Apple tvOS vs Android TV: A Huge Difference!

We recently tried out Apple’s tvOS and it’s far better than the Android TV experience, be it in terms of features, experience, apps, search, multitasking and more. In this video, we compare Apple tvOS vs Android TV to show the massive difference.

We used the Apple TV 4K 2nd Gen vs Realme Google TV 4K Stick to show you the difference between Apple’s TV OS and Google’s TV OS.

How has your experience been with Android TV? Also, how is your experience with Tizen and WebOS on Samsung and LG TVs? 📺🤔

[sauravgupta]

As I am Software Dev, the reason behind apple TV's apps looks universally same, because Apple forces developers to make apps like that other wise they won't publish your apps, but google doesn't!

True, I have downloaded Apple TV+ app on my MiTV and this is the smoothest app working on an android TV. This is the level of optimisation that apple does 🔥🔥🔥. Literally it is more smoother than Netflix app.

[DeepjyotiBarman]

Infact the Apple TV App works like a charm on my LG Tv. Never experienced such damn optimised app. Apple seriously kills with their optimisation in every department 🔥🔥🔥

Now this is what content I want!!!
Great work.

I wish someone from Google actually implements things like this on Android TV too.

As an Android tv user, I really can't understand why Google didn't enable recent app for switching between apps like tizen os.. It's high time Google give some importance to Android tv os.But remote feature & typing via phone is really improved now & no complaint about the same.

Only difference is the price ... I am happy with my 25, 000 4k android tv & 15, 000 mobile...

So I recently switched to apple tv and I have been loving it. Though my reasons for switching were completely different and probably something many others could relate to. A good chunk of the Indian consumer base are buying affordable 4k smart tvs like I did, but the problem with these devices is that their HDR sucks (with very low peak brightness to support such content). With all the OTT platforms now coming up with HDR content, my content consuming experience just deteriorated significantly over time. Unfortunately, android tv os and fire stick does not allow to disable HDR completely which is something Apple TV provides flexibility in (along with Jio Set up box which is like the only other option in India but the experience is far worse). It's been over a month that I got the apple tv and I've been really happy with the performance and since I'm heavily invested in the apple ecosystem, my tv watching experience has improved significantly.

Apple waits for a few years, learn what users want, integrates the best, gives the best experience, and simply conquers the market. Android and Google associated products are turning just into a scapegoat for apple to learn what can be done and what users want.

[jeevanbatla]

I recently switched to TV from the fire stick and the experience is mind blowing, I don’t have to deal with ad’s on the Home Screen interface and the performance is blazing fast and snappy

[sarm]

I bought an LG OLED C2 and the WebOS is a disappointment for a TV so perfect in all other departments. Apple TV is the upgrade it deserves.

[prempanchal]

Sir, You didn't speak about the pricing of apple tv, and is it compatible with an android device which you show features on iPhone..?

[visionaryafall]

This is what happens when you compare a 15k product to 4k product. Its like comparing a 15k phone to a 50k phone and then complaining it lags!
Apple TV still works better if you're in Apple ecosystem. For example, that adding new user thing, would that work for an Android phone? NO!
But on most Android TV, it maybe one extra step but MANY brands are supported, in similar 4 digit pin manner.

[PerfectorZY]

One huge thing I noticed coming from a fire stick 4k to the Apple TV was sound quality. I have a home theater (discrete speakers, no sound bars or anything like that) and man it made a HUGE difference. Even though both claim to be Dolby Atmos ready, the Apple TV sounds so much better. Everything is more open, sounds are easily pin pointed and not just "over there or over here". Clarity is better, resolution is better. Just better in every way. Makes sense, garbage in, garbage out. If you have even a 5.1 system, or like me and have a 5.2.2 system or better, do yourself a favor and upgrade!

[jahidsarkar]

The great thing about Apple is that they always overkill hardware and no one, no one makes software as polished as Apple. Thats the difference.
Pretty much all android TV comes with a crappy 1.5GHz quad core mediatek processor, just to get the job done where A12 in the new tvOS makes sure each and every single frame is perfectly rendered.

[An.Individual]

This is an interesting video.
I would never dream of buying an AppleTV (because it can't run kodi) but now I know it is much better.

[amaljoe]

Love the features on tvOS. I'm satisfied with support and experience on my 3 yr old mitv... the whole 43" tv was the same price of the apple tv box . But yes Google can definitely improve a lot of things in software if they wanted to...😅

[nishantak]

The biggest point is almost all android TV hardware cost is subsidised by ads and bloatware

Apple doesn’t have ads

[derricmcleanmenezes]

For the price we can't complain about Android tv

[aswin.viswas]

The feature about controlling the TV and typing from phone has been improved quite a bit with Google TV and Google Home application.
Then again, it is still not as polished as apple TV.
