Got mine in the mail today, really like it! High quality, metal construction with rubber in the right places, and it's heavy. Been using FaceTime on Apple TV for a while now, but this makes it so much easier and better.

[@roykent2316]

question: how is the microphone quality for the call? you usually sit a couple meters away from your tv, is the voice still transmitted clearly enough? 🤔 also i like the idea of using shareplay with this, but won't the other caller hear the audio of the movie/show you are watching on the tv? 😅

[@gerardrosales]

0:48 where's the wallpaper from?

I’ve been using this for a month now and I’m surprised how many ways I can use it. Obviously it’s meant for a mount for a tv but I also bring this with me in my bag and use it as a MagSafe Stand for watching some videos and something that I recently discovered is that it can be use as a Gimbal!

[@Marciap17]

After watching your review, I placed an order and I went to the Apple Store to pick it up earlier today. Thank you for letting us know, very helpful. 🤗

[@HiFiInsider]

would this work better than their desktop version? I have Apple Pro XDR Display.

[@zachhotchkiss]

I’d had absolutely no issue using the desktop version folded up in front of my tv. Then it is also a better angle.

[@roykent2316]

finally they released it. absurdly late, considering how long ago it was shown and announced 💀 i am considering getting one

[@bondjw07]

But where is the microphone during calls? Is it still using the mic on the phone that's like a mile away from you? Does it pickup any sound coming from the TV speakers since that's where sound will be coming from now and not the phone? Would have liked to have seen some deeper investigation from MacRumors

[@camerastooge]

Neat idea. But knowning Belkin, it's probably overpriced.

[@ScarthyUK]

It very much is overpriced!

[@CarlosKTCosta]

OH HELL YEAH!! Go Ritchmond! xD

[@ivannedyalkov]

Or you can get the monitor mount and use with your TV as well.

[@hvglaser]

1. Can it charge your phone through magsafe? 2. Can you join zoom calls or other video call platforms than facetime? 3. Can you have a phone permanently attached, without having to unlock and interact the phone constantly or something?

[@jonasneve710]

What?? I got that in June last year.

[@xacwhite]

You got the one for your MacBook this one’s for the TV. Looks like the back support is much longer.

[@jmssun]

Does it charge the phone as well?

[@jds4k]

No it doesn't.

[@khiryshank4930]

The Nintendo Switch's placement in front of the screen is bother me.

[@LungYang]

Geez. Can Apple just enable USB webcam connection to AppleTV.

[@Faisal0204]

nice

[@officiallytrav]

I couldn't tell you the last time I used FaceTime. Definitely won't be using it on my TV!

[@djxcel23]

$50

[@damianwojcikiewicz3951]

Apple - buy your iPhone to montage as a camera. How idiotic it is and people are excited.

[@jaymeazy6898]

Who is buying an iphone to do this???

[@specialk9999]

I don’t even like doing FaceTime in general.

[@jds4k]

Thanks for the information.

[@Faisal0204]

pin me pls

[@swaygfx]

Yea no 👎🏽
