I think a better question would have been "who uses a computer to sync iTunes videos to an iOS device?", but even that falls down when you start factoring in Internet caps and suchlike.
I’m not talking about iTunes videos. I’m talking about my other videos, like all the ripped kids DVDs that I use to entertain them.

I'm not talking about iTunes videos either. An app like VLC for iOS will be able to play anything you throw at it.
When I read the phrase "no pun intended" in an online article, I always wonder why, if they don't intend the pun, they don't just rephrase it?
I think it's bad style. You don't lose anything by people missing your joke. But you risk being viewed as vain and unfunny by cueing people to laugh whenever you think you're clever.

Who still uses the stock iOS app to watch videos? There are a thousand other ways to put video files on your iPhone or iPad and tons of great apps like VLC for iOS, Infuse, etc. that offer many ways of adding video files. I don't fault Apple for not adding new features to the legacy iTunes-iOS media sync system.
VLC has really offered outstanding support for transferring content onto the device. SMB, FTP, Plex servers, all the well known cloud services, even a built in web server so you can connect any web browser to your device's IP address and drag and drop files onto the device.
> No More iTunes For those of you excited by this, don’t be. All they did was split one app into four. It still works the same way. Yes you can see your device in the finder. But you can’t do anything with it other than upgrade the OS and back it up. Want to put a movie on your iPhone? You’d think you could just drag it from finder. But no, you have to load the AppleTV app, which is just the movies and tv part of iTu…

Literally everybody I know, including myself.
I dislike how much focus Apple and other companies put on Memoji's, Emoji's, Bitmoji's, Animoji's and all other shitty, cartoon representations of their users.
I suspect you and I are not the target demographics. My daughter was extremely chuffed that she will be able to design animojis now on her old iPhone SE.
But I don't understand if it's true second screen, i.e. a native replacement for what the Duet app does, or more like a second screen 'portal' for specific apps that implement that functionality.

VLC is great and I use it personally. But it's too complicated for my kids and doesn't integrate with the parental control system. And also, millions of people use Apple's apps to consume content and my objection was that they made that process worse.

Emojis are one of the few reasons why people update their OS. It is a great win for security.
One wonders - how long can updated emojis continue to motivate people to upgrade? Diminishing returns will have to kick in at some point. But there is still more room for innovation in the Messages app.

Why wouldn't you just use the files app on your device to connect to an SMB share and copy files onto the device that way?
Unless I missed something, the files app won’t put videos into the TV app.
You wouldn't need to open the TV app to control or trigger synch for video content.
Catalina handles both from the sidebar of the Finder.
