I didn’t think it was worth it at first because I have a Ps5, so everything (apps wise) I had, but I got the 2021 version on sale like 2 months ago, so I caved and I don’t regret it at all! Everything I need right on the Home Screen, being able to my my apple devices as a remote and even having Apple Music and the photos app is a game changer. Love my Apple TV 😂
Thanks, for your comment. I'm here to see if this would be good for my son. He has PS5 as well and he only use it for tv apps..smh. I may check into getting him this.
I have a PS5 as well that streams all my media and my TV supports Share Play with Apple Music. What else can Apple TV do for me that I can’t right now?
@@yourshyness32This device is essentially for people who don’t have smart TVs, or any other device to stream with. Apple TV will be practically useless as he can do about 99% of everything from his PS5.
@@yourshyness32 I have a PS5 and apple TV. I always use my Apple TV for streaming. It's way more convenient and I've noticed a-lot of PS5 apps dont run 4K HDR, where as apple TV does. The streaming experience especially with the remote makes things 1000% times easier. I'll never use my PS5 to watch/stream for the foreseeable future!
Agree on all points. I came from a Roku Ultra. It's now in use for my bedroom TV. The Apple TV 4k is now my main streamer on the living room TV. Buttery smooth. And props for the choice of using light mode. I thought I was the only one. Seems all the reviews and tips videos here have dark mode enabled. Apple TV 4k looks awesome in light mode.
I just bought this. The speed, smoothness, and no lag is why I'm thinking of keeping it. I prefer the Chromecast with Google TV's UI and customizable layout though. Plus I have an android phone so setup and typing isn't nearly as easy. Siri voice typing helps, but still 2nd to Google Assistant. If it wasn't for lag and lack of storage, the Chromecast would be far ahead of Apple TV, Roku, and Fire TV.
I tried Chromecast w/Google TV back in February. Really enjoyed the UI also, however, after about a month, the device started having freezing issues where rebooting was required. I was constantly closing apps and clearing cache so that wasn’t the issue. I’ve since returned to the newest ATV and it never freezes or buffers, never. If Chromecast w/Google TV can update their hardware that has more onboard storage and a better processor, only then will I consider purchasing that device again.
@@greghull3189 yea dude that's the main problem Google smh. I wish Google would just put better hardware with that great software. I'd pay $100 for it.
I love the Apple TV. But what really annoys me is that there is no guideline from Apple to developers regarding the UI and usage of the remote. While I can scrub back and forth on Disney plus using the iPod like click wheel, I cannot do the same on Amazon Prime or vice versa. In some apps I can long press the forward button to fast forward continuously, on other apps I can’t. I wish that Apple would force developers to add all functions in every video player: iPod like fast forwarding, swiping on the touch layer and clicking the most right button on the wheel. In addition to that: one time clicking should just jump 10 seconds back and forth.
Coming from a Roku and Shield TV, those are even worse at app uniformity. TiVo was the best at uniformity, but it was REALLY slow.. like 30 seconds to launch an app slow. The only reason the Apple TV isn't perfect for me is because I can't get lossless audio on plex. I'll use the apple TV for streaming, and the Shield TV for Plex. Overall, I love the Apple TV.
I got the 128 GB version last Friday and I love it. If you have an iPhone, the setup is as simple as holding your phone next to the device. All your apps are automatically downloaded and you're ready to go. I had a few people over to watch the Giants game (Go Big Blue) over the weekend via UA-cam TV and it worked flawlessly. I also watch Smile with my girlfriend last night and the picture was beautiful and crisp. Also, Smile is creepy as hell, but a good Horror movie. The best part in my opinion is that Apple will be supporting it for years to come and I won't be worrying if I'll get the latest tvOS version. I have no regrets with my purchase.
Yes, Apple will support it for years to come but will the streaming services be supporting it? In December of 2020 nearly all the premium streamers abandon every Apple TV below the HD version.. Suddenly everything was gone except Netflix, Crackle and Apple's streamer. Pretty soon Netflix will be gone (its currently running an old ass version of Netflix).. I do agree that the 2022 Apple TV 4K is awesome.. I'm a bit surprised that Apple hasn't come out with a full TV yet.
