+Shane Tom it is a developer's kit. apple sent them out through a "lottery" system - you enter your name and if you win they send you one for free with a one-dollar charge for shipping. the lottery system is closed now so everyone else has to wait until next month. :)
Hey Andru, could you please test the remote if it connects with iMac or mac book and what all functions of the remote can we use on macs? I had an Apple remote for watching movies but its now useless as they removed the IR port from all macs. New remote is bluetooth, if not all, at least some functions might work!
Great unbox! if you hold the menu button of the old ATV3 remote, does it take you back to home screen? and if you hold the select/ok button while playing a video, does it bring up audio info screen?
Apple must come up an app for iPhones or iPads to use it with Apple TV (2015) as another remote control by Wi-Fi. Does Apple TV 2015 support contents playback from USB drives?
+Ninth Cinema Down There was a very good reason for that, which you can probably figure out if you think about it for a bit. None of my other videos are shot that way, right...?
Great video, and that TV button is apparently the 'Home' button for the Apple TV. Let me know how you got your hands on it? and I am looking forward to iPhone 6S and 6S+ unboxing before it releases!..
Hey Andru, great video! I have a question regarding the remote and the TV. I understand that the IR in the remote is programable to the TV for volume, etc, my question is what else can you do with it? Will the new Siri remote completely do away with my LG remote? For instance, can I can I switch inputs on my tv from the siri remote? Just curious, any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks again!
I am ordering on a soon they are available. I have apple tv on all the rooms here. +Andru Edwards did you connect these to a good display or tv? How that look.
Great unboxing and thanks for sharing. Question: Is it possible to mix apps from different countries on the new Apple TV? This can be done with iOS, so if I install an app only available in the US iTunes store (Say Hulu) and an app only found in the UK iTunes store (say BBC iPlayer), they can sit next to each other on the hub. Does the new Apple TV U.I also allow this?
Why's that? They started in 2010, and I started Unboxing Live in 2006, and have been running Unboxing.com since 2005 back when I started the concept before everyone started doing it! ;)
+Andru Edwards That's odd how some channels like Unbox Therapy and LinusTechTips just explode within a few years, with over a million subs, and some older channels just remain dormant.
I super-wish they would have done two things: 1. make the remote magnetic so it can stick to the Apple TV box, so I don't lose it. 2. Build in a locator, so I can use my phone to find the remote.
+Artiifakt The expectation is that you won't use the Apple TV itself to charge the remote. Just your regular phone charger. Remote only has to be charged 4-5 times a year.
I know they only have made white ones for the lightning connector I'm just saying it would have been nice to have finally seen some color matched cables come included I'm not the only one who has said this
Yes! I'll be doing more Apple TV video recording tomorrow, and I think I'll take live questions through Snapchat and Periscope so I can show people how things work.
+Andru Edwards Well another mic, but that one picks up background noise to help Siri understand better. At least that's how it works on the iPhone. Front mic for voice, rear mic for noise filtering.
If I understand it correctly, you have to have another device with USB or at least the USB charger to charge the remote. I think there is missing something :)
I'm just curious about the logic here: Why did Apple include a Lightning to USB type A cable while the Apple TV only has an USB type C port. Shouldn't you be able to charge your remote from the Apple TV?
+Călin Ilie No one wants to charge a remote from the Apple TV when you can just use the same Lightning cable that you use to charge your phone from on the couch, right? ;)
There is something missing in there. Apple always has a piece of paper of some sort, usually on top of the appleTV when you open the box. It at least requires an FCC statement.
+Frederic Bourget I think this was rushed-filmed in some back room around the Apple Event - that's why all this little mistakes - brown paper, confusing HOME button with TV, documentation missing etc etc
USB-C on the AppleTV so you cant plug in the cable that comes with it to charg the remote. No problem as everybody will find a way to charge it but just came to my mind.
Looks nice, but two things. 1, 802.11ac in real usage is NOT faster than gigabit Ethernet due to latency and packet loss. 2, HDMI 1.4? Seriously? So no 4k at 60hz.... Think I'll stick with my NVIDIA Shield Android TV.
+Andru Edwards Wow, that's really disappointing. Glad to see they saved the 5 extra cents that would've cost per unit. What a joke. Why'd they even bother with putting Ethernet on it in the first place?
Gotta figure out how you managed to get one this early ;) Nice job!
Slip one my way! ;)
+DetroitBORG Hey Mike! I actually plan on emailing you later this weekend! The one on your RUclips about page still good? :)
+Andru Edwards Awewsome. Yep, that'll work!
+DetroitBORG sent to both! :)
+Andru Edwards wow this is interesting. I wonder how exactly you got a hold of this. Apple might be interested.
