Then my iPhone pops up a "Keyboard Input" notification with a text input that I can type from the phone without unlocking it.

Of course, if you don't have your phone nearby it might suck but let's be realistic, how often you don't have your phone close by when watching TV?

P.S.: Yes, I know, if you are an Android user there is no way out and Apple sucks for that, not defending them at all.

This is a company supposedly famous for great user interfaces and usability. Why not try to live up to it?

There are actually many times I don't have my phone with me while watching TV. I carry it with me everywhere all day, but I try to keep it on the table most of the time when at home.

Apple TV has bluetooth, so if this is really an issue for you, why not get a dedicated TV keyboard?

Why can't they just fix their user interface? Nobody in the world I have talked to thinks this is the best choice of interfaces.

I don't need a dedicated TV keyboard. As I said, I work around it by using the TV apps, but it's annoying, and the most annoying part is that it's probably annoying on purpose to get people more on their phone.
