What if I already have one the 2020 model. and I just want a second one for another TV in the house? would it be better to just get the 2021 model or the 2022 model
I’ve got the Apple TV 4K 2021 that I bought in July 2022. I’m absolutely in love with this product. Best investment I’ve made in terms of my viewing experience. Easy connect to AirPods - handy to use whilst watching a movie/programme late at night. Prevents disturbing other people I live with. Picture quality is fantastic to watch on my 4K sony tv. I’ve watched a few reviews on the 2022 model & I can’t see a big enough difference to warrant an upgrade & paying the asking price. To me there’s barely any difference. I think I’ll leave it for a while to upgrade my Apple tv & + I really haven’t had mine long enough to trade it it in for the newer product not the market.
I noticed that the cheaper new AppleTV does not have Thread Network Support and the expensive one does. Does that mean the cheaper one does or does not act as a Smart Home Hub for HomeKit? And does the older AppleTV still have the Smart Home Hub capabilities? Not sure if the older one has any Thread capabilities
How do apps run? I’m using a first gen Apple TV 4K and some apps occasionally lag and freeze. I don’t care about gaming on it since I have gaming consoles. Also, I love the Ted Lasso clip. I can’t wait until season 3 premiers.
Brian, I realized after watching this review that my current AppleTV is a 2017 (1st Gen 4K) and I decided to upgrade today! Keep these great videos coming!
I have last year’s and a much older Apple TV and I honestly can’t tell the difference. It streams everything I need it to and that’s what I really just need it to do.
Turns out the QMS-VRR setting only stops the black screen switch when it comes to frame rate switching. If you have sdr set all the time but have match dynamic range enabled you’ll still get a black screen briefly (although it’ll likely be quicker at switching due to not having to do the frame rate sorting AS WELL AS dynamic range).
Last year's ATV 4k broke my iTunes Library and won't load my Library in the ATV App which will be a MAJOR problem when they eventually get rid of the Movies/TV apps. Issue still exist on the new ATV which makes it useless for me. I've never played a game on the ATV, I have consoles for that. Picture Processing on streams is a LOT better on the new one, it's clearer, less posterization and fixed the old black crush issue. It's now on par with the Nvidia Shield pro. If that's something you notice, it may be worth an upgrade. But for me since it still won't load my iTunes Library it's not worthwhile.
I’d agree with this, my 3rd gen 4K would be going back at least in my case loading times for movies/games and app switching is less than 1sec off each other in a very stopwatch non scientific testing. Really thought we get one that’s built into a sound bar.
I'm surprised they updated again after 1 year and it's somewhat of a minor update, I remember when 5 years would go by without an update to an Apple TV or even an iMac or Mac Pro.
I need your advice: I want to stream movies from my OneDrive, using Infuse. Will the performance be different while streaming using the 2021 model vs. 2022 model? Is the storage relevant for streaming?
I just bought my first apple tv (2022 with ethernet), since my mom (who has Alzheimer’s and dementia) watches tv a lot and so does babe i thought of getting one so they could enjoy. I always wondered how it would be like to have an apple tv. I was so lucky to find a great deal, as the other’s sellers prices were too high. Thank you God for all your blessings ❤️
Wow, I guess I am behind. I still have the 1st Gen AppleTV 4K the only thing I did was get the newer remote in 2021 because the touch one always aggravated me. So would I see a difference between the 1st Gen AppleTV 4K and this one? I haven't had any performance issues but I only use it to watch streaming services and TV.
I have last year’s Apple TV 4K. I think I prefer the heavier weight of that older unit. With cables going into it, it’s more planted with the extra weight. I hope that new one is not approaching toss able Roku territory.
@@charliesmash I do. I use my Apple TV to do presentations wirelessly. It's a great hub to allow multiple people to do power point presentations from their own device.
@@SuperSnakePlissken There is very little difference in performance for non-gamers. Plus, the 2021 version remote uses the Lightning connection. Most people probably have a drawer full of Lightning cables. I will not be upgrading for several years.
Nice to finally get a Device that supports QMS...but I wonder if this will really require a new TV? My 2020 Denon AVR supposedly supports QMS and I sort of expected my 2020 TV to have it on Board as well...🤔
its finally time to put a mac mini in this apple tv housing. as absolutely entry mac with a lightly clocked down m1 -: 2x usb c 1x usb A, hdmi. for an price about 350 $ - if it fits in a 11 inch ipad it fits here, too
Not gonna lie i preferred the look of the 2021 model. Just its build. The new one reminds me of the first apple tv. Just prefer the weight no breathing vents either i hope that isnt the issue.
Still rocking my Apple TV 4 HD. Use it on my Sony Oled and have to say that the image from the Apple TV HD is better than internal 4K image of Netflix, Disney etc. How????
Hey Brian - thanks for the review. Question regarding the thread: My currently Apple TV (2018 I believe) is connected to two HomePod Minis through my apartment wifi, which is a captive network (has a secondary login). Because of the network, I've had plenty of problems keeping the TV connected to the HomePods. Not too familiar with Thread, so I'm wondering if Thread will help with this issue since it sounds like it doesn't use wifi to connect the two?
Can someone explain to me why this black bar thing is occurring when it never used to? Mine not only goes black but skips a good portion of the video after an Ad on yourtube, I then need to rewind after every add. I can stop this by turning match frame rate off but then need to turn it back on when I go to netflix. Would having a new TV fix this? A new Apple TV? If this strictly an Apple TV issue?
It’s not an issue technically because your tv or Apple TV isn’t broken. It’s just switching between different display types( hdr, Dolby vision) both are essentially the same thing. What you get depends on what tv you have. Some TVs are capable of both.
I own a first generation 4K , Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos compatible, so if you have a good TV and quality high speed cables you can enjoy it , what else ?
