Can Apple have third party home screens?
Nope
No, that would allow someone to take over the device.
However, it does wake up to whatever app was last running so the difference is likely semantic.
Mine are always in the Plex app, even on TVs that have Plex apps because they cannot return to the exact same Plex screen.
It's weird that people are dropping hundreds or thousands on a tv only to cheap out on the device they are presumably using to stream their pirated content.
I have Apple TVs that have outlived their original TVs. From what I'm reading here many people are on their third or fourth chrome cast. Silly.
The earlier CCs were slow and/or had less features.
Sorry but I don't like being stuck at 720p.
Also they are very cheap so replacing them is hardly of any value and you can still gift them to anyone else in need.
