I've been using other streaming services and devices for a long time, even though I've been immersed in the Apple ecosystem for a while - The Apple TV doesn't seem to get much attention, but I believe it should, which is why I decided to make this Apple TV 4K review.

Don't forget that most smart TVs and external Android boxes show ads, which cannot be disabled. Also the Apple TV is one the very few settop boxes, which can pass through the original frame rate of played material - so there is no micro-stuttering like on so many Android bases boxes and TVs ....
But it doesn’t pass through TrueHD audio. Other than that it’s great
Yup. I have to stay with the Shield for my ceiling speakers and USB port. I just use the Shield as the Plex Server now. Too bad Apple can’t do these 2 things.
i wish they had built an airtag into the remote. since it's so small and easy to lose to couch cushions this would be a huge convenience
Bought mine last year. 2nd gen 4K AND I LOVE IT!!
I use it most for Fitness+ and It’s a dream how well it works.
RUclips is my daily “TV” content and have all platforms in your fingertips and the speed of light is terrific.
Having first owned an Apple TV since 2018, I couldn’t even imagine using stock or downloaded apps on TV’s itself. It’s No comparison. And the 3rd generation 4K is soooo much better than my older 1st & 2nd Gen. I didn’t expect the difference to be that noticeable in size or speed.
Coming from someone who uses my smart tv's preinstalled Netflix and RUclips apps, this really makes me seriously consider buying an Apple TV to see the difference
My favorite thing is that movies purchased through Apple often have special features and commentary on par with a DVD or Blu Ray if you access them on an AppleTV device.
And there are so many good $5-$10 sales every week, it is easy to build a digital library of my favorite films so I don’t have to hunt through a dozen different streaming services every time I want to watch something specific.
Kyle from a semi-pro photographer and tech enthusiast's perspective, wow, this video is, incredible. The polish, b-roll, framing of the monologue (with great lighting choices in the background), the info, the content, the product deep dive, the transitions, this is just plain excellent all-around! Keep up the great work man, I'm a new subscriber as of today!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
I've just gotten in to listening to spatial audio via Apple Music on the Apple TV. Even with a 5.1 setup it sounds incredible. Turns the TV into a karaoke screen too. Neighbours be damned, I'm a belter. Pity it's to Barbie Girl but you gotta start somewhere.
😂😂😂 Barbie girl!
Probably the best Apple TV review I’ve seen and I’ve watched a decent amount of them admittedly. Good job!
Couldn't agree more, I legitimately thought this guy had 1M+ followers with the level this video is at. Hats off to him, his channel will grow quickly with content like this.
I love my Apple TV with the original HomePods. I have it connected to a 77” LG OLED. The Apple TV interface is simple and clean. Plus, with the HomePods it is a theater-like experience.
I am fully submerged into the Apple ecosystem though, so the Apple TV works with all of my devices.
Thanks for another great review in a dispassionate style which provides the facts clearly.
Really enjoyed this review. Comments and production just superb. Subscribed!
I.just ordered one and should be here tomorrow. I'm excited! I've used the fire stick for the last 5 years and noticed recently it lags quite a bit so this should be a great upgrade for me.
It’s just so smooth!
I use my Apple TV and iPad as another monitor of my MacBook Pro sometimes when I have a huge work load works perfectly for me
I have the HomePods connected to mine, and the immersive experience is even better
I love my Apple TV. I use it with a stereo pair of HomePod Minis. I have a HomeKit set up for my smart home and I have notifications that pop up on screen for doorbell cams and when my smart door lock is locked and unlocked. I can use my phone or Apple Watch for a remote if I need to. It’s a beautiful ecosystem.
A big advantage of the Apple 4k TV is the ability to change the TV resolution format back to the original show's format. For instance, DS9 on Paramount+ looks terrible in 4K, but the Apple player lets me change my LGC2 resolution to 720p SDR. Looks so much better. Same with Seinfeld on Netflix which is horrific in 4K. The Apple TV makes these shows so much better to watch.