+Shane Tom it is a developer's kit. apple sent them out through a "lottery" system - you enter your name and if you win they send you one for free with a one-dollar charge for shipping. the lottery system is closed now so everyone else has to wait until next month. :)
DUDE! I need this in my life.
+David Di Franco Yeees, can't wait! :D
Hi, Daviiid!
Hi, Daviiid!
how'd u get it
+Skip Aj -- China.
hey! i love apple to but what other post did you see me from??
are you gonna be getting new iPhones, apple watch or Apple TV?
well I'm going to try and convince my family to get the apple tv and I'm saving for a watch
lol i have an iPhone 5
I love the fact it lets you connect your Bluetooth headsets to it :D. i''m in love with that feature.
Hey Andru, could you please test the remote if it connects with iMac or mac book and what all functions of the remote can we use on macs? I had an Apple remote for watching movies but its now useless as they removed the IR port from all macs. New remote is bluetooth, if not all, at least some functions might work!
Hello, where did you get this nice colorful ring?
Even the channel is small, the content is surprising great! This RR8 is so cool :)
+Hannes Krämer Did you enter the BB-8 giveaway? :)
not jet, but give me a minute XD
How about the plug for the lightning cable?
+Arash Armin Nope!
Nice!
You mean nice
Like your videos
+Shane Tom Haha, I did! Thanks for watching!
Does it pop popcorn to?
+Drew Pickens -- I can pop the popcorn.
Great unbox! if you hold the menu button of the old ATV3 remote, does it take you back to home screen? and if you hold the select/ok button while playing a video, does it bring up audio info screen?
Do you have Amazon FireTV, Nexus Player and other devices like Roku??? I'd like to see how the assistants hold up in a comparison video...
FIRST
LOL
+TechSmartt This guy!
+TechSmartt No no no it is "FIIIIIIIII111i1i11ii1i1i1iii11i1i11i11i11ist!" XD
The fact your the first to unbox this I'm subscribing to you bro 👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽👌🏽💯💯
Apple must come up an app for iPhones or iPads to use it with Apple TV (2015) as another remote control by Wi-Fi.
Does Apple TV 2015 support contents playback from USB drives?
You can use your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and iPod touch as an Apple TV remote ;)
No USB drive playback though!
Looks awesome, I'm looking to upgrade from the 2nd gen Apple TV. To this but I'm not sure. Would you say it is worth the upgrade?
Most definitely. Night and day difference. It comes out later this month. By the way, I think we'll be giving away two of them!
+Andru Edwards keep me in mind dude for the giveaway id be extremely grateful if I won this Apple TV it would be the very fruit giveaway I'd win 😊
Damn you're the MAN! I can't believe this!!!! Do you know when the pre-orders go on sale?
+Chris B not sure yet! If I had to guess? 2-3 weeks.
in your next video. can you show how you can turn the TV On and Off? that's a huge feature for a cord cutter.
Thanks to the first review :) Greetings from Turkey!
I would totally be interested in one of these!! by chance do you know if you can access local media from your computer? Great unboxing!
Can't wait to get one. Are you able to try it out? Would like to see the game apps etc.
+JEMustang I'll be publishing more videos of the Apple TV this week. Probably on Thursday and Friday!
Very curious to see which of the nifty features they showed off work with any streaming service (Netflix, etc) and which work only with iTunes.
Great timing, cool video, the only problem I have is you film the product against brown, wrinkled paper. Makes it look cheap.
+Ninth Cinema Down There was a very good reason for that, which you can probably figure out if you think about it for a bit. None of my other videos are shot that way, right...?
Nice unboxing ! Good vidéo :)
+Tuto Iphone | Monde Apple Thank you!
I was expecting the lightning cable to be a USB-C one so you could charge the remote from the back of the Apple TV.
Someone is never getting a review unit again haha.
+Ricardo del toro Funny. My iPad mini 4 review unit just arrived today.
Great video, and that TV button is apparently the 'Home' button for the Apple TV. Let me know how you got your hands on it? and I am looking forward to iPhone 6S and 6S+ unboxing before it releases!..
Wow. Same day. Impressive for days. Hope your embargo-pants are clean.
Hey Andru, great video! I have a question regarding the remote and the TV. I understand that the IR in the remote is programable to the TV for volume, etc, my question is what else can you do with it? Will the new Siri remote completely do away with my LG remote? For instance, can I can I switch inputs on my tv from the siri remote? Just curious, any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks again!
+Jeff Roberts No switching inputs
Nice review bro! Looking forward to seeing more and that BB8!
+Keaston Smith BB-8 contest is up! Did you enter? :)
Of what I've seen in an other review that TV button will take you to the main screen from wherever you are in the menu system.
