Finally broke down and got an Apple TV after my fire stick annoyed me for the last time. What are some cool features that may not be apparent right away? Anything that improves the qol on the device at all?

I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV as well specifically for the reason to pinch zoom. The feature where you double tap on the remote and the video fills the screen, like on a tablet or phone. I know I'm cutting out parts of the frame, but I really like my screen being filled 🙂

Does this feature work in tvOS17 in every app? Meaning, AppleTV, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube Movies, HBO, etc?

I'd really-really appreciate an answer, as where I live (Greece), there aren't official Apple stores where you can go and test these things.

Thanks!

No, this is not a feature I’ve ever encountered
