[@MrJuggaloBIGB]

I use the Apple TV every day,it’s my favorite streaming box.

[@Turtlemilk]

What’s the best movie/show app to get ?

[@bmorg5190]

Same here been using it for years now.. Way better than anything else that's out there and I still wish that the Apple TV was even quicker and faster and smoother.. I think they should add a HOLD button on the remote so you don't accidentally hit the remote in it does whatever.. I do that a lot and it keeps me out to the home screen or something They need to add that it would be very helpful..

[@The92Waffles]

it is truly the best one. Definitely worth the extra price over other brands like Roku

[@bmorg5190]

[@jebaattau886]

i think adding safari back to apple tv will be great .

[@mysterisstudios]

It was there once?

[@AudiophileTommy]

If Apple can come in at under $100.00 it will be a HUGE success for sure !!!

[@MrHusain5253]

I hope we get a proper pass through and support for all lossless audio formats this time. If that's the case it'll be a no brainer buy from me

[@Alessandro20090313]

I have it but sadly swapped to a fire stick, apple is missing pass through audio for the Apple TV, especially when pairing this with a surround sound and lg c1 tv

[@AppleInsider]

What do you mean passthrough audio?

[@Alessandro20090313]

@@AppleInsider when using 3rd party apps like kodi, there is an issue with the audio source, even when trying to use 7.1 as an audio setting it’s only displayed as 2.0, I looked though the forms and everyone is having the same issue with Apple TV

[@Sam-Retina]

@@Alessandro20090313I solved this by connecting ting my Apple TV directly to my Dolby atoms soundbar and pass through works perfectly.

[@plasteredlips]

I travel with my Apple TV. would love a stick version.

Love my Apple TV 4k

[@ProjectCovenant]

I have 2 appletv 4k gen 1s. Was waiting for the new model this year but I know as soon as I buy one a new one will come out. I really HDR10+ so it’s tempting

[@Bmarker299]

My AV installed tells me that Apple tv is the most popular He is encouraging me to use KZbin TV with apple TV and to ditch cable. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

[@PikaPower131313]

should I wait for the 4th gen? I want to get one specifically for gaming. June passed and there is still nothing on the new Apple TV

[@CrizzX]

Right? I would love to see Apple beef up their gaming capacity.

[@raulquinones-rosado3332]

I’ve had a 2 or 3 generations of AppleTV. I would love them to add better music streaming capabilities.

[@juniordelgiorno5260]

Absolutely love my Apple TV and have used them for years. Would like to see them improve the FaceTime handoff which almost never works.

[@davidwelch2494]

We have two Apple TVs and I’m getting ready to buy another. I would love a travel friendly version though.

[@scottfox6271]

Love it! Bought the top latest one.

[@JDoG867]

I’ve bought everyone to date. Currently have 4 generations, one each each room. It’s our daily driver for streaming.

[@oliver2833]

allow infuse to make improvements in their app to include dts, truHD 7.1 and other codec sound improvement ...

[@newelementdesigns]

Same for Plex. The hardware is there to handle it.

[@kennylowrie]

Use it as my main streaming device love it and easy to use

[@zedge1205]

We watch a lot of live TV over the air with an antenna. I wish the AppleTV had a way to either control the tv channels, or even had an option to add a tuner module of some sort. The over the air channels look so much better than Hulu Live, or KZbin TV, and I don’t want to pay for something that’s free anyway. Anyone have any thoughts of how to handle live over the air tv other than jumping out of the AppleTV and using the tvs tuner?

[@paulfava2275]

I have two 4K Apple TVs, and my main complaint is the Siri button on the side of the remote. 9 times out of 10 when I pick up the remote I activate Siri by accident. 😑

[@oxxo902]

I have 4 Apple TVs. We use them heavily nearly all time while using TV

[@brysonsierens5581]

i use it , amazing product

[@andrewmorris8531]

I have 4 in my home. I haven’t turned on my cable box in a few years and just use the cable company app as well as the up next for all my other channels. Absolutely love them.

[@user-sk4gj3ji3o]

Smart home integration?

[@3wheelmannc860]

It would be nice to have a full Apple 3.1, 5.1 and/or 7.1 home theater system and one that does not require a home mortgage.

[@jamesleon6980]

I have a 2022 Apple TV 4K with 128GB since it first came out. Although, since the 2022 Apple TV 4K introduces support for HDR10+, I wish Apple can put support for DTS:X on a newer 2024 Apple TV 4K for both Disney+ IMAX Enhanced content and content on the Apple TV app that doesn’t have Dolby Atmos (Jurassic Park 1-3 and Jurassic World 1 for example). What do you think, Appleinsider?