Get a case for the remote there's glass on the lower face of the remote . Very easy to break.
This is true...
I am ordering on a soon they are available. I have apple tv on all the rooms here. +Andru Edwards did you connect these to a good display or tv? How that look.
+Carlos De Bernard Looks nice. Very...white.
Nice! Sweet video!
+Tomas Villegas Thanks!
Can you please tell me what's the background music? :) Cause I didn't find it as "Venice Beach". Btw cool video! :)
Great unboxing and thanks for sharing. Question: Is it possible to mix apps from different countries on the new Apple TV? This can be done with iOS, so if I install an app only available in the US iTunes store (Say Hulu) and an app only found in the UK iTunes store (say BBC iPlayer), they can sit next to each other on the hub. Does the new Apple TV U.I also allow this?
Those stuttering cuts are annoying.
But it is nice that the Remote contains Aluminium, not plastic :)
show demo please!!!
why you didnt open it on a TELEVISION
+sorlino89 Open it on a television instead of a table?!
The 1.4 HDMI that was talked about in the video is different then the one that is a that is currently used for the Apple TV 3?
+Chris Cook Yeah, it's newer.
does it come the at apple tv
Unbox therapy hates u right now... ha! Great video, thanks for the early peek.
Why's that? They started in 2010, and I started Unboxing Live in 2006, and have been running Unboxing.com since 2005 back when I started the concept before everyone started doing it! ;)
Subscribed, much respect OG unboxer! ;)
+Andru Edwards That's odd how some channels like Unbox Therapy and LinusTechTips just explode within a few years, with over a million subs, and some older channels just remain dormant.
Right, no one know why that is! I think it's just the right thing at the right time, collabing with the right people, etc.
Looking forward to a iPad Pro video!
i know its the developer release
do any apps come preinstalled or can you access the app store and download apps?
Not yet
Is it the same IR Codes as the old remote ?
+ciuped Question is if the old remote is able to control the new AppleTV - for integration purpose - Thank you
+ciuped Yep!
Tell us how u got it!!!!
+Michael Billig Magicians don't reveal their secrets!
+Andru Edwards Ohhhh, you're a developer. I just got it 👍🏻
I super-wish they would have done two things:
1. make the remote magnetic so it can stick to the Apple TV box, so I don't lose it.
2. Build in a locator, so I can use my phone to find the remote.
+WePiphany LLC Both of those would have been great
Can you connect Bluetooth headphones to it for private listening?
+Brandon Telford Doesn't seem like it
No HDMI cable upsets me a little but since I am simply upgrading from the Apple TV I already have I will get over it.
+Vernon Parker Yeah, lots of devices don't ship with them anymore.
Wow how did u do it
Nice vid man!
Can you still change the DNS manually on the new Apple TV?
+Monty Chandra Yep!
Thanks :)
Do you think the Apple TV will support 4K anytime soon?
Did you set up the remote? I have a sony to doesnt have bravia link (hdmi cec) are my volume buttons completely useless?
+Nick Ashton It can use the remote control codes for the Sony TV
+Andru Edwards using IR??
can I use my old power cord with the new Apple TV?
When exactly does they release this? Like a date..
+SBMV Edits October is all they have said
how did you get it?
Is the bottom half also glass?
+SentinelPrimek Nope, aluminum like an iPod.
+Andru Edwards i think he is asking about the glossy part
+Andru Edwards I mean the glossy part, below the trackpad
+SentinelPrimek Metal :)
What size did they send you?
I bet the story behind this is interesting
+Daniel Yount I try to keep it interesting! More Apple TV vids coming next week!
Doesn't seem like a bit of an oversight to put a usb-c port on the back, but include a non usb-c cord for the remote?? seems odd to me.
+Artiifakt The expectation is that you won't use the Apple TV itself to charge the remote. Just your regular phone charger. Remote only has to be charged 4-5 times a year.
will kodi work on the new apple tv
If they release an official app for it, which I think they will.
Yes
Will they
how long is lightning cable?
+Narathip Bunturngsuk Same as the iPhone ones
I'm waiting to get it
I love how everything is black EXCEPT the lightning cable
*Face palm*
The Lightning cable doesn't plug into the Apple TV at all though, so it won't clash. It's just there to charge the remote.
Exactly
It clashes with the remote
My issue isn't even that though
The white cables on anything show dirt the easiest
Yeah, but Apple has only ever made white charing cables for iPods, iPhones, and iPads. That part was to be expected I think.