Apple abandoned every Apple TV before the HD (aka 4th gen) first because 3rd gen and older don’t run tvOS (they also have much less memory and compute).
That's good I know Apple makes good products for the customers. But I am in the Google ecosystem And I enjoy being in the Google ecosystem as well. For me I prefer Chromecast with Google TV device 4K version. I love the Google TV UI. And looks like you are and the apple ecosystem. I saw a couple of your videos is all about Apple. But also in my opinion The best two streaming devices UI are Google TV and Apple TV. I definitely enjoy and appreciate the video.
I absolutely love the speed of the Apple TV 4K. And its interfaces phenomenal. This is the only Apple product I have in my house so I really don't care about integration with anything else. The reason I ditched it however, is for some reason out of the blue and very randomly it would ask for my Apple ID password. It gave me the option to skip it for that moment but then it would immediately requested again. Sometimes it will request it a couple of times other times I'm skipping it 10 times in a row. Then it would leave me alone for a couple of hours or a couple of days and then pop up again wanting the password. Rince and repeat. Just became too frustrating having to always enter my Apple ID password.
as a long time firestick owner and now 1st time apple tv owner i can honestly say for just streaming movies and watching shows off the main apps like netflix,hulu etc apple tv is better and its alot faster and smoother than a firestick but if you wanna do more like browse the internet or download 3rd party apps like cinema hd etc off the internet onto your device then the firestick is better since you cant do that on apple tv with that being said i have both plugged into my tv
How easy is it to send your photos to this new ATV to be used as a screensaver? The only way with the older one is to send the photos to the cloud which I don't do because I have 25K plus photos :). It used to be simple, but it seems complicated now (if you don't use the cloud).
U really don't need an Apple TV with a 2022 Samsung or Sony tv because those tv already have a fast processor and all the latest apps for streaming .. You might want to consider a 'SuperBox', it streams all the latest movies that are currently in theaters and it has all the current tv shows all for free. Its about $299. It also supports all kinds of streaming app like Netflix.. It can also stream many Netflix movies & shows free.
I'm still using the first gen Apple TV 4K and it's awesome. One of my biggest peeves is lag when using these media sticks/boxes. I've had so many firesticks and boxes, ROKU, etc... and they all lag to some extent. The Apple boxes are the best. Pay the extra, you won't regret it.
I get lag on my Apple TV 64gb. I only bought it because my cable tv app works with it. I don't game with it. I have PlayStation 4 and 5 for gaming. It is overpriced , but i save money on renting a cable tv box, so i consider it a wash at the end of the day.
@@OpinionatedOG184 Read my comment again please......Apple TV 4K still does not support Dolby Atmos in "TrueHD"..........NOTE - TRUEHD....... It does support Dolby Atmos in Dolby Digital Plus (lossy format)...... Is doesn't support Dolby Atmos in TRUEHD(Lossless format) and DTS-HD(Lossless format) unfortunately. Thank you anyway
Do you need to plug the mini pod speaker into the AppleTV directly to have sound to the speaker? Or can the speaker be placed anywhere in the room and have it play sound via airplay?
When I decided to “cut the cord” about a year and a half ago, I started with Roku because of the cost. Roku is pretty good but the constant ads were starting to get to me, plus I’m all in with the Apple ecosystem. Since then I’ve gradually switched over to ATV, first the regular ones, then I upgraded to 4K, so now I rarely use Roku anymore - even on my Roku OS TVs. I just bought another older ATV 4K which are going cheap now that the new one is out because I still want the Ethernet connection and you can pick them up now cheaper than the new non-Ethernet version.
@@mamadouaziza2536 Pretty much all of them except the top of line one. I have had the Express, the various sticks and I have two Roku TV's. All have served me well but I just really like the ATV better now, even through Roku is somewhat integrated with Apple products.
Can it run xbmc , can it run pl.ex , can it be used on GeForce now can you use it for iptv big answer fing no stick with the nvidia shield still destroys this unit which is so locked down

I just upgraded from the 2017 version, it’s pretty much the same experience. Apple did a great job of keeping the older version fresh. The thing I noticed is when watching video games on UA-cam at 4k 60fps. The older version would only output at 1440p. The new Apple TV 4K will output at 4K 60.
