I upgraded from my a10x version and AirPlay seems far better.
Faster and far more reliable.
Did not expect that at all

The 2017 is still good enough for most people. I have all 3 models and while the newest is certainly the fastest, all of them are better than the built in OS on pretty much any TV.

I got the brand new Apple TV 4K 2022 128GB WiFi + Ethernet 2 weeks ago before I bought me a 4K TV to put in my room. I bought my new TV yesterday and hooked my new HDMI to my brand new 2022 Apple TV 4K. The screen is beautiful. 🙂

I just ordered the latest model 128GB tonight. My first Apple TV will replace my FireStick. I hate the FireStick as it is very slow and causes my Plex movies to stop/stutter then restarts the app. Not a fan. I will be testing the device to ensure it is right for me. Just started using Apple products last year in May and so far I'm liking it.

Just got the new Apple TV with ethernet. Believe me, the extra 20 bucks is worth it. I have 1 GiG download from my internet provider. This makes a high difference in streaming content.

[christianhotter]

I'm liking the price. I personally see no reason for anyone getting a new Apple TV not to get the ethernet version for the thread functionality. Even if you have three Apple TVs in different rooms, it would come in handy to have more thread devices spread out around the house. Hopefully Apple updates the software so we can pick our hub.

I agree completely that the remote should be in 'find my'. I'd also like to see them bring back the gyroscope functionality of the old remote. My family used it with Just Dance and as a steering wheel for racing games.

Didn’t the a10x only come in iPad pros? The iPhone 7 just had the A10 Fusion.

I removed my HomePod mini stereo pair from my HomeKit and added them back again and now my Apple TV 4K is my Home HomeKit Hub. Still think it’s silly you can’t pick though.

[TheThaiLife]

I've been waiting so long for them to be in stock in Thailand, that I went ahead and bought a Fire TV Stick. Wow, Amazon voice search is so much better. The experience is great and it was like 1/4 the price. So, crossing this off my list.

Maybe I will have to wait the next Apple TV box (5th generation)in few years and hope solve the problems like old Apple TV box 2021

[BobkelsoDK]

In Denmark the new One is still cheaper even the 128 gb version

[DGYtown]

Should I go with HomePod mini stereo set up or sound bar ?

[MARKGABRIEL]

I got my 128gb model. It get it to work after turning off I have to unplug the power to get it to start. Very annoying

[jerrybomcool]

I’m going be retuning mine at this rate. Mine won’t work with my HomePod mini’s and it’s really annoying me! I keep getting an airplay error

[jasondesramaux]

I have the new Apple TV ordered. We have 4 (2017) and 3 (HD) models, The HD model is fine but you can't add any new apps like Plex.

[Spike-qhbb]

Would buy it for £100 max, rather buy Nvidia Shield Pro can do so much more that I'm interested in.
Apple TV is fast though shame just be waste of my money, most of the features can't or won't ever use.

[SchalkBruwer]

Good vid! Thanks for mentioning the recommendations about thread if already owning a Homepod mini

[SourxStacksz_]

So does the 2022 version have thread and the 2021 version does not ?

[WhittyPics]

I have last year's version. I see no reason to upgrade

[bearfootbears]

Does the Apple TV 2nd gen have the Match Dynamic Range and Match Frame Rate features like the 3rd gen Apple TV?
