Reasons Why You NEED an Apple TV 4K!

[@Clt.princee]

I didn’t think it was worth it at first because I have a Ps5, so everything (apps wise) I had, but I got the 2021 version on sale like 2 months ago, so I caved and I don’t regret it at all! Everything I need right on the Home Screen, being able to my my apple devices as a remote and even having Apple Music and the photos app is a game changer. Love my Apple TV 😂

[@yourshyness32]

Thanks, for your comment. I'm here to see if this would be good for my son. He has PS5 as well and he only use it for tv apps..smh. I may check into getting him this.

[@Vitallord]

I have a PS5 as well that streams all my media and my TV supports Share Play with Apple Music. What else can Apple TV do for me that I can’t right now?

[@Vitallord]

@@yourshyness32This device is essentially for people who don’t have smart TVs, or any other device to stream with. Apple TV will be practically useless as he can do about 99% of everything from his PS5.

[@KasePrince]

@@yourshyness32 I have a PS5 and apple TV. I always use my Apple TV for streaming. It's way more convenient and I've noticed a-lot of PS5 apps dont run 4K HDR, where as apple TV does. The streaming experience especially with the remote makes things 1000% times easier. I'll never use my PS5 to watch/stream for the foreseeable future!

[@paulgreen4553]

Doing all this via a PS5 is just a big big big waste of energy 😅. That's why I got an Apple TV in addition to my PS5

[@UncleSpellbinder]

Agree on all points. I came from a Roku Ultra. It's now in use for my bedroom TV. The Apple TV 4k is now my main streamer on the living room TV. Buttery smooth. And props for the choice of using light mode. I thought I was the only one. Seems all the reviews and tips videos here have dark mode enabled. Apple TV 4k looks awesome in light mode.

[@fryeguy115]

I just bought this. The speed, smoothness, and no lag is why I'm thinking of keeping it. I prefer the Chromecast with Google TV's UI and customizable layout though. Plus I have an android phone so setup and typing isn't nearly as easy. Siri voice typing helps, but still 2nd to Google Assistant. If it wasn't for lag and lack of storage, the Chromecast would be far ahead of Apple TV, Roku, and Fire TV.

[@greghull3189]

I tried Chromecast w/Google TV back in February. Really enjoyed the UI also, however, after about a month, the device started having freezing issues where rebooting was required. I was constantly closing apps and clearing cache so that wasn’t the issue. I’ve since returned to the newest ATV and it never freezes or buffers, never. If Chromecast w/Google TV can update their hardware that has more onboard storage and a better processor, only then will I consider purchasing that device again.

[@fryeguy115]

@@greghull3189 yea dude that's the main problem Google smh. I wish Google would just put better hardware with that great software. I'd pay $100 for it.

[@greghull3189]

[@darrylwoodbury]

I got the 128 GB version last Friday and I love it. If you have an iPhone, the setup is as simple as holding your phone next to the device. All your apps are automatically downloaded and you're ready to go. I had a few people over to watch the Giants game (Go Big Blue) over the weekend via KZbin TV and it worked flawlessly. I also watch Smile with my girlfriend last night and the picture was beautiful and crisp. Also, Smile is creepy as hell, but a good Horror movie. The best part in my opinion is that Apple will be supporting it for years to come and I won't be worrying if I'll get the latest tvOS version. I have no regrets with my purchase.

[@riptaiyo]

My only issue is that you can connect more earbuds or use your phone like Roku does

[@mamadouaziza2536]

Yes, Apple will support it for years to come but will the streaming services be supporting it? In December of 2020 nearly all the premium streamers abandon every Apple TV below the HD version.. Suddenly everything was gone except Netflix, Crackle and Apple's streamer. Pretty soon Netflix will be gone (its currently running an old ass version of Netflix).. I do agree that the 2022 Apple TV 4K is awesome.. I'm a bit surprised that Apple hasn't come out with a full TV yet.

