I've been using other streaming services and devices for a long time, even though I've been immersed in the Apple ecosystem for a while — The Apple TV doesn't seem to get much attention, but I believe it should, which is why I decided to make this Apple TV 4K review.

Having first owned an Apple TV since 2018, I couldn’t even imagine using stock or downloaded apps on TV’s itself. It’s No comparison. And the 3rd generation 4K is soooo much better than my older 1st & 2nd Gen. I didn’t expect the difference to be that noticeable in size or speed.

i wish they had built an airtag into the remote. since it's so small and easy to lose to couch cushions this would be a huge convenience

My favorite thing is that movies purchased through Apple often have special features and commentary on par with a DVD or Blu Ray if you access them on an AppleTV device.

And there are so many good $5-$10 sales every week, it is easy to build a digital library of my favorite films so I don’t have to hunt through a dozen different streaming services every time I want to watch something specific.

Kyle from a semi-pro photographer and tech enthusiast's perspective, wow, this video is, incredible. The polish, b-roll, framing of the monologue (with great lighting choices in the background), the info, the content, the product deep dive, the transitions, this is just plain excellent all-around! Keep up the great work man, I'm a new subscriber as of today!

Don't forget that most smart TVs and external Android boxes show ads, which cannot be disabled. Also the Apple TV is one the very few settop boxes, which can pass through the original frame rate of played material - so there is no micro-stuttering like on so many Android bases boxes and TVs ....

I upgraded from the 2017 4K Apple TV to the current 128Gb model. I’ll say this, Apple did a great job keeping the 2107 version up to date. I haven’t noticed much difference between the two versions. One thing I noticed was when watching videos on YouTube in 4K 60fps the 2017 model would downscale to 1440p 60fps. The current version runs 4K hdr 60fps no problem.

I've been using an XBox One as my streaming device for years and on apps like Netflix there's a noticeable improvement in performance over my TV's built in Netflix app. And, of course, I can game on it. However, I live in Apple land these days and the tight integration with my devices make the Apple TV very tempting, especially since it has the A15 processor and it's reasonably priced.

I've just gotten in to listening to spatial audio via Apple Music on the Apple TV. Even with a 5.1 setup it sounds incredible. Turns the TV into a karaoke screen too. Neighbours be damned, I'm a belter. Pity it's to Barbie Girl but you gotta start somewhere.

I.just ordered one and should be here tomorrow. I'm excited! I've used the fire stick for the last 5 years and noticed recently it lags quite a bit so this should be a great upgrade for me.

A big advantage of the Apple 4k TV is the ability to change the TV resolution format back to the original show's format. For instance, DS9 on Paramount+ looks terrible in 4K, but the Apple player lets me change my LGC2 resolution to 720p SDR. Looks so much better. Same with Seinfeld on Netflix which is horrific in 4K. The Apple TV makes these shows so much better to watch.

I use my Apple TV and iPad as another monitor of my MacBook Pro sometimes when I have a huge work load works perfectly for me

I love my Apple TV with the original HomePods. I have it connected to a 77” LG OLED. The Apple TV interface is simple and clean. Plus, with the HomePods it is a theater-like experience.

I am fully submerged into the Apple ecosystem though, so the Apple TV works with all of my devices.

[carlcameron]

If you have the iPhone 14 pro model the always on display keeps the Apple TV remote on screen. I really love my Apple TV.

[andresrivera]

Crazy how i never thought i would buy an apple tv now i have 3 they are like the airpods you hate on them until you use them and realize how good they are

[CJSouth_]

Probably the best Apple TV review I’ve seen and I’ve watched a decent amount of them admittedly. Good job!

[ullisses]

I bought an Apple TV4 seven years ago and is still working perfectly. I also have the dedicated steel series gamepad and there is no problem at all. I will upgrade to the new Apple TV4k third generation and I know it will get me going for more 7 years.

What 40"-43" TV monitor(s) do you recommend with ATV if not connecting to WiFi?
Thanks for an excellent video.

[ybK]

Can you change the Source with this remote when you want to switch to xbox? and then switch back to Apple tv afterwards?

[pritam_kaushik]

What is the life of the apple tv remote as the batteries are non replaceable? will the TV be useless without the remote?
Also, can it be connected with monitor instead of a TV and all features can be used?

[heidi]

I love my Apple TV. I use it with a stereo pair of HomePod Minis. I have a HomeKit set up for my smart home and I have notifications that pop up on screen for doorbell cams and when my smart door lock is locked and unlocked. I can use my phone or Apple Watch for a remote if I need to. It’s a beautiful ecosystem.
