- The Apple TV has been around for a while and the question has come up, Should you buy an Apple TV in the year 2024? With all of the smart TVs and the other streaming boxes like the Fire TV, Google Chrome Cast, and Roku TV, it can be hard to figure out which one we should buy. In this video, I go over the good bad, and the ugly of the Apple TV.

I didn't see the video but the answer is yes A15 bionic in a TV box is overkill but I plan on keeping it for 5 more years so I'm happy with it
I agree with you! I think that the A15 is overkill but its great to know that it will last a long time and will continue to get updates.
I would have liked to hear your thoughts regarding the video and audio quality when using the Apple TV. I currently use a Roku Ultra that does a pretty good job but wondering whether the Apple device would be an upgrade. Thanks for doing the review.
Thank you for the info 👍🏼👊🏼🏴🇬🇧
No problem!
keep up the food work, really enjoyed this video
Thank you and will do!
I have Apple TV 4K, I have tried other streaming devices in similar price range. It’s still the best. Biggest thing for me is more privacy and almost no ads
I think that the no ads is the best.
I have a 55” LG Smart TV and I don’t like the streaming interface. That is why I am considering the Apple TV 4 K. I have an Amazon Fire Stick on one TV and two Google Chromecasts on my other two TVs. If I buy one I want wait and see if Apple will release a new one this year. Question: If you use a pair of Home Pods will they work in place of a sound bar when not using Apple TV? Thanks.
I have 4 Apple TV+ 4K and love them. !! You don't need any other Apple devices to absolutely love this streaming device.
What the name of song used for the review? Awesome review
Thank you! heres the link to the song that I used in the video. It's on epidemic sound - www.epidemicsound.com/track/avHzspViQs/
I recently made the switch from firetv to Apple TV. I’m very pleased with the Apple TV experience. It’s expensive but you get what you pay for. The integration between iPhone, Apple Watch and MacBook is nice too.
👍
And dont forget to use the airpods max while watching a movie. Its crazy good.
The profiles are so for like children parental controls & also remembers what you last watched.... Have you double clicked the screen button/Tv to bring up Tabs/each program...I also use the TV button to turn on the ATv
That is a good point that I didn't think about for the different profiles. I do use the tv button to go from app to app. I think that is one of the only things that I use it for lol.
There's talk of an Apple TV refresh in 2024, I'd wait.
I was just looking into that. I agree
I've been holding off from getting a second apple tv 4k for this reason.
@@dannyumana143
Me too. Hahaha!
Had a Shield Pro but it’s not as smooth as the Apple TV 4K. I gave it to my son and patiently awaiting the next Apple TV upgrade. What the Shield Pro has over the Apple TV is support for almost all sound codecs. The only one it probably doesn’t support is OPUS but I’m not sure. It definitely doesn’t support the AV1 video codec (Apple TV ✅).
I hope Apple TV will support them too in the near future.
you can actually change what the TV button does on the remote. if you go to settings and then remote and devices and go to TV button you can change it to take you back to the home screen and not the Apple TV app.
Thank You! I saw that I could do that after I uploaded the video, Hahahaha
Yep 😂
hey man u can actually customize the home button so it doesn't take u to tv app but the home page, in the settings, I find this to be way less annoying and turn off the touch pad, it drives me nuts
Thanks for the tip. I had no idea that I could do that hahah.
After around a year of procrastination, I just got a 4K ethernet one.
That means they'll announce one in June/July's WWDC then!
But for now, very happy with it. Very fast and slick. Easy to setup. You didn't mention that the Apple 4K really does improve streaming picture quality. Also really nice to have a way to play Apple Music directly without needing to use the iPhone.
Love the shirt
Thank you!
Love your SX-70!
Thank you!
I was on the fence about buying the AppleTV 4k w/ethernet. I ended up buying it because I was fed up with Amazon's firestick being so slow. Once you get through the settings, setting up the home screen, setting up users (myself only), logging into my streaming services, everything was just as you expect an Apple product to be. I do love being able to connect my AirPods Pro!
I bought the Apple TV 4k about 3 weeks ago and couldn't get past the two factor authentication process. After three days of trying to log in with no success I took it back and got the Nvidia Shield pro. I've been using the Roku ultra for years and never had any issues with it but wanted to try something different, especially since I use the apple TV and the apple music apps anyway. The worst part is that I believe that I'd love the Apple TV 4k if I just could have gotten past the two factor authentication.
