+Omar The old one is Infra red and does not, unfortunately sync with macbook. It does with the imac. This one being bluetooth might work with all macs. I bought the old one to use with keynote on my macbook pro and then I found out the new macbook doesn't have the IR device. Instead of using the remote, I got a wiimote and use it on my presentations. The wiimote is a little bit bigger but it works. :)
Pedro Gordinho yes I remember the old remote working with my old macbook pro but I never tried it with my macbook pro retina but since its IR than you're right it won't work. It would be cool if this remote works with the new Macbooks since it has a touch pad then it could control the mouse for movie watching.
+Omar actually, even though they didn't talk about it when the first introduced the ATV4, the new remote has both Bluetooth and IR. I can't say for sure if the device will broadcast functions other than volume control, but it's worth a try.
+Omar I actually used the Magic Mouse when doing presentations. It connects through Bluetooth and all I did was Click and it changed the slide. So that's another option.
well, does it? :) Just purcashed apple Tv instead of apple Tv 4k. Hope i didnt fu*k myself and should go for 4k one... Dont realy use much 4k content on my 4k tv, tbh since i dont have optic internet or at least strong enough to support 4k online. However it was a gift from myself, to me and gona unbox it in 10 days on christmass eve. Hope it serves well.
I think Apple's idea about gaming for this new Apple TV, is the same as on iOS. Casual gaming! The Shield is aiming to compete directly with consoles. This Apple device is trying to bring the iOS experience to TV. The non-gaming apps all look very much like iPad apps.
I like the Amazon Fire TV. Great hardware. It's got 4K video and it's fast and reliable. Good choice if your primarily in the Amazon ecosystem and use Amazon prime. I have the old Apple TV also and it works great. I'll end up buying the Apple TV for an upgrade but I'll prefer the Fire TV because it has Alexa search which is more useful than Siri.
Since it's quite a bit thicker than the older ATV, I wonder if despite "just" having an A8 rather than A8X or A9 in there, if it's clocked higher than it ever has been and has some sort of heatsink and maybe even fan in there. It's also heavier, .93 pounds vs 0.6. That could be interesting. There are limits on how far they could push the CPU clock due to pipeline depth, but the GPU is the more interesting part for gaming, if they could near double the clock speed on that... Or it could just be for better wireless AC performance, like the super tall Airport Extreme. Want to take it apart for us, Dom? :P
Levi Harrison Seriously? That's messed up. If you buy hardware you should be able to blow it up for all the company cares. And doesn't Apple know that's kind of IFixIt's thing?
+tipoomaster I think we have to remember that these units are developer units, they did this to let developers get ahead of the curve and so there was content on the TVos App Store. These weren't intended to be shown to any or torn down. Admittedly it IS iFixIt's thing to tear down, but it was against the terms that they agreed to. And these units were basically given away to them so if I were Apple I would feel cheated too.
Does kinda annoy me when Apple send out devices meant for developers to RUclips reviewers. This was a developer kit available to a small group of developers yet most of them have gone to reviewers that will provide no feedback development wise to Apple and just want to be the first to make a video about them.
Thanks so much because without your video I was ready to return mine. You have me excited ! Where is there a manual for all you showed & at a slower or written pace. I am a youngish 71 years !
Here's the song from this video in case you were curious: mcmx.in/1MFLkAB
+Dom Esposito You make these beats?? not bad ... run tha trap!
+Dom Esposito I really wasn't
Excellent review!
+Dom Esposito o you need an iphone tun apple tv
+Dom Esposito do you need an iphone to run apple tv?
Awesome video Dom!
I agree
I agree
I agree
I agree
I agree.
Here's the camera I used to shoot this video: mcmx.in/sony-a7r2
+Dom Esposito
No wonder your videos look sick everytime!
+Dom Esposito do you need any apple products for the new apple tv?
+kaitlyn williams Nope. For much of the content you'll need an iTunes account, and you'll need an iTunes account to get 3rd party apps.
Benjamin Rumble ok thanks!
+Dom Esposito can you share bridge wallpaper?
Just in case you were wondering (many have asked), this is where I got the skin covering my iPhone: mcmx.in/1KIuG0U
Dom Esposito is the Apple 3rd gen capable of upgrading to the new TV OS? Or is it exclusive to Apple TV 4th gen.
tvOS is available for the 4th gen only, unfortunately :(
Using Bluetooth headphones to listen to content on Apple TV is a big selling point.
This is going to blow up. And I'll be so happy when it does. Freaking awesome video, Dom.
Thanks!!
Peppa pig
Can't wait for the new model... Nice music by the way, who did it?
Seems like at last I won't be loosing this thicker remote between my sofa pillows.
+Kaysha lol I know the pain. The remote from 3rd generation always seem to disappear.
+shanedriveinit yeah, sometimes in bed it just seems to be hiding from me
*****
very cinematic unboxing. Almost music videoish. Great content as usual homie
Wow, this review was amazingly shot!
+John Gröndahl and edited!
What's the LG TV model ?
Would that new remote sync to a Macbook / iMac via bluetooth like the old one did? Would be awesome to control my Macbook with that remote.
+Omar The old one is Infra red and does not, unfortunately sync with macbook. It does with the imac.