[@KillierElite]

I absolutely love Apple TV and products

[@100Kittigyal]

I would be getting one for Christmas whether it upgrades or not

[@imperfectxennial3008]

2  4K first generations in my house

[@kevinjackson7539]

I’ve had every version but if there isn’t a significant upgrade like support for HDR 10 or 10+ I’ll be skipping this one

[@ebstmnt]

[@mikeE0055]

We have 5 and use 2 every day and the other 3 at least twice a week. I’ll get the new one when it comes out for sure.

[@jakedunlap8809]

It would be nice to have some sort of speaker on the side of the Siri remote that would allow you to locate it if you lose it. I am not a gamer. I do watch MLB app and ESPN and it’s also good to have the DIRECTV app during severe weather season.

[@dennisbourne7560]

What about Dtxs And imax?

[@servare2599]

Yessss! DTS audio support would be awesome

[@mpc562]

I have the latest Apple TV and I love it better than any of the streaming boxes I’ve ever used - even better than Nvidia Shield TV. To me, one of the most awesome things for me is how I can be watching a YT video, suddenly have to leave and turn off the box … later when I can continue watching, starting up the box puts me right back where the video cut off - like it turned off and was placed in a save stated by the OS. That is great. The thing on emulation, I don’t think the newer version will need drastically more space, but Apple needs to work a way to have apps on your Apple TV access your Files app … I have an emulator on my ipad but all of my games are stored in Files. Having accessibility to Files would negate the need for large amounts of on device storage.

[@TheTechguy40]

Should I wait in getting. Apple TV 4K? Or buy now?

[@itzam0o33]

wait

[@alexwaynemiller]

More than anything I want more codec support for Plex server playback. Too many weird hoops to jump through to get all the highest end video and audio codecs to stream from a NAS. The much older Nvidia Shield Pro can do more in the codec space than the newest Apple TVs. Fingers crossed!

[@JDA2790]

Finally a video talking about the Apple TV possibly coming instead of Ai Ai Ai

[@tomphillips8739]

I have 3 Apple TVs and 3 smart TVs, LG but I use the Apple TV only on them.

[@AllenJWard]

How do so many people loose their remote. I have a seven year old and we may "loose" it once a month for less than five minutes. I don't understand why that is such an issue for people

[@adrianjenkins2447]

I suspect, for the gaming enthusiasts, the next version will have ray tracing on the chip, probably the same chip in the forthcoming iphone 16 the current chip must be coming to the end of its production run? I use mine for TV and plex, video and streaming multi-channel audio from my Server

[@JoePieczynski]

If they dont offer proper upscaling features Im not interested in upgrading from my shield pro.

[@AppleInsider]

Always the question of who does the upscaling. The streaming box or the TV? Right now, it's usually the TVs. If you have a super high-end TV, that's probably for the best.

[@KryssN1]

⁠@@AppleInsidernot true really, Samsung and Philips tvs does pretty bad job of upscaling. Saying this as someone who got expensive 77q90c from Samsung. Could use nvidia shield or ATV with upscale by AI

[@zmtvworld6616]

I also love to use Apple TV 4K but my one is old 1st generation, and want 3rd generation but no one is trading

[@stuartdcrane]

We have 4 Apple TV's and have finally switched over from using whole-house DVRs (which were awesome) to all streaming... via our Apple TV's. The "Up Next" feature is absolutely killer and is what makes it possible to figure out what shows/episodes you are watching, like the DVR interface on the cable box does. Apple needs to promote this Up Next feature more -- it's definitely a game changer.

[@UNSC-ow3bh]

The A15 is overkill from a tv box standpoint but man...People need to try one to see how good they are. Apple Music alone how it interfaces with it is stellar!!!

[@Vincent-oc5rd]

My apple tv HD doesnt play 4k so i hope they will bring 4k this time around

[@AppleInsider]

Well they won’t bring 4K to the Apple TV HD. But many other new features will come

[@Bayshore958]

3 4K currently in use with 5-6 older units around somewhere. Everything TV related runs through them.

[@harveysmith4424]

Have always loved the Apple TV. IMO it needs to come out with A17 pro or M1, give it access to the games available on iOS/MacOS

[@jerryfife9087]

I am using the latest AppleTV and have been using AppleTV hardware for years. I find that I occasionally use the Sony A80L TV's built apps because I think it does a better job with the sound and picture adjustments. It is unclear to me if AppleTV hardware is picking up the Netflix and Prime calibration modes. Maybe a good topic for one of your videos'

[@craigcritelli6327]

Needs an over the air tuner

[@Radvan84]

I sold my apple tv as I upgraded my tv and didn’t really need it anymore. I still thinking about getting new one however. For me biggest issue is that you can’t download films and series bought on iTunes and watch them offline. There is 128GB for nothing really.