One thing i have samaung qled using apple tv with samsung will enable spatial audio in netflix when playing app through apple tv not from my samsung qled
I have heard of that.
@@thebenburns coz from my samsung qled netflix is not showing spatial audio and its only showing 5.1 even when i connect my Airpods pro 2 so if buy apple tv the issue can resolved ?
I believe special audio will work if you get an Apple TV because you would be connecting to the Apple TV and not the TV itself.
New subscriber here, let’s get you fully into that walled garden 😅
Welcome aboard!
I am using one for last 5 years have the old 4k with A10 chip, still working smooth, no problem at all and still gets updates, you can buy the old version and save money or you can wait for a new one they are rumoured to launch this year
I’m probably going to get the new one when it comes out and due a review on that one too
@@thebenburns yes will wait, as mine I feel is a bit old I think. Thank you.
Background music is so loud that it sounds like you're doing a spoken word song rather than a video with background music.
Thank you for the feed back I'll try to work on that.
Already have mine
😁
Have just bought a old apple tv 4k for £40 in the uk. Like the fact the interface is simple and straight forward to use. Like thy fact thay the interface is smooth.
Found the quality in the shows tonbe better than the amazon firestick and the fact that the device changes the frame rate.
For a device to me which offers the same sort of features a nividia shield am impressed.
Am not a apple fan but do lime the apple tv 4k.
That's a really good price! I would like to try the Nvidia shield sometime.
I have Apple TV, I haven’t used it for the last two years since the smart TV has all the apps therefore I don’t need to switch between devices
I got it just now, can i use it even if i dont have an iphone of ipad. I use Android.
Yes you can you just have to create an Apple ID and it should work great!
@@thebenburns tq.
Best money i ever invest. Runs fast and smooth. No smart TV can Do that. I Do have sony and Samsung but Apple tv is the Best TV Operation system for me
wow you look GOOD !!!
Yes..I bought it one month back 😅
It's a great choice
Had a nice plasma for several years, later gave it to my realtor and her husband and they love it. I used the Fire Stick for a while, and without any 1:1 advice, bought my first Apple TV!!!. When they loaded the Plasma into their (Mercedes SUV) the installer arrived and mounted my new Samsung 55" OLED on the wall. Within several minutes I was almost overwhelmed with the annoying software, useless ads, and other gimmicks. I went to bed, got up mid-morning and plugged my ethernet into the Apple TV. KABLAM- what a relief. I should have known, as I am a dedicated Apple user, and have (given to me at no cost) a Mac Classic II. It's fun. Looking forward to the next A TV release. At that time, I'm going to get an M1 or M2 MacBook Pro. Have a 2015 MBP, maxed out Retina, that is running like it was brand new. All that aside, your RUclips video was well done and informative.
Thank you for sharing and the nice words about the video! Right now I have a 2016 MBP that is so slow - I'm looking at getting the new M4 MBP when it gets announced.
I have absolutely no Apple products. HP PC and Samsung phone. How will Apple TV work for me?
Me too just have apple TV nothing else, it works ok not necessary to have anything else of apple
As long as you create an Apple ID you can use the Apple TV. You don’t necessarily need another Apple products to have it work for you.
@@thebenburns Thank you for the reply. But if I understand correctly that having Apple devices enhances the experience. Wouldn't I miss out on that? If not why even mention it?
@@RichMillerApple will suck you in. Products that are more expensive than they need to be. Good, but more expensive. As long as you are happy with Apple hand in your wallet. Only use apple tv 4k 64gb. It still stutters every now and then. Not a great upgrade over a Roku 4k.
If they make infuse free ,I’m the happiest person..or a way to play my remux files
I agree
Is that the same as mkv files? If so I use VLC
Muy bien , síguele así y pronto monetizarás ,
¡Gracias!
Love the Apple TV
Me too
I am looking at buying one even though I'm NOT in the Apple ecosystem. Why? Simply because I want to move away from Sky TV and there is an app on Apple tv called 'TV Launcher' which is exclusive to Apple products and curates all your live TV into one programme guide. When you select a certain programme it automatically launches the appropriate app and plays the selected content. In other words tv over ip. And it is so fast you barely notice the app launching in the background. There is nothing else in the market that does this and the app is very feature rich. I'll wait for the new version of Apple tv though, which will probably drop next month. Great video by the way!