Great question! That would be a nice touch by Apple.

Came here from Unbox therapy. Subscribed. Awesome vids
+siddarth saha Thanks!
Please tell me what iPhone and Macbook case you're using in the first 20 secs.. Thanks!
Dbrand skins
The new siri remote is killer. Nice video man liked it!!!
Does the new Apple TV offer 'steady sound" so it can keep a constant volume even during loud TV advertisements?
well, does it? :) Just purcashed apple Tv instead of apple Tv 4k. Hope i didnt fu*k myself and should go for 4k one... Dont realy use much 4k content on my 4k tv, tbh since i dont have optic internet or at least strong enough to support 4k online.

These video introductions are getting more and more epic! I swear I'm getting hypnotised by the awesomeness haha!
Exclusive, exclusive, exclusive!! Dope video as always Dom. Dude I think you're getting the hang of that A7rII. Looking crispy I must say.
Awesome I had my Apple TV since 2011 and I'm ready for this upgrade thanks for an in depth detailed look of the product!
WANT
Wut
You make some of the nicest tech videos!
I'm really courious to see it against the NVidia Shield TV, wich is the only competitor in my opinion to this media center on steroids. Nice video!
Nyasha Mushambi If you go by the spec list, yeah. If you prefer a particular environment over pure specs it's not that obvious
What about the Amazon Fire tv?
The Shield's hardware specs are better. But Apple seems to have gotten the Siri remote right.

I will say Dom's video game has been strong lately. Good job man!
Why do you have that weird picture of Austin in your photostream (seen at 6:08 in the video)?
Because why not.
+Dom Esposito amen
+Dom Esposito which would you reccomend this or roku
Coz he's gay
Because simply it is not his Apple TV. It's a developer unit.
That intro though!
Great video Dom, super cool to see so much about the Apple TV ahead of time.
Super sick!!
Dude, you are starting to master tech videos! Keep Up!!!
You know that you are not allowed to publish videos of the new Apple TV as developer??
I'm not a developer. I do not have a developer account.
***** Smart :) Great video!
+Rick Vdl Thanks!
How did you get it I thought it wasn't even out
Dude, amazing video! I can't wait to get my hands on this next month.
I love that your able to use connect bluetooth headphones to the Apple TV
No video player is worth a purchase if you cant run Kodi on it.
+Drayonis With Kodi already running on iOS and tvOS sharing the same underlining core it will be simple for the team to get it up and running.
I agree , this is why I use the Amazon Fire tv box .
+Drayonis How is Kodi different or better than Plex?
Kodi and Plex will be definetly available for tvOS
+Ankush Narula I use plex as well. With Kodi I can stream my content directly. No need to download the content and store it on my Mac and stream over.
Dom, I love the way you edit your videos
the best editor ever
Is anyone else wondering if that's somebody's cut off hand below his tv?
LOL WTF
That opening with that beat is sick!
iOS 9.1 so dose this mean iOS 9.1 is coming next month ??
Guess so
Good Because IOS 9.0 Is Kinda Laggy...Hoping IOS 9.1 will Fix that....Good Video Also.
+Brian Goodwin try doing reset settings. It worked for me to remove lag.
I'm on the 9.1 beta and it's really smooth.
Ok thank I will try that
Does Siri support home sharing? Like if i search a film will it show it if i have it in my iTunes library?
Since it's quite a bit thicker than the older ATV, I wonder if despite "just" having an A8 rather than A8X or A9 in there, if it's clocked higher than it ever has been and has some sort of heatsink and maybe even fan in there.

