Is it worth buying HomePod Mini if you're using Homekit?

[normanrobson]

Can I use this 4K Apple TV with my HD television?

[DarenLee]

I’ve been wondering, if I have a 2022 smart tv, what’s the reason to use Apple TV? Apart from smart home.

[szaretsky]

I have a 2017 Apple TV 4K - I will absolutely consider upgrading to the new higher end one. Thread and Ethernet are absolutely worth it in my opinion.

[PrincessNybor]

Excellent summary - we currently have four Apple TVs, and I think we’ll probably pick up a a couple of new ones (with Ethernet) to replace a 2017 4k model and an original 2015 HD model, which has recently started to act up.

Like you, I see no reason to upgrade the two 2021 models we purchased last year, which are still working great. But year-over-year upgrades are rarely worth it.

Bummer they eliminated Ethernet and Thread support from the base model, but I’m grateful for the overall price cut.

[balde]

I bought two Apple TV 4K but I haven't been able to download any application for two months because both devices keep saying that I can't connect to the App Store (Apple can't help with that). I recommend other products like the NVIDIA Shield.

[miltona]

What about if I purchase two a month ago and now they came out with this. I’m still able to return so should I just exchange them

[Gudbrand]

Is anything upgraded relative to HomePod Mini?

[imperfectxennial]

What about upgrading from the 2017 AppleTV 4K? Is it worth the upgrade from that?

[nzpc]

I kind of see your point but I actually think the removal of ethernet and thread from the base model makes total sense. It allows them to drop the price to a point that potentially attracts a whole new market of people and specifically this is targeting your every day common man who wants to enjoy a good streaming setup but has no interest in fancy home automation or the performance of a hard wired connection. For most consumers honestly that stuff doesn't matter much, but the lower price will so its a smart move. For those of us who do care about those features the new high end model is only $20 more and is still cheaper than the equivalent previous generation models so it's a no brainer win all around in my opinion.

Greetings from Montreal 🇨🇦, here a new suscriptor ! I built my own Apple ecosystem, but I never had an Apple TV before. Do I really need it if I have a smart tv at home ?

[cyriakus]

Can you finally download purchased movies to this device or is it still too early for such technological wonders?

[daveX]

You forgot to mention the VP9 Codec and YT Support for 4K and HDR which the 2017 model DONT have.

[roeiboot]

So here’s something I feel is odd (unless I am wrong, which is quite possible ;-}. I can turn off my Apple TV using Siri, but if I put it in my goodnight automation it doesn’t work. Is there a way to put it in there so it does turn off?

Thanks in advance.

[CasualViewer-tf]

I’d love to see Apple take Arcade more seriously and add an M1 chip in the TV line up. With the new enhancements to Metal3 it’d be nice to see apple close the loop on gaming more tightly. Guessing I’m the odd one out here but it’d be cool to see.

[jimnewtonsmith]

I have a new 2022 Sony Bravia Master series tv which works off Google TVOS. I have deleted my personal Google account as it has made the television reception unstable! Are there any known stability issues with the Apple TV?

[dcb]

To do stereo hompods don’t I need this version of Apple TV?

[mr.hammer]

Can you download music and turn off your wifi and still play ur music

[Lynyrd_Evnyrd]

I’m hoping the new one supports High Res lossless audio. As it happens I’m still within my return window on a 2021 model I bought but haven’t set up yet so I’m returning it and ordered the new model.

Not really an upgrade per se but I’m happy to spend the extra $30 to try the new model instead.

[liju]

Does it work with the external sound bar? Via Bluetooth or the HDMI- ARC out ?
Especially the Apple TV 4K 2022?