HDR looks like crap on my 4k TV and there is no way to disable it in the TV settings, but in the Apple 4K TV settings I can force SDR and it looks much better, at least on my TV
Crazy how i never thought i would buy an apple tv now i have 3 they are like the airpods you hate on them until you use them and realize how good they are
Great video. I have to use Voice control to control my iPad and there is capability to control the Apple TV with voice the the iPad remote app but it's not very good. I have to individually via voice for each movement on the screen versus the pan function which allows scrolling which is far more convenient and is available on the iPad. So I really can't search around very easily using voice control for the Apple TV. I have tried to express my concerns to Apple but they could care less. It's an easy change to do this but there is no interest because no one cares about people with disabilities. I I have mostly dictated this is every time I touch the iPad screen it is very painful and straining to my arms and worsens the more I do it. Again, great job with video
Great vid. Happy New year Kyle
Same to you!
I've been using an XBox One as my streaming device for years and on apps like Netflix there's a noticeable improvement in performance over my TV's built in Netflix app. And, of course, I can game on it. However, I live in Apple land these days and the tight integration with my devices make the Apple TV very tempting, especially since it has the A15 processor and it's reasonably priced.
Make the jump. Doubt you’ll wanna use your Xbox to stream again.
@@bushysowavveyXbox is a really good streaming device, not to mention it’s a whole game console. Apple TV isn’t, and will never be one
Apple TV is now also thread router, very useful.
What 40"-43" TV monitor(s) do you recommend with ATV if not connecting to WiFi?
Thanks for an excellent video.
If you have the iPhone 14 pro model the always on display keeps the Apple TV remote on screen. I really love my Apple TV.
I have a Zidoo Z9S and love it, but that’s because I download my own files to watch.
I bought an Apple TV4 seven years ago and is still working perfectly. I also have the dedicated steel series gamepad and there is no problem at all. I will upgrade to the new Apple TV4k third generation and I know it will get me going for more 7 years.
Iam only need it for my homepods to work with my smart tv
Bravo best video on Apple TV
I consider myself rather an audiophile and i have some decent equimpent both on HiFi and Surround Level BUT i just watched some movies like "Avatar" and "Baby Driver" via new Apple TV and AirPods Pro2 and this is UNF....ble good - when you consider the pricing of these two devices than i consider it even better (it is not a simple in-ear headphone / streaming box - these are high tech devices and great for the money)
Your tv seems to be mounted on some sort of custom wall (i really don’t know how those furniture are called). Can we get a quick description of your tv setup?
Can you change the Source with this remote when you want to switch to xbox? and then switch back to Apple tv afterwards?
Might switch to the apple tv.
Since my chrome cast is so slow to use. RUclips app also closes suddenly every time.
Can it pull in High Res audio from Apple Music so i can USB to my DAC?
What is the life of the apple tv remote as the batteries are non replaceable? will the TV be useless without the remote?
Also, can it be connected with monitor instead of a TV and all features can be used?
I'm new to your channel, but I thought this was a great review. I'll definitely be checking out more of your vids. You've earned a new subscriber! I do have a quick question about the remote. Can you use it to change the input of your tv? That's one of the most used buttons on my TV remote (LG C1) and I would hate to give that up. If not, can you still get full functionality of the Apple TV by using the TV remote? I really don't like having more than one remote in my home theater setup. It just confuses everybody in the house.
You can totally use your TV remote if you’d like!
How do u split screen?
I upgraded from the 2017 4K Apple TV to the current 128Gb model. I’ll say this, Apple did a great job keeping the 2107 version up to date. I haven’t noticed much difference between the two versions. One thing I noticed was when watching videos on RUclips in 4K 60fps the 2017 model would downscale to 1440p 60fps. The current version runs 4K hdr 60fps no problem.
I have a 2017 version, should I upgrade?
@@heavenlyxtacy I think it depends on whether you need more storage for gaming or not. I honestly haven’t noticed much of a difference. I am happy I upgraded to the newer version though. I think if you can afford to upgrade, then I think you should go for it. The older model can get relocated to another room.
@@carlcameron3524 thank you very much for the reply, I don't play any games just used for streaming so space is no requirement. Does the new model have any picture or sound improvement please advise
@@heavenlyxtacy I have a full Dolby Atmos set up and haven’t noticed any improvement in sound quality. One good thing about this current version will be all the software updates in the future. The current version has the A15 Bionic versus the A10 Fusion.
I think one thing i would like to see is the ability for Hi resolution lossless. This thing is definitely powerful enough for it. I have a Denon X4500H that would support it.