I’m an Apple Arcade user and the added storage is great and I hope it will lead to a killer app on tvOS. That being said I’ll only pick this up after one of my 4K Apple TV’s brick or I get another TV in the house. If I were due for an upgrade I’d pick this up.
I hope the QMS VRR also fixes that black screen that happens when I have the Match Frame Rate feature on. On my Sony OLED it’ll have a black screen for several long seconds when switching to different apps with different frame rates.
It should do, but the TV hardware has to support it too, and we’re likely to only start seeing that in 2023 models (starting with LG. Sony might not be till 2024 even)
It's a bit more involved than that. No TV supports QMS yet, as it is a HDMI 2.1 feature that not even LG have implemented yet. HDMI 2.1's QMS is a derivate of VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) but not the same. Here is the HDMI organization's description: "Quick Media Switching for movies and video uses the HDMI VRR mechanism to eliminate the blackout period when an HDMI Source device switches its video mode. As long as the resolution remains the same and only the frame rate changes, QMS will instantly switch between frame rates". Paired with the Match Frame Rate function, QMS will allow Apple TV 4K to seamlessly match frame rates for output in 23.976Hz, 24.00Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz etc. without any black screens (so-called HDMI bonk) or picture interruptions on the TV.
Thanks! BTW When you say apple tv is great with Samsung tv, you mean Samsung tv without the smart interface. Because Samsung smart tv already has the HDR10 support within it, am i right?
I’ve got a higher end Samsung TV. I’m going for this upgrade. My current 2021 4K Apple TV will go up to wife’s sewing room replacing an older Apple HD TV. Everybody wins! 😊
I checked it and the feature has been added: „The tvOS 16 update adds HDR10+ support to all compatible Apple TV streaming boxes, including Apple TV HD, Apple TV 4K, and the new-generation Apple TV 4K. The new firmware allows you to stream HDR content on your Samsung TV.“
Apple TV has great image and app startup, however the sound sucks. Have to crank at least 10db on my HT and doesn’t sound as good as the XBox or the TV modes. I would be surprised if Apple finally fixed it.
I would swear the processing is a lot better on the 2022 version. I keep comparing it, just not convinced it’s worth the money, but it is better. Everything else is the same including the device “breaking” bug where the ATV app won’t load my large itunes library. When is Apple going to fix this crap? I can only view my library using the TV And Movies app. At some point Apple is going to get rid of those Apps. And the ATV App on other devices doesn’t include the iTunes extras
I just got mine a few minutes ago. I had one that was 2 generations ago but gave it to a friend. Was hoping a new version would come out in the Fall. Setup is super easy when you use your iPhone.
Funny thing is I was wondering why my new Apple TV 4K was taking so long to get here. I had no idea there was a new one. My old one is on,u a few months old 😒
Where did you get 1/3 smaller packaging at?. Lol 😂. It's actually the exact same amount of packaging, the new model box is just half as wide but twice as thick as the 2021 model.
I got 2021 version few weeks ago. I still have an option to return it and get 2022 version by adding $20 for lower end model or $40 for higher end. Not sure if I should do it or just keep 2021 version. What do you guys think?
@@markonovakovic9741 Bro don't listen to them smh it will not be thrown away, it'll just be sold as an open box item. Return it and get the new model, you'll have the best performance and future proof for a few years longer than the 2021 version
the games you play on your phone or iPad can also be played on the Apple TV on a much larger screen and also you can use your PS5 or xbox one s controller with the Apple TV. Since you own the games already you might as well try them out on a full size screen with a game console controller and you have Apple Arcade you have access to that library. (personally Apple Arcade isn't worth paying for but there are ways to get it for free).
Thoughts from Apple: we have a known problem with black screens on current gen hardware… let’s call the fix a new feature and everyone buy a new Apple TV and a brand new TV to solve the issue! 😮
Год назад+2
I honestly think I will buy the Apple TV 2021 instead of the 2022 version. I don’t see any reason to get the last model when the 2021 looks absolutely fine!
Just picked up the 2022 128 GB and my TV looks like glass unreal compared to the older vision not sure why, but all the settings say one thing I use Dolby vision LG TV and it is great.
What I can’t understand is WHY didn’t Apple add continuity camera support for Apple TV and add a FaceTime app so we could use it like a big ass FaceTime device with PiP and SharePlay? We have family across the globe and this would be an awesome feature to be able to FaceTime on the living room tv! I think that the bits already are in place with the hardware already in. Apple silicon, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. So I guess it’s just a software update to TVOS at this point. Just do it! I say! Anyone with me?
@@Celisar1 There are some key differences between the original Apple 4K TV and this new version; HDR10+ (key if you have a Samsung TV), extra memory, Gigabit ethernet and the fact that the 2017 version is laggy and the remote sucks. These alone are good reasons to upgrade to this new version.
@@Celisar1 There’s a huge difference from the OG Apple TV 4K I have now. Also, stop being so self righteous and judgmental. Get off your high horse. You should be more worried about WWIII and nuclear war breaking out which would totally destroy the environment than me getting an Apple TV.
I am f mad that they just came out with a new Apple TV 4K. I just bought the 2021 Apple TV 4K this year. And I didn’t even open it yet. I hope this one is not much better than the 2021 one.
Great honest review. Awesome video.
Brah honestly one of the best review I have seen compared to those ‘magazine’ channels. Thank you
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day 👍🏻
I’ve had the 4th gen Apple TV HD for years and I’m still incredibly happy with how fast it still is. I’ll definitely be considering this version
What if I already have one the 2020 model. and I just want a second one for another TV in the house? would it be better to just get the 2021 model or the 2022 model