[@jtjgrfan]

Apple abandoned every Apple TV before the HD (aka 4th gen) first because 3rd gen and older don’t run tvOS (they also have much less memory and compute).

[@cookie_monster3200]

I love the Apple TV. But what really annoys me is that there is no guideline from Apple to developers regarding the UI and usage of the remote. While I can scrub back and forth on Disney plus using the iPod like click wheel, I cannot do the same on Amazon Prime or vice versa. In some apps I can long press the forward button to fast forward continuously, on other apps I can’t. I wish that Apple would force developers to add all functions in every video player: iPod like fast forwarding, swiping on the touch layer and clicking the most right button on the wheel. In addition to that: one time clicking should just jump 10 seconds back and forth.

[@xcarlittosx]

Literally my biggest annoyance! I thought I wasn’t scrolling with my thumb correctly!!!

[@SoCalVipers]

Coming from a Roku and Shield TV, those are even worse at app uniformity. TiVo was the best at uniformity, but it was REALLY slow.. like 30 seconds to launch an app slow. The only reason the Apple TV isn't perfect for me is because I can't get lossless audio on plex. I'll use the apple TV for streaming, and the Shield TV for Plex. Overall, I love the Apple TV.

[@eddiec4536]

Really a lot to learn on this device. You have given great information to start with. Thank you.

[@emoechelon19xx]

I just got a pair of Apple TV 4Ks a few days ago and I absolutely love them!!!!

[@solson223]

I'm still using the first gen Apple TV 4K and it's awesome. One of my biggest peeves is lag when using these media sticks/boxes. I've had so many firesticks and boxes, ROKU, etc... and they all lag to some extent. The Apple boxes are the best. Pay the extra, you won't regret it.

[@stevec5465]

I get lag on my Apple TV 64gb. I only bought it because my cable tv app works with it. I don't game with it. I have PlayStation 4 and 5 for gaming. It is overpriced , but i save money on renting a cable tv box, so i consider it a wash at the end of the day.

[@Ricky2clean]

So question can your friend take your Apple Remote and open your photos?? Or there is a passcode?

[@lowstandar]

I absolutely love the speed of the Apple TV 4K. And its interfaces phenomenal. This is the only Apple product I have in my house so I really don't care about integration with anything else. The reason I ditched it however, is for some reason out of the blue and very randomly it would ask for my Apple ID password. It gave me the option to skip it for that moment but then it would immediately requested again. Sometimes it will request it a couple of times other times I'm skipping it 10 times in a row. Then it would leave me alone for a couple of hours or a couple of days and then pop up again wanting the password. Rince and repeat. Just became too frustrating having to always enter my Apple ID password.

[@giotorres9848]

as a long time firestick owner and now 1st time apple tv owner i can honestly say for just streaming movies and watching shows off the main apps like netflix,hulu etc apple tv is better and its alot faster and smoother than a firestick but if you wanna do more like browse the internet or download 3rd party apps like cinema hd etc off the internet onto your device then the firestick is better since you cant do that on apple tv with that being said i have both plugged into my tv

[@wildlifebybrianhoule]

How easy is it to send your photos to this new ATV to be used as a screensaver? The only way with the older one is to send the photos to the cloud which I don't do because I have 25K plus photos :). It used to be simple, but it seems complicated now (if you don't use the cloud).

[@f22blue]

Great vid, love how he just got the point. All these other KZbinrs never do that

[@SimplyPops]

I appreciate that!

[@cheapme1850]

When I decided to “cut the cord” about a year and a half ago, I started with Roku because of the cost. Roku is pretty good but the constant ads were starting to get to me, plus I’m all in with the Apple ecosystem. Since then I’ve gradually switched over to ATV, first the regular ones, then I upgraded to 4K, so now I rarely use Roku anymore - even on my Roku OS TVs. I just bought another older ATV 4K which are going cheap now that the new one is out because I still want the Ethernet connection and you can pick them up now cheaper than the new non-Ethernet version.

