If you were hoping to enjoy that new Black Mirror movie Bandersnatch on your fancy Apple TV, then apologies. You can’t.
If you were hoping to enjoy that new Black Mirror movie Bandersnatch on your fancy Apple TV, then apologies. You can’t.
First reported by MacRumors, we’ve confirmed that attempting to watch the interactive flick on an Apple TV (we tested it with the newer, 4k version) results in a supercut of Black Mirror characters saying “I’m sorry” before a voice helpfully suggests watching the film on another, supported device.
Almost immediately afterwards my personal email address (which is tied to my Netflix account) received an email from Netflix, again apologizing and noting that the show is “only compatible with newer smart TVs, most streaming media players, game consoles, and web browsers, and iOS and Android devices running the latest version of the Netflix app.”
This is surprising because the Apple TV is not an old device. The latest version of the Apple TV launched in the fall of 2017 and is powerful enough to support 4K streaming with HDR and 5.