The 2022 model was the first ever AppleTV I bought, I gotta say its a huge improvement to my TVs built-in "smart" features!
HDR 10+ vs Dolby Vision reminds me of the platform wars like Blue Ray vs HD DVD.
Ok so I have last gen hardwired, would I see any benefit with the gigabit port?

I have an Apple HD and 3 Apple 4k 1st gen. Definitely going to upgrade at least 2
Is there any update on the lossless audio pass through ? Does it passes through HDMI the lossless audio or is it the same as the 2021 version 24/48?
Yeah I don’t understand why our phones have it & the Apple TV doesn’t?
I have last year’s and a much older Apple TV and I honestly can’t tell the difference. It streams everything I need it to and that’s what I really just need it to do.
I'm still using the 1080P HD Apple TV and it works fine for me. My TV is 1080P, so haven't felt a need to upgrade to a 4K Apple TV

It’s your tv matching the type of video your watching. Put your resolution to 4K sdr and match frame rate and type.
The black screen will keep happening because it’s switching to a different display. But if you put 4K sdr as your resolution it’ll happen less often
It’s not an issue technically because your tv or Apple TV isn’t broken. It’s just switching between different display types( hdr, Dolby vision) both are essentially the same thing. What you get depends on what tv you have. Some TVs are capable of both.
Search on RUclips best tv settings for Apple TV 4K and look at a couple videos. That should clear most things up.
🤣🤣 does anyone else realize how funny these guy is ?
Horizon Chase 2 is an absolute must-play on Apple TV for racing game fans - and Fantasian is one of the best JRPGs out there period.
Is anyone having issues with your remote becoming unpaired?