[@mamadouaziza2536]

Which Roku did you have?

[@cheapme1850]

@@mamadouaziza2536 Pretty much all of them except the top of line one. I have had the Express, the various sticks and I have two Roku TV's. All have served me well but I just really like the ATV better now, even through Roku is somewhat integrated with Apple products.

[@ermedic1986]

Great video … I’m surprised you didn’t hit on the gaming aspect .. some of those Apple Arcade games with the ps5 hit hardd

[@MichaelW.1980]

Fun fact: The smoothness and responsiveness of the Apple TV is not thanks to the A15 Bionic chip. I currently still use an Apple TV 4th Gen, which has a measly Apple A8 chip in it. And it still is just as smooth as the current Apple TV 4K 3rd gen with its A15 Bionic. That being said, the loading times will probably be a tad longer. But even if they are, it surely won’t be a big difference, unless you’re playing games.

[@jbarres80]

Agree I have 1080p and a 4k and both work great

[@ziggerwebdesign1704]

It's very cool, but that touchpad is crap! I turned it off straightaway. And I have never got the calibration working either...

[@michaelhall9146]

I love my first gen Apple TV 4K, but I’m gonna upgrade it next year to a 2022 Apple TV 4K because sometimes apps will lag and freeze. Also, I want the extra storage.

[@carlcameron3524]

I just upgraded from the 2017 version, it’s pretty much the same experience. Apple did a great job of keeping the older version fresh. The thing I noticed is when watching video games on KZbin at 4k 60fps. The older version would only output at 1440p. The new Apple TV 4K will output at 4K 60.

[@FRCB]

Can we connect more than one pair of AirPods at once when watching a movie or show?

[@theofficialjaycool]

That's good I know Apple makes good products for the customers. But I am in the Google ecosystem And I enjoy being in the Google ecosystem as well. For me I prefer Chromecast with Google TV device 4K version. I love the Google TV UI. And looks like you are and the apple ecosystem. I saw a couple of your videos is all about Apple. But also in my opinion The best two streaming devices UI are Google TV and Apple TV. I definitely enjoy and appreciate the video.

major downside....HDMI-CEC only for TV power and a remote that disconnects often.

I have a 2019 65 4K Sony OLED TV, it runs android tv and the apps work fine but they are very slow to respond and the remote is pretty awful hence not the best user experience. Thinking of the apple tv for its fast performance, ability to airplay and screen share to the TV which i can't currently do with apple devices as well as the ability to colour calibrate the display.

Is this worth it if you already have a smart TV? Or is it only good for TVs that aren’t smart ?

i would say it's worth it even if you don't have one cause then you could further utilize some features. for example, you can screen mirror any device on a smart tv, but if you dont have a smart tv (and you own an ios device), then you could screen mirror using the apple tv.

[@ryz.n6383]

bro went straight to the topic, epic

[@chadolof]

what’s the difference between with the ethernet and without?? I’m going to be getting one for the holidays

[@davidbenning10]

TL;DR: Ethernet cable signal transmission is more reliable than Wi-Fi, so no dropouts in sound or constant video buffering. Otherwise, no noticeable difference in video or sound quality. Long version: If your home Wi-Fi is pretty fast and reliable, then you probably won’t notice any difference in video or sound quality. In my home, I use Ethernet cable because it is consistently reliable almost every time. When I use Wi-Fi the sound cuts off every several minutes which is super annoying. Occasionally, Wi-Fi speed for some reason drops from over 100 mpbs to less than 20 mbps. Ethernet is almost always at a consistent speed of at least 90 mbps. If you have Gigabit Ethernet capability then this’ll be way faster for you.

[@davidbenning10]

P.S. if your streaming device is too far from Wi-Fi source and has a weak signal, that’s another situation in which Ethernet can help you. You can have your streaming device as far as possible in your home, yet Ethernet transmission signal strength will still be great.

[@Mr.FA7]
