Dude, we miss you. NOBODY create videos with this quality, not even now. I felt in love with Apple devices years ago and all because of your high quality and full of information videos. Hope you’re ok and come back again one day.
I have to say: i have watched a whole lot of tech reviews on youtube. this one was outstanding. you made my decision for my christmas wish detroitborg. thank you for the ultimate review and MERRY CHRISTMAS from sweden!

Question: Can I use my Apple device for typing on the Apple TV through Airplay? I have read that text input is horrible and Siri doesn't work on apps such as Netflix. Thanks!
yes on ios 11 there’s a widget called apple tv and when you use your phone on a search bar a keyboard will appear on your phone so when you type on your phone it’ll go to your apple tv no need to use airplay for that
+Daniel B. AirPlay doesn't support 4K so everything is down-sampled. If you are mirroring your Mac's display with is greater than 1080p, it will actually change the resolution.
+Nyasha Mushambi i agree it's much for a piece that costs 0.50$ to make, but then again its only 12$ so... And i didn't really once felt ripped of by apple, you not only pay for the device but for their impecable service. But then again poor people wouldn't know...
From the last 5years I have this device and it’s still running peacefully.. Netflix does not work. But I basically use it for Apple Music and the interface
Awesome video as always! You just convinced me to get an Apple TV. However, is RUclips Red compatible with the tvOS version of RUclips? And is there an Amazon Video app in the App Store for tvOS? Thanks!
+ApplaudMeItsJay A) RUclips Red should come to the Apple TV in the coming months B) That's up to Amazon. So far they've said nothing, going so far as to remove the Apple TV from Amazon.
This specific Apple TV is a no brainer for me. I have it on my living room (although mine has the newer Siri Remote), it still receives updates and form the looks of it, it'll still last quite a bit of time. No need for upgrading to the 4K model just yet
I've had all of the apple tv's over the years and I just bought the new 4th gen. I have to say it is amazing. I love the apps, using Siri and that the remote is rechargeable. I should have bought it sooner. Well done apple!!!
iTunes or Safari 9.0 is limited to a few video formats mp4 & m4v (H.264) to steam videos to AppleTV 2015 onto TVs. No supports for many other videos MKV, H265, and more. A single external USB hard drive up to 4TB (exFAT for some Sony TV. NTFS for Samsung and LG) supports many video formats to play onto HDTV & 4K TV which I've tried with Samsung, Sony, LG.
Siri doesn't work in my country but I still bought it for my digital movie collection. but but but....just hope Apple doesn't goes bankrupt otherwise my whole movie collection goes wipe out. heh
Man.....$149.... I paid $138 for two 3rd Gen Apple TVs. I don't see the benefits of this version. The remote is made of crystal (i have drop my current remote a few times and is ok, not sure what will happen with the crystal version.... well, we know). Giving that controller to a kid is going to be catastrophic. I'm happy with my 3rd Gen Apple TV. Thanks for the review!
+Nelson Martinez I don't know what kids do you have. Also the benfits you get are apps on apple TV and that's what makes 4th gen better, and Apple Music from apple tv, not airplay. IT's much faster, and siri is great same as remote.
I'm finding out about apple tv for the first time just recently and I think it's incredibly amazing, the only thing I've used on my tv was my xbox but now that I've found this I'm gonna buy it within the next few months and the fact that you can listen to the audio through bluetooth headphones and listen to my music is what had me sold cause this is new technology to me, I feel like an old guy who is experiencing modern technology for the first time Edit: Also this is the 1000th comment on this video, aside from that this is a really good review, you have me sold. Not sure if you work for apple, but if you do, you're doing the right thing
@@Andrew982_ they expect most people to buy the 4k version so they don’t have much of a reason to upgrade this one because it works fine for what it is
I'm really surprised you didn't mention how awfully painful text entry is for setting up account info for apps like RUclips, Netflix and Hulu. A HUGE hunt-and-peck typing pain. Also a bluetooth keyboard which would make it much easier CANNOT currently be added and Apple's Remote app is a no-go as well. Since I mostly stream and don't have interest for gaming on this platform, I happily returned mine and am sticking with the third-gen Apple TV instead. This feels like a clunky, unfinished product and the Siri remote isn't all that great, is VERY fragile and will cost $80 to replace. For Harmony universal remote users, I was able to use my Harmony Hub and remote with this new model. If I were offering buying advice, I'd say don't buy, or at least wait until keyboards can be added and until apps become more useful. Right now, apps outside the Apple TV traditional ones (streaming services) are kind of corny and certainly not worth such a high price.
+Joe Pickering I typically use the Remote App for text input when I can which still needs to be updated for the ATV4. I typically avoid talking about features that will be updated through software since it causes confusion for viewers watching this months or years later.
+Low Profile Is that to say ,you can obtain the same by selecting the impressive remote only and declining the box ?after all,the remote is really good regardless of some drawback.
Wireless Mini Keyboard iPazzPort Well, you made a good a point. I now have a Roku 3 along with a refurbished Apple TV 3rd generation and to be honest i'm quite fond of my Roku 3 remote. Mainly because I can plug in the earbuds and listen to what i'm watching without having my tv blaring and the voice control feature is nice too. I'm pretty sure the new Apple TV remote is nice too. As of now I use my Roku 3 and Amazon Firestick more than I do my Apple TV....But the Roku 3 is the one that I use the most before all of them.
One cool feature is that this generation supports 'HDMI control' standard which allows this box to control volume on the reciever or trigger power on/off for the whole tv-reviever setup
+Ben Jowett Apple is from the US so of course it'll be like that. Plus, the majority of English speakers are from the US. It doesn't matter where the language originated from.
***** English isn't the official language in India, and it'd be strange that Apple would make it English for India and English (US). Also, in the UK it's probably English and English (US). A lot of websites and services list English for the US and English (UK).
Nics Nattapol yeah, Apple locks in users with features like Airplay and HomeKit that you can't get on other devices while skipping popular and practical features like 4K and HDR content. Bastards...
so will this apple tv need a simple software update to support 4k? or will there have to be a whole new physical apple tv release that will support 4k?
barookqtr123 They'll probably create some weird proprietary kind. 5.8k Then they will release special "Apple certified" movies in itunes that "look best." So if you try to watch 4k Netflix videos it will look weird and require upscaling. Or a special Netflix app for their tv.
Being this would be a shared device in the lounge room does it incorporate "Family Sharing" to recognise all of my family logged in to iCloud & using multiple devices?
So...if you hook the HDMI from the AppleTV into your TV, how do you get the surround sound signal to a receiver?? My TV has optical out but that only transmits stereo.
Yeah i got mine yesterday, bout time caught up with the other set top boxes i wish the iCloud photos supported iCloud photo library. Not sure why it doesn't
I was playing with this at the Apple Store. I was mainly interested in the App Store and nothing else. What bothered me the most was that all the apps/games were just blown up phone apps on a TV. There wasn't much impressive about them. The games don't work well with the new touchpad remote. I find using the remote to be difficult and not very accurate. Controlling the interface with the remote is annoying. inputting text is slow and cumbersome. since i already own an xbox 360, I don't see how it advances TV in anyway compared to that 10 yr old console. it doesn't do anything better or less than comparable devices like Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, etc.

