Close up view of the Siri Remote jog-shuttle gesture

A lot of discussion the past few days about the new Siri Remote and its jog shuttle mechanism.

From a post we put up yesterday:

Scrubbing has two modes. As Tim points out, scrub left and right on the clickpad works intuitively, scrubbing a paused video left and right.

But if you touch the outer ring first, a ring icon will appear, that’s your sign you are in jog mode and you can trace a circle to jog forward or back. Definitely a hidden, low-discoverability feature, but one worth knowing about.

This textual description just wasn’t satisfying to me, though. It didn’t really paint the picture I had in my head. So I did this little video to show the gesture up close:

Kinda liked doing this. Might do some more of these.
