The one that mystifies me, is why Apple pulled their original Dubai At Night screensaver[0].

I was in a room of Apple TV engineers when the screensaver of I-110 in LA came on. Everyone agreed that it caused mild anxiety. I'm glad I don't see it in the rotation anymore.

I don't know why anyone would want to look at gross car dependent hell. Not something to be in awe of

It links off to `https://sylvan.apple.com/` which has a name mismatch cert error. If you follow the url in the console (and ignore the cert error) you can download it. Not super convenient but there you are.

It's a beautiful recording of a dystopic society.

I'd take a guess and say that Dubai is one of those places that's a bit paranoid of aerial imagery?

Was this filmed with a drone or helicopter? Is it possible the right "permits" weren't obtained before flying over the rush hour traffic?

I have no idea. It’s an awesome video.

I have couple of friends that used to work for Apple, and neither one has any idea why.

There's still a daytime top-down Dubai screensaver video on Apple TV I believe.

Thank you for these! I think I'll have to enable a setting on mine to get the other screensavers.

I thought you could pick that categories in the settings, I swear I turned off the city ones cause I hate the city and I don’t live i. A city.

The files are still available in both 4K and 4K HDR versions, I still have them by default in Aerial if you miss them.

That's weird, it immediately made me think of the Genshin impact loading screen. https://youtu.be/rBnfA4pXw6U