I have a 2019 65 4K Sony OLED TV, it runs android tv and the apps work fine but they are very slow to respond and the remote is pretty awful hence not the best user experience.

used or refurbed Mac Mini is a much better streaming device than an Apple TV 4K, is a better value, more customizable, and more powerful. best of all, no youtube commercials.
TL;DR: Ethernet cable signal transmission is more reliable than Wi-Fi, so no dropouts in sound or constant video buffering. Otherwise, no noticeable difference in video or sound quality. Long version: If your home Wi-Fi is pretty fast and reliable, then you probably won’t notice any difference in video or sound quality. In my home, I use Ethernet cable because it is consistently reliable almost every time. When I use Wi-Fi the sound cuts off every several minutes which is super annoying. Occasionally, Wi-Fi speed for some reason drops from over 100 mpbs to less than 20 mbps. Ethernet is almost always at a consistent speed of at least 90 mbps. If you have Gigabit Ethernet capability then this’ll be way faster for you.
P.S. if your streaming device is too far from Wi-Fi source and has a weak signal, that’s another situation in which Ethernet can help you. You can have your streaming device as far as possible in your home, yet Ethernet transmission signal strength will still be great.
A $100 more it better offer a lot more. I have multiple Apple TVs, but have quit buying them. The ability to surf the internet that came earlier to other devices easily beats the Apple TV. Apple TVs of previous generations are missing plenty of applications.

what’s the difference between with the ethernet and without?? I’m going to be getting one for the holidays
TL;DR: Ethernet cable signal transmission is more reliable than Wi-Fi, so no dropouts in sound or constant video buffering. Otherwise, no noticeable difference in video or sound quality.
Long version: If your home Wi-Fi is pretty fast and reliable, then you probably won’t notice any difference in video or sound quality. In my home, I use Ethernet cable because it is consistently reliable almost every time. When I use Wi-Fi the sound cuts off every several minutes which is super annoying. Occasionally, Wi-Fi speed for some reason drops from over 100 mpbs to less than 20 mbps. Ethernet is almost always at a consistent speed of at least 90 mbps. If you have Gigabit Ethernet capability then this’ll be way faster for you.
P.S. if your streaming device is too far from Wi-Fi source and has a weak signal, that’s another situation in which Ethernet can help you. You can have your streaming device as far as possible in your home, yet Ethernet transmission signal strength will still be great.
Your reason number 5 is wrong. Apple don't allow you to install Express VPN. It's not there on the apple tv apple store that's so stupid.
But it’s only $30 more to get the 128GB + Ethernet.
The fact that you can’t turn a UA-cam tv channel on with Siri is borderline-criminal
I mean that’s Googles fault not Apples
I own the 1st 2 generations of the Apple TV and they rarely get used. TVOS is just horrible.
@@deman19901 I use mine daily. The OS is great
@@gjmcgee TVOS is horrible. It's the worst interface out of all streaming devices.
@@deman19901 what 💀
Is this for people with trash tvs ? Be honest?
All tvs can do everything Apple TV can and more. So my question, what can this do that a ‘Sky Glass TV’ cannot do?
ARC only available for HomePods which is lame ☠️
Agree on all points but on privacy - seriously apple is as best as Google amazon Facebook etc 😂
But can you get free movies and sports?
Ok ok under considering
Apple TV Android phone supported
Apple devotee will accept this.😅 No DTS, Dolby trueHD passthrough so its not worthy.
Apple TV has got to be Apple's worse product.
A $100 more it better offer a lot more. I have multiple Apple TVs, but have quit buying them. The ability to surf the internet that came earlier to other devices easily beats the Apple TV. Apple TVs of previous generations are missing plenty of applications.
How much you get paid from Apple Tv ?
🤔🤔🤔
Lol imagine Apple Pay’s UA-camrs for reviews
I actually own 2 Apple TV 4K's but I rarely use them. TVOS is the worst interface out of all streaming devices.
@@deman19901 you think so??? I think it’s the best OS, wish a tv could come w TVOS instead. I have a Samsung and Tizen is horrible
@@malachionig TVOS is about as horrible as Tizen
The previous gen Apple TV 4K & heck even the HD version are smooth & zippy as fuck... U really don't need to upgrade for "speed" !
