tvOS versions of media apps would 100% be a better fit for Compatibility mode on visionOS than their iPad counterparts.

tvOS apps are already designed for focus based interactions and iPad apps are soooooo not doing this.

The layouts of iPad apps are also pretty terrible for visionOS. I say that with experience in my own app 😂

We would probably turn on compatibility mode for @getchannels if we could do it for our tvOS version.

But the iPad version is just dumb in it.

@maddox visionOS doesn't rely nearly as much on focus-based interactions as tvOS...?

@harlan @maddox I think it's more around information density and expected interaction model? Media apps on tvOS is designed to be shown on a surface that's a few meters wide, where the iPad apps are designed to show on a 10~12inch display.
