Your video is excellent. I purchased my Apple TV 4 K in June and love it. Thanks for all your tips on Apple TV 4 K

[@cheapme1850]

Started out with Roku but once I got an ATV, I got rid of Roku, especially because the ads were just too much. ATV also integrated with my home automation (HomeKit) seamlessly.

[@martinb896]

Excellent Video! Thank You

[@ItsTheSidJ]

Dude, love how articulate you are with your reviews. Keep up the good work cheers! 👏 👍

[@jpracing893]

I'm pretty sold the Apple TV I always thought it was useless, but ever since I used a friends Apple TV I was sold, I have an LG C3 so pretty nice OLED but even though it's not that old, the OS seems slow. The Apple TV was so fluid when I used it thanks to that A15. I've heard there is a new one coming as im aware this was released in 2022 so I'd probably hold out for that as im in no rush yet, but definitely sold

[@NitinPanchal]

Does it have safari numbers & keynotes ?

[@mellyons4964]

Thanks for the tutorial. I like Apple TV and have 5 of the two are 4K. Looking forward to the update on IOS 18. Enjoyed your video

[@HalfManHalfTech]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@strictlyp532]

I have ATV and Google TV both plugged into my TV. GTV never gets switched on. The Apple TV is an experience and hardware far beyond anything else.

[@Rmbrown1964]

I just purchased the Apple TV 4K 128. I just thought it was another Roku or google tv thing. But it’s much more than that! I was thinking of waiting to buy the new one that I believe is coming out sometime in 2024 but I decided on this one. I’m sure I will be getting the new one that comes out to. I’m also in the apple ecosystem iPhones Mac books iPads and and Apple Watch. Love it.

[@nibrashamdan9921]

hey pro have you Heard of nVidia shield??

[@rodimarincassemiro]

Its just the best device I have after the iPhone and MacBook. Simple change the way you can watch tv. And the VPN on it its just mind blowing! Suuper good!

[@erickgomez7257]

I want one, when is Apple updating the Apple TV

[@HowardKat]

Had the Chromecast with Google TV 4K n didn't enjoy the experience there, did my research then picked up the 128GB version n I must say, value for money. What does it for me is the performance, it's snappy, the multitasking is smooth as butter, picture quality is better overall, integrates well with the ecosystem, rechargeable remote, jam packed with features. All in all if you enjoy a good entertainment experience then definitely pick up the Apple TV 4K it's a well rounded package.

[@Vscounter]

@@HowardKat I am debating if I should get the 64 or 128GB. I don’t need the Ethernet port. I want to know where you are already at with storage. Thanks for your reply in advance.

[@HowardKat]

@@Vscounter I got the 128GB version for the ethernet port and thread tech' that let's you connect to other home devices that support IoT (Internet of Things.) My storage is far from full, only do streaming ie Netflix, Paramount+, Disney+ etc, so if that will be your main use then spring for the 64GB and you should be fine, otherwise if you plan installing games and apps more storage should be future proof.

[@Streamlined955]

Yeah, the Apple TV is the best. Doing FaceTime calls with the other person on the TV feels so futuristic.

[@odzzmusic]

UNRELATED BUT YOUR VIDEO QUALITY IS AMAZING BRUUUH!!!

[@cod4787]

An amazing product, I already have 4 of them. This is the only Apple product that I am using.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

@3:46 you mentioned how the this version of the Apple TV doesn’t have a fan. It’s great for weight savings, but it’s not good for anything that pushes the hardware (i.e. games). Since the older models can sustain higher performance levels with ease because of their active cooling.

[@TechHeadB]

Mine have been a lag fest, especially when trying to view my HomeKit cameras. It’s gotten so bad I don’t even try anymore

[@solihinnnnn]

waiting for Apple Tv 4k 4th gen 😊

[@francisco024]

can I see cable tv at apple tv? need a subscription for to watch cable or apple tv offers it’s on one?

[@ZK-APA]

You need seperate subscription for everything

[@markIrSa]

if you are subscribed to a tv provider tan you can also open the app on the apple tv

[@heelbeavans01]

Apple TV 4K rules

[@justinlegend8800]

I just got sick of how awful and slow my TV was. Switching between apps, or even just scrolling between apps in the home screen was aggravating at times. Also I was super sick of getting ads, the Home Screen looks so much better without all the clutter of ads in-between apps.

[@Streamlined955]

I like to add my HomePods in other rooms so that I can still hear my shows when I walk around the house.

