather tap me during Silverstone to say "that turn was where I lost all of my teeth." Watching the final lap and seeing him relive his youth through this film will be a moment I'll cherish forever.

AI companionship may be a bridge too far, but based on these interactions I’m starting to doubt that thesis.

Apple’s β€˜Workout Buddy’ has already been something of a cardiac rehabilitation game-changer. After a week I can already vouch for its positive effects in tapping into that extra bit of effort within me often only reserved for my creative endeavours.

#BringHerBack had me asking if I’d ever get to sleep again after watching the entirety of its run-time through my fingers. Truly exceptional and daring work from directors Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou. Starring Sally Hawkins and an exceptional young cast, viewer discretion is advised.
