I’ve written a blog post about the most important technological issue of our time - why every streaming service has its own weird keyboard.

Yeah those keyboard layouts are TERRIBLE! Takes forever to type anything and I usually make mistakes too. Now I use AppleTVs and as soon as I open a search field my iPhone pops up a keyboard to type instead of using the remote, or I can use the Siri Remote to dictate the phrase. Still would prefer a QWERTY layout though.

The text input pop-up on iPhones when using an Apple TV really is one of the best features I’ve encountered in streaming-land.
