I’m guessing there are some complications hooking Apple TV’s native subtitles APIs to relevant web APIs, and low usage statistics doesn’t help prioritising fixing the issue. Although the rumour is that they are working on a completely new Apple TV app.

these counters are installed in every city in Iran.

even if a single person dies, that matters.
toning it down to 300 doesn't make it look better. each one of them is a human who was killed by Iranian regime.
here is Reuters confirming that number https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-protests-specialrepo...
It's not, Iran has been saying it very publicly:

you should be able to read Farsi, so check these 2 example out of many:

These photos show the counters installed in every city in Iran, counting down how many down days left to destroy Israel. eg wipe it off the map.
If another country did/do something wrong, that doesn't justify Iran's actions. everyone is responsible for their own action and the reality is current Iranian regime has killed many thousands of it's own citizens.
Iran shutting the plane down and denying for 3 days is not justifiable by any means.
out of curiosity, what is your opinion on 1500 protesters who died during 2019-2020 protests? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_Iranian_prot...
should we ignore this too because Israel also killed bunch of people?
First thing you need to know is the government itself in Iran is nobody, Ali Khamenei has been enjoying full power and control for the past 30 years or so. Iran's president and minsters can only be appointed by Khamenei's approval.
With him being in power he needed a royal force to follow his ideology and shut down any voice of criticism, that's IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps).
IRGC and Khamenei control as much as 50% of Iran's economy, from telecom to oil. needless to say they don't answer to anyone, they don't pay any taxes and Khameni itself doesn't even do any interviews with the press.
I think majority of Iranians hate the current regime as much as i do, for one, It's not possible to change it democratically. One person has all the power in country and he made a powerful force to back him up.
every time Iranians want to change the country, Khameni unleash his dogs (IRGC) and they either kill all the protestors or arrest them and sentence them to long term prison. I've been shot and spent time in Iran's political prison (Evin), my crime? participation in peaceful protests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Green_Movement)
> Would a return of the Shah be a positive thing?
Return of the Shah, reminds of me Russians who are envy of the soviet union time, because things were better at the time. I personally think democracy is the best way to go and no one person should have majority of the power.
> Do you have any fears of Israeli aggression, or would you support a peace deal
Enemy of my enemy is my friend, that's how I (and honestly majority of the people that i know) think of Israel. I think at the moment, Israel is the only country in the world stopping the regime from developing nuclear weapons and that's a good thing.
Iranians and Israelis historically have been friendly, Its only since this regime got the power that has changed, and i do understand why, because Iran has been threatening to wipe Israel off the map almost everyday.
Once that's done, they'll use that money to make more missiles and arm the militia in middle east.
Including citizens of Iran.
Iran has spent tens of billions of dollars in the past decade on what the regime's claims "peaceful nuclear power", ie to produce electricity.
meanwhile after spending tens of billions and four decades what we have is a 1000 MW nuclear power plant, and i assure you that's only a shop front so they can argue enriching uranium and making centrifuges are necessary to fuel the plant.
Iran has 2nd largest natural gas reserves in the world, because of sanctions Iran has lost lots foreign investments it needed to sell it and/or use it to generate electricity. Natural gas costs peanuts in Iran.
We could've made a deal with a foreign company and ask them to build and fuel the power plant for 1/4th of the price and 5 times the capacity like our neighbours (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah_nuclear_power_plant)
just in case you don't know, fuel for nuclear power plant is the cheapest item in the bill when you are building one. There is no economic benefit (and lots of disadvantage) to start from scratch and enrich your own fuel.
I don't want a regime who shuts down an airliner and deny it for 3 days have access to nuclear weapons.
do not believe a word from the regime who is killing its own people all the time. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_Iranian_prot...)

Sounds like a credible scientific journal
For example last year BBC Studios paid £200m as dividend to the BBC.
