YouTube TV Now Available On Samsung’s Smart TVs

One of the great things about this modern internet day and age is that we are no longer bound by more traditional methods of entertainment. For example just earlier this year, YouTube TV was officially launched which allowed viewers to watch their favorite shows and channels while on the go.

Now if you’re more of someone who prefers watching shows while at home, you’ll be pleased to learn that YouTube TV has announced that its app will now be available on Samsung’s smart TVs. Note that this only applies to Samsung’s 2016 and 2017 models, so if you own an older smart TV device then we guess you’re out of luck, at least for now because according to Google’s support page, support for older models are expected to arrive later.

It reads, “The app will be available soon on 2014 and 2015 Samsung and LG TVs, Sony Linux TVs, and Apple TV.” As Google points out (obviously), you will need to have an account on YouTube TV. Note that as of now YouTube TV is still only available in the US, and even then it isn’t available across the entire country.

The service has been slowly expanding to various markets in the US, and we expect that it should eventually encompass the entire country. You can find out if it’s in your area by going through the signup process, or head on over to Google’s website where you’ll see the entire list of areas that the service is currently available in.

Jony Ive Talks About Removing The Home Button In The iPhone X

One of the most iconic features of the iPhones over the past decade is the home button. It has been present in pretty much every iPhone since the beginning, and it has also led to lawsuits over its design. It is so iconic that even in drawings, diagrams, cartoons, and video games, seeing a smartphone with a home button is usually associated with the iPhone.

However all of that changed with the iPhone X, Apple’s first smartphone that does not feature that home button, or at least a physical one. Speaking to TIME in an interview, Apple’s design chief Jony Ive talks about the removal of the feature, in which he basically says that he believes that this is done for the better, despite the fact that home button has been such a staple feature.

Ive was quoted as saying, “I actually think the path of holding onto features that have been effective, the path of holding onto those whatever the cost, is a path that leads to failure. And in the short term, it’s the path the feels less risky and it’s the path that feels more secure.” To replace the home button, Apple has introduced more swipes and gestures to the iPhone X.

Reviewers such as Marques Brownlee in his review of the iPhone X have noted that these gestures are probably the biggest learning curve that users will have to get used to, which we agree, but whether or not this decision will pay off for Apple in the long-run remains to be seen, and last we heard Apple could introduce 3 new iPhones in 2018 that could adopt the iPhone X’s design.