[@Massoudfaquiryan]

I love using FaceTime on my Apple TV 4K second generation

[@Max86421]

Sideloading third party application on Apple TV would be nice, just like on Google TV 📺

[@bradclooney69]

@@Max86421 come live in Europe

[@PikaPower131313]

I really want one, but i think waiting for gen 4 will be best especially since i want it exclusively for gaming. it might have the a17 chip in it :)

[@ZK-APA]

For gaming I guess the shield would make more sense (provided nvidia releases a new one)

[@DigitalBliss69]

Prob in Mid 2025

[@ZK-APA]

@@DigitalBliss69 For gaming its better to wait for the new shield then.

[@DigitalBliss69]

@@ZK-APA Who knows how long you’ll be waiting it’s been years and nvidia is making all their money in AI. Better to get what you need now and then upgrade later if you need to. I have an APTV 4K 1st gen and just finally upgraded to third gen. Way smoother and faster no retreats . If new Apple TV comes out mid 2025 I’ll wait and see what it offers this one with A15 Bionic will be great for streaming for the next decade

[@hockensameyaw4329]

Is selling for £149 for the 64g and £168 for the 128g in 🇬🇧

[@Pacopdf]

My current issue with the apple tv is that if I sign in with my apple id people will be able to view my photos. How do I handle this situation?

[@TheIsMarcel]

@@Pacopdf Turn off photo streaming from iCloud in the settings on the AppleTV

[@Pacopdf]

@@TheIsMarcelcan’t someone turn it back on?

[@chocskiambu]

Apple TV doesn't work in kenya! Why?

[@kumz14]

Shield all the way no audio pass thru on Apple TV

[@shijotg]

I brought it to play my Apple Music on my tv and music system. Otherwise I have a Sony Bravia 2023 tv and its google tv is super fast. Apple TV always have occasional audio dropouts. It sucks why Apple Music is not available in play store.

[@ZK-APA]

Which HDMI cable are you using? (if you have connected your audio via HDMI ARC). Because I was having similar issues, and changing HDMI cables sorted it out. (doesn't have to be some weird expensive one. I used the cheapest HDMI2.1 certified cable i found on amazon)

[@shijotg]

@@ZK-APAI’m using HDMI cable capable of upto 8k. Also I checked it with the Apple tv configuration check for compatibility. My TV is latest 2023 model Sony tv and sound bar is Sony HTA3000. The TV has Dolby atmos pass through. I can see that when I play Dolby atmos on my Apple TV. I connect the Apple TV to tv and the tvs EARC is connected to my sound bar. My sound bar has only one earc hdmi input. I find the Sony TVs built in google tv navigation as fast as Apple tv navigation. Only issue is Apple don’t allow music app on google tvs. Otherwise I feel the google tv navigation on my new Sony tv as much better.

[@anurathangd]

I bought it and returned...first it fix the color correction that's all. Remaining performance same with Android TV ...no picture quality improvement or sound quality improvement or upscaling

[@ZK-APA]

The apple TV doesn't improve video or sound quality. Its just more of an app optimized tool and features.

[@Jager32283]

eh i prefer using my third party streaming apps, literally hsve everything, like chsnging language and all thr other stuff

[@Paul-ng4jx]

I have two Apple TV 4K‘s put up in the box in my closet because yes, they’re awesome TVs but they don’t get third-party support that well well yeah they have third parties on there, but the third parties don’t upgrade their software. My Netflix is so choppy half the times the Episode list won’t even load. It’ll take a good minute before it loads. I prefer my Fire TV cube which I replaced it with and I don’t have no problems with any of the apps including Apple TV itself, which runs better on the Fire TV cube. Apple does not upgrade their software. You can have the awesome hardware all you want, but if you don’t support your software it is shit

[@SkyeDaMan]

You’ve got the old Apple TV in your vid thumbnail 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Isaiahunderwood]

it’s in the video to so…

[@DigitalBliss69]

He’s using the 2nd gen 4K APTV but most of the features are the same

[@chadflpo635]

A TV box changed your life????

[@Paul-ng4jx]

I personally have owned two Apple TVs. They are good for first party support but third-party apps like Amazon or Netflix there’s no good software support. I have so many problems with Netflix on my Apple TV seasons disappear. You might not even be able to load up an episode list it might take a good minute and my Internet connection is not the problem my five-year-old android TV could load all this stuff up better than Apple TV canand now I just got a hold of the third generation Amazon TV cube and bought the pro controller with it. I love it way better than Apple. I’ll stick with my Apple phones, but the Apple TV unless you’re not going to deal with downloading apps like Stremio or whatever then you’re good with Apple TV. If not, it sucks balls.

[@MoffieGirl]

Please do better on your thumbnails, please. If you’re going to use AI at least refine the prompt enough to make it not look like a blur.

[@Firefitty]

@@MoffieGirl his thumbnail is actually what attracted me to the video

[@Cyber_Freedom]

$129 and $149 god Apple must be smoking some good 💩. Onn 4k Pro Google TV $49.99. I'll pass on apple.
