The search function actually works now compared to two years ago.

App startup time on my Fire Stick dropped from 8 seconds to 3 this year.

That improvement is real. Same on my Android TV box.

The apps now remember where I was across devices. Was a missing feature for years.

Dark mode came to several apps this year too.

Cross-device sync is huge. Watching on phone then picking up on TV seamlessly.

Dark mode + OLED TV = visually stunning interface.
