January 24, 2017 at 4:53 pmCan you tell me if there is a procedure to follow when looking for channels I want to watch on Apple TV? For instance, check the channel web site; check the Apple Store, etc?

March 25, 2017 at 3:44 amHi. Are you familiar with the iPhone 6s home button issue? I had this new phone a year ago, after unboxing I quickly noticed that the home button is not responsive if not pressed hard enough. Do you have any tips or solution for this? Thanks.
Appledystopia says
March 27, 2017 at 6:24 pmI have an iPhone 6, which has pretty much the same Home button. I’ve had the phone for two and a half years, and the Home button still works fine. I’m not familiar with the issue. I did some research and most of the fixes involve cleaning the Home button with alcohol, which I don’t recommend. The best thing you can do is to take it into the Apple Store (especially if it is still under warranty) or a qualified service technician. You can also alter some Accessibility settings to turn on AssistiveTouch, which will present an on-screen Home button.

December 5, 2018 at 8:23 pmCan I get the YES network on Apple TV?
Appledystopia says
December 5, 2018 at 8:42 pmYes, they have a Yes TV app for Apple TV. It’s pretty cool — free and no need to activate it with a TV provider. I am seeing more networks cutting the cord themselves!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work in the US.

June 28, 2019 at 12:30 pmYesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my Apple iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a YouTube sensation. My Apple iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