[@dustin13able]

Love Apple TV

[@joseaavellanet4322]

Great video! I think more storage for games in Apple TV will be great, if that happens we no for sure the Apple TV it´s not going to be cheap.

[@whisperingdreams3170]

What does it do that my tv does not?

[@mysterisstudios]

Tvs have underpowered, they are laggy and not so fast, in tv boxes there are a lot more power inside it than tvs, they are a lot faster than a 1000 dollar tv for example

[@disastermaster1413]

I use the Apple Tv 4k second gen 2021 model with the A12 chip. I had it replaced twice while under AppleCare. It actually cost more for the 64gb compared to the Apple Tv 4k 3rd gen 64gb. The 3rd gen has a A15 chip in it. If I buy another one I will get it unless the next gen Apple Tv comes with the A17 or M1.

[@dmfinpa]

I use it but less now that I have a 4K TV and X1 box that facilitates access to streaming apps, some (via X1) in 4K HDR. I primarily use Apple TV when I want to askew the TV internal speakers and play through the AV receiver for best quality sound.

[@dnodoz1753]

We are long term cord cutters and use an antenna for broadcast Tv to supplement our streaming. Would love to see OTA dvr in the Apple TV similar to Tablo and TiVo. We’ve had every gen of Apple TV but that is the only upgrade that would keep me investing.

[@Poweranimals]

I want 120fps functionality.

[@Rixdler]

I use it daily and mostly for its function with eARC, as I use a couple of HomePods as TV speakers. It would be awesome if the new Apple TV can handle 4 HomePods and have real surround.

[@driver288]

I’m watching this on my Apple TV 😂 I use it every day. I like the tvOS 17 upgrades and see no real need for an upgrade at this point.

[@GalaxyChris640]

I got the first gen i didn't realize no hdr+ now i wanna upgrade, i might wait i still got dolby vision

[@jpracing893]

I used a friends Apple TV last week and I was sold on one after 5min of use, I have an LG C3 which is pretty new and I thought was fine but now it seems so sluggish in comparison - I'll wait for the new one given the current model is 2022

[@BarcelonasHotCrowd]

The current Apple TV 4K is absolute perfection. It's a highly polished device where so much attention to detail has gone in to. The A15 is incredibly fast. Truly love it. I have it connected to an LG C2 OLED TV and the two seem to be perfect together. HomeSharing on it is flawless as is the way that it works with AirPods Pro with no lip sync issues. Just perfect!

[@Bjd79]

I love my Apple TV 4K. It’s at least 5 years old and still runs the latest TV OS 17.5.2! But I’m looking for a reason to upgrade and HDR10+ and a faster processor would be great!

[@PilotRocker]

I have 3 ATV's with one in the living room attached to an Anthem MRX 1140 receiver and the ATV in the master bedroom using 2 OG HomePods as speakers, I would like to see Apple make two changes to the audio subsystem. 1) support higher than 48Khz sampling to allow Lossless Music on Apple Music to be played. Also support Dolby TrueHD Lossless Atoms vs the compressed stream we suffer with now. 2) support the HomePod mini as rear speakers to complement the HomePod as front Left and Right and virtual center speaker.

[@m.hreels9822]

I love my Apple TV, but I can't stand how the remote misfires whenever I'm trying to navigate around the UI. It is so egregiously frustrating that I almost don't even want to use my Apple TV anymore 😂. If they can make a better remote that actually clicks the right thing when you click on it, that would be great 👍🏻 LOL.

[@goattakerstudios8374]

[@ardenaudreyarji]

[@Shao-Khan1515]

They need to have a built in camera for FaceTime and a dag converter to actually hear the lossless hi res audio in Apple Music.

[@willfromthefutur]

I have 6 Apple TVs in my home, it’s my most heavily used Apple product and there’s nothing I want more than a pro version that lets me game.

[@viktorhenzel7655]

I love the Apple TV i still have the HD version from 2015 its even running tvos 18. I just have a full HD Samsung TV so i never upgraded, now im just waiting for a new apple tv with better gaming capabilities. Even though UI and streaming running smooth, multitasking and gaming stutters ligtly on the ATV HD, including that there are some features missing like facetime, means that its time for me to upgrade.

[@PuzzlingRailfanatic]

I bought the latest Apple TV model in December 2022, because the Google TV interface on my TCL main TV was so bad, and I haven't logged that TV back online ever since. I'll never have a smart TV hooked up to the internet ever again, unless a TV shows up that runs tvOS

[@wondreal]

I am using one need more features

[@farmerbob339]

I don't use it with KZbin since it doesn't deal with the transitions well at all. The Firestick is seamless when watching KZbin.