That is really interesting and I didn’t know about that. Currently I’m using RUclips TV mostly for sports. But it’s interesting to see the other ways that people can watch content.
I have the Apple TV with ethernet and it is excellent but for one thing.
Setting it up without an iphone or ipad is a labour of love.
I got there as there is no way i was going to buy an iphone just to setup the TV box.
It is way better than Amazons devices that like to spy on you, and if you have an older
TV that still gives a good picture, buy one, the difference is like night and day in the way
it operates.
I want a new Apple TV 4K in my bedroom. I had an old Apple TV. This’ll be my first tv in my bedroom
Update to 17.5.1 just bricked my Apple TV 4K. Fortunately still within the return period. Took it back and just using the apps on my TV itself for now. Had quite a few glitches with the Apple TV 4K, worked them out eventually and now it just died. Apple support wasn’t able to help resolve the problem either. RIP Apple 4K 😢
That’s really interesting. I wonder if there was an issue mechanically within the box itself that made it do that. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with it.
Not sure what the reason but for now went back to the Roku Ultra I had before. May switch again in the future. Thanks for the reply.
Will Apple release a new Apple TV 4K in 2024 ?
I think that they will release a new one this year. Being that the most recent Apple TV that we have was released in 2022. To me, it would make sense to do so.
I love my Apple TV so much I have 5 of them around my house including one I use for my home cinema people ask where my blu-ray collection is for it and I have not bought one for years now I just get them from iTunes because they are half the price of 4k blu-rays plus they are released on to iTunes before into the shops plus it’s get better because you can also buy movies on iTunes that are still in the cinema now for about the same price as it would cost you to see the movie in imax but the only difference is I get to keep it unlike at the cinema
Yes you should. Much faster and better than the competition. Roku is also a very good option. Both fast and provide constant updates. The Apple TV looks more premium. If you are paying for your content Apple is the no brainer especially if you have a iPhone or other Apple products
Agree 100%
II'm getting free TV with my Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K 🤗🎉
Our Roku tv lasted 2 years so that’s something. That’s why we got a lg smart tv. So it’s not just me thar roku tv die quickly
I am a non Apple user and do not own any apple devices. I would like to subscribe to Apple TV+ but they make it near impossible unless you are already locked into the apple ecosystem. So if they are going to be like this on a simple subscription service then there is no way in heck that I would buy an Apple TV device and risk having the same problems.
Short answer. No. Long answer. No.
Apple a monopoly... 💯
$60 for a remote “it’s not too bad when it comes to Apple devices”. This explains why you are a fanboy lol
😂😂😂
I disagree. I think the remote sucks. I’ve had an Apple TV for years the actual TV software is great and it puts any smart TV to shame but the remote They need to work on that the remote they had a few years back was better they made it worse. They also need to fix the karaoke feature it’s not well thought out and it’s basically useless. If you like karaoke and I live in the Philippines and karaoke is a thing.
I agree with you I think that the old remote was better. I didn't know that karaoke was such a big thing in the Philippines that is so cool!
NO
YES
🧢
😂
That “what did he say” meme was bad I almost closed the video lol, I’d rather you leave that kind of stuff out
Thanks for the tip - I was trying something new to see what people would say.
Do not buy it..there is coming a new and faster one in June 2024
That is true. I’m excited to see the improvements that were made in the next model.
@@thebenburns me too because i have apple tv gen2 and it’s really getting old and no updates anymore and i have a new sonos surround set so definitely going to buy the new apple tv 4k
@@ramonholland1165 I’ve been looking into getting some Sonos speakers. Do you have any recommendations for which ones I should be looking at?
But be mindful that the Sonos don’t support Bluetooth hookup. But the speaker looks and sounds good 👍🏾 from what I seen from reviews
@@Eshabee sonos era 300 are bluetooth speakers but only if you buy one in your living room.If you buy 2 then only works with a arc or beam and they become surround speakers.I have tested as stereo set with bluetooth on my tv but its not working good and not made for it
Everything apple sucks now
Jealous much. Anyone that uses streaming boxes knows the atv is the best out right now.
lol, sounds like a bitter android user.
this person is a chinese donut😂😂😂
