Why did the Chicago Skyline Screen Saver disappear on Apple TV?

I turned on 🍎 TV one day and for about 10 seconds I saw the Chicago Skyline looking as gorgeous as it wanna look!! Then all of a sudden… IT WAS GONE!! Never to be seen again since then!! I would really love to know what happened!

There have been quite a few cityscapes and skylines in the Aerial screen saver video collection (Dubai, Los Angeles, London, New York, San Fransisco, Hong Kong), but I don’t recall Chicago being among them, nor do sites describing these official screen saver clips ever mention Chicago. A very few Aerial clips have been delisted (some because of 1080p instead of 4K), but no city has been missing due to that.



Possibly what you saw was not part of the official Aerial screen savers collection?

The screen savers do not come on when you turn on the Apple TV box, so this may have been something else? The screen saver starts after a set amount of idle time (nothing streaming).

There are so many of them it may still be there!


Here’s a tip I’m not sure you’re aware of.


On your Apple TV you can double tap the menu button to initiate the screensaver, when it starts, you can swipe left and right on the remote touch pad to change the screensaver. Try cycling through them and see if you can find it again. Perhaps it was a different city? The location is usually shown when doing this too!


Cheers!