I know they only have made white ones for the lightning connector
I'm just saying it would have been nice to have finally seen some color matched cables come included
I'm not the only one who has said this
my remote control lost the connection with the Apple TV 4 how to get it connected aigan? hope you can tell me, thanks
Silly question but always good to ask, did you try it while it was plugged into the Lightning cable to see if it would reconnect that way?
how you connect this to audio system ?
I can't wait thanks for the video Andru.
+Michael Ludgood Sure thing! Thanks for the kind words!
From where did you get apple tv
+Gamer Zon .......
Awesome video. I see you connect game on POINT!!!!!!!
+Keith C I try! Thank you!
Is the AirPlay mirroring at 1080p??
Yes! I'll be doing more Apple TV video recording tomorrow, and I think I'll take live questions through Snapchat and Periscope so I can show people how things work.
Omg lucky you actually got one
The microphone is on the front, not the back.
+InternetDude What's the thing on back then?
+Andru Edwards Well another mic, but that one picks up background noise to help Siri understand better. At least that's how it works on the iPhone. Front mic for voice, rear mic for noise filtering.
+Andru Edwards Another mic for noise cancellation. Like its there in all the recent phones and iPad.
+Andru Edwards Dual mic, like the iPhones where both mic picks up audio for ambient/background noise cancellation.
Bugs me not getting to see what was beneath the bottom sticker.
+Andru Edwards Can u tell me how u got one? I really want one ;)
+Saam Golmoradi (Pirateandroidhacker) Apple will be releasing them in about 3 weeks!
Andru Edwards Ya I know but how do u get it early I am willing to pay more
If I understand it correctly, you have to have another device with USB or at least the USB charger to charge the remote. I think there is missing something :)
+douglish Yes, that is correct. But it only has to be charged once every 3 months.
Does it support Plex
+WillardsChips Yeah Plex is making an Apple TV app
No optical out?
+jmeverts1234 Nope!
how do i get one now??
+John GuySmith You can't
I'm just curious about the logic here: Why did Apple include a Lightning to USB type A cable while the Apple TV only has an USB type C port. Shouldn't you be able to charge your remote from the Apple TV?
+Călin Ilie No one wants to charge a remote from the Apple TV when you can just use the same Lightning cable that you use to charge your phone from on the couch, right? ;)
Como Lo tienes? 😮
Who sold you this? :D
+Apple99er No one, THAT would be illegal!
Andru Edwards Haha ok ;DDD
There is something missing in there. Apple always has a piece of paper of some sort, usually on top of the appleTV when you open the box. It at least requires an FCC statement.
+Frederic Bourget Documentation missing - you're right - should be in the box
+Frederic Bourget I think this was rushed-filmed in some back room around the Apple Event - that's why all this little mistakes - brown paper, confusing HOME button with TV, documentation missing etc etc
I focused on the hardware that was in the package. No need to show stickers, pamphlets with regulatory info, etc.
Bingo - fairly accurate!
does it support spotify?
+Ha Hyung Lee If Spotify releases an app for it, which if I had to guess, they will
I still think it is a sweet product!
Nice Thank for sharing.
USB-C is for service only, not charging the remote or any other end user function.
+Gee Bee Also for developer access and testing apps
How to get one?!
+Hercy Chang You'll have to wait until they are released in October!
USB-C on the AppleTV so you cant plug in the cable that comes with it to charg the remote. No problem as everybody will find a way to charge it but just came to my mind.
+MrThejuzam Yeah you just charge with a standard Lightning cable
Cool. Needs better Siri
to set this up you must necessary have any apple device
This looks great
That's awesome thanks for the video
+joseph soler Thanks for the kind words!
wohooooo this is so awesomeee.. omg.. this is amazing
You're my HERO!
How did u get early access to it were u just lucky XD
How????
Why haven't you shown a demonstration of its use. Is it not a real working model?
+yobaden That's for a different video, gotta keep these short!
This is the real deal! I wish mine came early! #1 Lay down #2 Try to stop crying #3 Cry alot more
+Kimthology Productions There, there! Cheer up, pal!!
Looks nice, but two things. 1, 802.11ac in real usage is NOT faster than gigabit Ethernet due to latency and packet loss. 2, HDMI 1.4? Seriously? So no 4k at 60hz.... Think I'll stick with my NVIDIA Shield Android TV.
It's not gigabit. It's 100 megabit.
+Andru Edwards i can't believe they would only put 100 megabit ethernet in a premium product in 2015
+Jonathan Levin They see wireless as the future (see the MacBook) so I guess that's their thinking. The Airport Express is all 10/100 also.
+Andru Edwards Wow, that's really disappointing. Glad to see they saved the 5 extra cents that would've cost per unit. What a joke. Why'd they even bother with putting Ethernet on it in the first place?
what ya streaming that's more than 100Mbps?
