Continuity is f’ing great as a user, but showing it on TV would cause discontinuity for the viewers.
If I’m using a laptop and get a text, I read and reply there.
On screen the audience sees that as chat rooms not SMS.
I do it on my Windows PC and Android. At least one other person does this. 🤣
I use Continuity a for messages a lot, it’s a great feature. Ted Lasso isn’t a show about Apple though, they probably film it that way because they think it’s more natural. If they had to explain the characters behaviour it might feel like more forced product placement.
For All Mankind has some interesting glimpses of alternative history Apple products.
At one point characters are having video calls on Apple Newtons with colour displays and cameras.
Color Newtons? Now you’re just making me sad.
They do show it in one or two occasions. And as a Signal and XMPP user I thought, wow, didn't know that Apple devices can do that now, too.