Both have wi-fi 6.
I have the the first gen 4K apple tv. I just got a LG C2 OLED. Is it work getting this 3rd gen 4K apple tv??
Yes. The 1st gen Apple tv 4k has raised blacks when playing dolby vision content. The 2nd and 3rd gen 4k boxes fixes it.
I hope the QMS VRR also fixes that black screen that happens when I have the Match Frame Rate feature on. On my Sony OLED it’ll have a black screen for several long seconds when switching to different apps with different frame rates.

@@zahirmulla6715 but do you have the match frame rate turned on? Every one got black screen delayed if Apple tv change format.
It will do that with the firmware uppdate. But you kneed a tv to support it to. And its only on new tv models

It does not
Can the Apple TV install downloaded APKs like the Shield? Can it attach & play USB drives? Can it act as a Plex media server?

Since you own the games already you might as well try them out on a full size screen with a game console controller and you have Apple Arcade you have access to that library. (personally Apple Arcade isn't worth paying for but there are ways to get it for free).
I found Apple Arcade not worth it but if you want Apple Music and a larger cloud size just get Apple One. It works out to basically be free arcade
In Europe (Portugal): 169,00 € / 189,00 €
Crazy, right?
I been thinking about upgrading my one or both of my Apple TV. I got the 4k 4th gen and HD 3rd gen (I think).
Does it stream Dolby Atmos Audio to Sonos Arc?
haha he is a f o o l ... I can't get enough!
❤❤❤ BRIAN: IF you do not get a PRE-NEP you are CRAZY !!!! ❤❤❤
I would like to see Apple concentrate on Music Sound quality. Maybe a ESS Saber DAC chip for 24 392 bit rate for music playback from Ethernet source.
Thoughts from Apple: we have a known problem with black screens on current gen hardware… let’s call the fix a new feature and everyone buy a new Apple TV and a brand new TV to solve the issue! 😮
I honestly think I will buy the Apple TV 2021 instead of the 2022 version. I don’t see any reason to get the last model when the 2021 looks absolutely fine!
That’s what I did, and my drawer full of Lightning cables will not be sent to the landfill. The 2022 version requires USB-C cables.
If you currently have neither, I’d certainly buy the latest model for the HDR-10+ support and the advanced processor.
Just picked up the 2022 128 GB and my TV looks like glass unreal compared to the older vision not sure why, but all the settings say one thing I use Dolby vision LG TV and it is great.
What I can’t understand is WHY didn’t Apple add continuity camera support for Apple TV and add a FaceTime app so we could use it like a big ass FaceTime device with PiP and SharePlay? We have family across the globe and this would be an awesome feature to be able to FaceTime on the living room tv! I think that the bits already are in place with the hardware already in. Apple silicon, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi. So I guess it’s just a software update to TVOS at this point. Just do it! I say! Anyone with me?
$ 20 more? No brainer for me as I always hardwire Ethernet whenever I can, and I get more storage.
Yup!
if it can run apex mobile max or upcoming warzone mob😳
🤔 - should I stick with my first ever edition of the Apple TV?
The upgrade is worth it especially as old as the first gen ATV is.
I still have the first Apple TV 4K and it's definitely time for an upgrade. I preordered one and it should be here by Monday. I can't wait!
There is no real reason to upgrade. Such a shame that people never think about the environment first.
@@Celisar1 There are some key differences between the original Apple 4K TV and this new version; HDR10+ (key if you have a Samsung TV), extra memory, Gigabit ethernet and the fact that the 2017 version is laggy and the remote sucks. These alone are good reasons to upgrade to this new version.
Same here.
@@BitsBytesBobs Yes, the 2017 remote stopped working and we had to switch to the remote app.
@@Celisar1 There’s a huge difference from the OG Apple TV 4K I have now. Also, stop being so self righteous and judgmental. Get off your high horse. You should be more worried about WWIII and nuclear war breaking out which would totally destroy the environment than me getting an Apple TV.
can you play call of duty on apple tv?
I have the 1st gen and watch a ton of RUclips so got it for the HDR support that started with the 2nd gen.
I am f mad that they just came out with a new Apple TV 4K. I just bought the 2021 Apple TV 4K this year. And I didn’t even open it yet. I hope this one is not much better than the 2021 one.
One more open 😂
I am using Android phone then when I buy apple tv is any issue facing me
No, you just won't be able to take advantage of the ecosystem hooks, but you WILL still need to create an Apple account to use it.