There are limits on how far they could push the CPU clock due to pipeline depth, but the GPU is the more interesting part for gaming, if they could near double the clock speed on that...
Or it could just be for better wireless AC performance, like the super tall Airport Extreme. Want to take it apart for us, Dom? :P
I really hope there is no fan !
Justin Holmes There isn't, there are teardowns on ifixit now
+tipoomaster iFixIt took it apart and got their developers license revoked and their app pulled from that App Store for doing that
Levi Harrison Seriously? That's messed up. If you buy hardware you should be able to blow it up for all the company cares. And doesn't Apple know that's kind of IFixIt's thing?

With a smart TV is the apple TV worth it?
Does kinda annoy me when Apple send out devices meant for developers to RUclips reviewers. This was a developer kit available to a small group of developers yet most of them have gone to reviewers that will provide no feedback development wise to Apple and just want to be the first to make a video about them.
Is the AirPlay mirror at 1080p????
Question, am I the only one who sees that hand looking thing below the Tv? 😦
I see it too!
+Zitah Dw i was searching for the one who would ask that
How many people saw it then?
That was an epic review. I don't feel I need to see any other material about the new Apple TV. Thanks for that!
Trap Life.
You know it.
This video is worth 1 million views just for that intro alone. Sick intro.
Is it fucking hand under that tv?
The new way of starting the videos is simply great.Loving the new style Dom!Keep up the awesome work!
I store my pictures to iCloud Drive. Can I view them from the Apple TV?
What's the song??
can it play 4k videos over Airplay?
What TV did you use in this review? Those colors and the contrast ratio look amazing!
what's your television model
ure music in the intros of ure videos are superb dom......!!! continue doing it :D
Can I use a normal IR remote (like the old Apple TV remote or compatible multi-remote) with the device?
Great review, and that intro track was just sick!
Can I set up the apple TV using an iPad Air 2 or mini 3 with bluetooth?
You always make the best Tech Reviews!
How'd you get it? Did you get a dev kit?
This new Apple TV looks great! I can't wait to grab one.
Amazing work brosuf!
love the intro! good editing 😊
Killing it with uploads lately ! Amazing work !!
I have the 3rd generation and I just wanna say it is amazing! It's so smooth and modern and works amazingly. I love it so much!
@dom that tv has terrible screen uniformity - doesn't it bother you when watching movies or playing games? Lots of banding. What model tv is it?
If i conect my phone or pad to the big screen i can pretty much do the same, only need a remote.
Thanks so much because without your video I was ready to return mine. You have me excited ! Where is there a manual for all you showed & at a slower or written pace. I am a youngish 71 years !
Where did you get this black iPhone case @8:00?
Is 24p playback supported now?
Wait how did you get it? I thought it wasn't out yet
From where did you get it before launch?
Nice video, how did you get an apple tv so early?? How do I get one??
What's the music before the introduction started?
Does the remote work with macs like the old one did?
Great hardware/software intro...like always!
Uhhh Dom... what's that hand doing under your TV?
Can't wait to see the 'Gaming' review part. Seems like there are already controllers made for it?
I can always expect some good tunes on these vids.
your killing it with these videos bruh, damn!
Do you have to pay for each movie or song you get? Is it just like Itunes
For the airplay video you need internet or not ? Thanks
So, Movies and Music is "free" with the apple tv? Thanks
Man this was outstanding Dom!
Do u have to pay monthly, yearly, etc.
Will it support 4K streaming?
are movies and tv shows included?
I tried to buy it in the apple store but it's not officially out. How did you get it?
loving the quality of this video! Brilliant!!
that unboxing intro was beautiful
Awesome editing skills man! What model LG TV is that?
Would it be fine to replace a wifi dvd player for this?
Why is there a hand below your TV? Something you wanna tell us Dom?
where did you get that case for your iphone?????
Wow Dom, your videos are superb now, you changed the way you made your videos, very good video awesome work man
Are you able to stream video files from a PC?
I'm sure you've gotten this question before, but, is it worth upgrading from the current Apple TV whenever this newer version is released?
Great video :) you were very thorough! Fantastic edit, the refined Apple TV looks awesome :D
Great video I just wish we knew the pricing for the UK.
Can you connect several Bluetooth headphones for audio output?
my tv is old , does this generation of apple tv will work on it ?
Omg where u get it . Thx for review 😍
Where did you get the black skin for the iphone?
