I still don’t understand how it works in every day life
Besides being an amazing streaming box, both perf-wise and overall UX/UI, my favorite feature is easily the TV app’s unified Up Next feature. It allows me to have a single source of things I want to watch (except Netflix because they haven’t opened up their API). I also love being able to easily use my AirPods
Don’t get one then? Lmao idk why posts like this exist. It’s a high quality streaming box with a nice UI and integration with Apple’s other products.
What kind of bullshit reply is this? Answer OPs question instead. Fucking hell.
The answer is Apple TV box is great regardless of having TV+ or not. You can install a lot of apps and other streaming services.
I mean— come on.
Just type it into YouTube and you’ll get detailed reviews of exactly what it is.
OP basically just said “I have zero idea what this product is— try to sell me on it”. 🙄
I have seen many of these in stores and was wondering if it would be a good purchase I didn’t know about that simple
As someone who came from using a Shield I can honestly say that Apple TV 4K is the best around.
Apps start much faster, no lag, no glitches. I primarily use youtube, plex, youtube kids, spotify, sling, and netflix.
Don’t get me wrong, the Shield was awesome at the time and way better than any of the “stick” streamers, but the Apple TV 4K is a whole new level. Even the small details like their screensaver make it all feel very polished.
Having your photos displayed on your TV is an excellent feature. And now with Facetime which is amazing
Also note that you don’t need an AppleTV to get an AppleTV+ subscription. The AppleTV+ app is available on most streaming platforms (Roku, Fire, etc.).
Personally, though, I endorse the AppleTV as a great device. I’ve had my 4k version for several years, and it shows no sign of obsolescence and outperforms my FireTV Max and the WebOS platform on my LG C2. It’s smoother, faster, more stable, and utilizes all the features — UHD, Atmos, etc. — available on each service. (Exception: there are some X-ray/bonus features on certain Prime shows only viewable on a FireTV.) You can count on getting the best available picture and audio quality from each service on an AppleTV, IMO.
With the right HDMI cable the AppleTV 4K has superior audio and video than what my TV can dish out with its downloaded apps.
I like it. Remote is great, apps are fine. Wish they’d have a better ui background. Strangely the picture and video seemed to improve for me? I run through a receiver so no idea if it was cables or settings but love it!
Here’s someone I trust talking about it on YouTube (Digital Trends):

Thank you very much bro
I use plex and other apps .
You don’t need an Apple TV + subscription. It’s a great box
Viewing your photos on the big screen, modest games BBC iPlayer to name a few
And now FaceTime, which I use way more than I thought I would
Apple TV boxes are great for streaming Netflix, Disney +, HBO Max/Max, as well as your cable package (you can often save a lot on rental of TV boxes with an Apple TV box.
Do you use any streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, etc?
I don’t have a subscription but absolutely use ATV 4K everyday. It’s just a great machine. Get it OP. If you have any more questions, ask away.
I guess it’s piracy but movie box is something to look into. They don’t have their own official app on the Apple TV but it uses tvmplayer and it basically means I have my own home cinema
Apple tv is the best streaming box by far. I kind of settled on firetv cube with Kodi, but after trying Apple tv and Infuse, there really is no competition. Shit just works
This is the way. The free apps are still by far the best on Apple TV.