+Tom Williams not mainstream enough for 4K to be important plus a lot of internet providers are not ready to give out generous amounts of data

Yeh Apple needs to pay this man. He just sold me on Apple tv, i was skeptical for a while but know I'm sold. Great review dude!
Great video, what i don't understand is why they removed the optical out. It can't be that expensive.
so will this apple tv need a simple software update to support 4k? or will there have to be a whole new physical apple tv release that will support 4k?
The gpu probably couldn't handle 4k. it struggled to play a 720p game at usable frames upscale to 1080p
+Zestypanda its sad considering amazon dropped a 4k box with voice and expandable storage
apple will probably release a 4K TV after 4 years 😂
barookqtr123
They'll probably create some weird proprietary kind. 5.8k Then they will release special "Apple certified" movies in itunes that "look best." So if you try to watch 4k Netflix videos it will look weird and require upscaling. Or a special Netflix app for their tv.
So is this recommended to get over the 3rd gen granted the higher price?
The 64G Apple TV is 262 CAD in Canada. And in Alberta the tax is 5% in NS AND BC is 15%. There's also a ten dollars environmental fee in Alberta.
Can you run AT&T U-verse or any cable provider through the Apple TV?
Being this would be a shared device in the lounge room does it incorporate "Family Sharing" to recognise all of my family logged in to iCloud & using multiple devices?
if I were to connect this to an HDMI hub would I have any problems getting audio from it
So...if you hook the HDMI from the AppleTV into your TV, how do you get the surround sound signal to a receiver?? My TV has optical out but that only transmits stereo.
I wanted to ask if you can stream RUclips videos from your android phone to an Apple TV just like in goggle cast devises.
I assume that both RUclips and Netflix playback are 1080p and not 4K?
Hi, is the new tvOS coming for Apple tv 3rd gen ?
Will you get the Apple TV Controller?
Wow Apple really hit home with me on this one. This device is absolutely beautiful in every way.
Quick question: Can you download movies I have bought from iTunes onto the new apple tv?
Yeah i got mine yesterday, bout time caught up with the other set top boxes i wish the iCloud photos supported iCloud photo library. Not sure why it doesn't
fresh out of the box, my remoter doesn't work... Any trouble shooting ideas???
does it have to be charged first??
Is the 32GB enough space? or is the 64GB worth the extra money?
Can you buy the remote? I've lost mine
Awesome review mate. Just a new noob question. Can I hook Apple TV to a monitor or a TV necessary ? Thanks !
You should be able to connect to a monitor, as long as it has HDMI.
Mike nice video as always. Do you think this is the Apple TV equivalent of the iPad 3? It gets the App Store and Siri, but got fatter!
I was playing with this at the Apple Store. I was mainly interested in the App Store and nothing else. What bothered me the most was that all the apps/games were just blown up phone apps on a TV. There wasn't much impressive about them. The games don't work well with the new touchpad remote. I find using the remote to be difficult and not very accurate. Controlling the interface with the remote is annoying. inputting text is slow and cumbersome. since i already own an xbox 360, I don't see how it advances TV in anyway compared to that 10 yr old console. it doesn't do anything better or less than comparable devices like Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, etc.
Can add the ip camera or some like that to the apple tv?