The Apple TV is really great, I frequently use it on my sky glass instead of the apps that come with sky glass... however at the moment I do use the sky tv as I have ad skipping for free but this will probably change once that has expired. my only quarrel is the new TV+ app, the up next is nowhere near as attractive as it used to be and used to be almost seamless, now I find myself accidentally clicking on one of the 'featured/recomened' shows which is really annoying. and I miss the huge poster art that took over the entire screen. it was stunning. I hope they revert back.
I love my Apple TV!! Really need to get that new remote though haha
I end up using my phone a lot because I'm too lazy to reach for the Siri remote lol
@@KyleErickson I do that all the time too!!!
I nearly tor the box apart looking for the usb-c cable I was like WTF. Only issue I had so far was my AirPod pro 2 disconnected a couple times not sure what that’s about
I bought my Apple TV for spatial audio on my AirPod pro 2 and its well worth it
Nice!
I am a Samsung fanboy. But the Apple TV 4K 128gb model is off the charts. I use the Nvidia Shield pro, ROKU Ultra and the Amazon Cube. I always go back to Apple TV because of HDR 10+. Awesome on my Samsung S95B 65 inch tv. Great video and very informative.
The integration with other Apple devices is amazing too... Apple TV will automatically pair with your Airpods when you want it to and pair with your phone if you need the keyboard.
I have the same tv. Is the difference worth it?
@@bryanwheat4978 yes very much so.
I just bought one becase i’ve got wi-fi issues on my lg smart tv. This small box way faster than my 2020 lg tv. And i didn’t see this becase my soundbar hide it.
Thanks for the video..I have a older 4K box. What is the difference between the ATV box and ATV app?
The app is just a streaming service like Netflix.
Hi thank you I just purchased and apple tv, in order to make the much out of my apple subscription, and my kids use a lot of games in arcade, which control do you recomend? my kids have used only nintendo switch so far... so i dont really know another options., thank you in advanced!
Any of PlayStation, Xbox or Switch controllers will work! They all have great options, just make sure you get a wireless one!
Just bought 2022 version coz I want to play horizon chase 2 … but it overheats and thermal throttle, frame rate becomes lower and laggy after 15 min of playing or so … a lot of reviews didn’t mention that … My Apple TV 2015 menu navigation feels more snappy (4K resolution might be a factor)
Are you still using your LG monitor hooked up to your MBA? I'm thinking of getting a MBA this year, hopefully a 15" version if they release one and need a monitor that works well with a Mac. Thx
I am!
@@KyleErickson I'm currently using an early 2013 21.5" iMac that runs at 1080p. Will the text on the LG monitor be much smaller or the same size running on a Mac? I've used a friend's M1 iMac 24" machine and the menu bar text seems quite a bit smaller than what I have on my iMac. thx
Is anyone having issues with your remote becoming unpaired?
We run exclusively ATV's in our house. I have 2 Sony and one Samsung TV that have never been allowed to access our Wifi. 'Smart' devices are notorious for being hacking portals and there have been many cases of OEMs doing shady stuff themselves on your netword, such as search and report all file names. Not to mention that processors in 'smart' TVa are hopelessly underpowered.
With ATV I get a very strong processor in a box with a well-proven OS that gets repeatedly updated and patched. I have also paid a 'fair price' for the hardware, meaning I don't have to worry (call me naïve) about Apple recording and selling my data as a primary business model.
I haven't bought the 2022 model yet, but I noticed a significant increase in speed between ATV4K gen1 and gen2, so I'm hoping for the same in gen3.
You might say the A15bionic is ridiculously overpowered for streaming netflix, but so is the engine in your car for going 75 on the freeway. Yes, it's nice to have that horsepower. And the snappy navigation in menus is akin to acceleration in a car.
I have 2 Apple TV 4K one 2017 and one 2021 is it worth it to upgrade too 2022. I love my Apple TV 4K. And the price drop is tempting is it worth it
If you just view content I wouldn't worry about it too much, but it can make a difference just in terms of seamlessness through menus and things like Apple Arcade, or if you have a Samsung TV and you want to use HDR10+
What app was that that showed four different TV channels at one time ?
DAZN
What tcl tv are you using in this video?
R646
Many units disconnect with remote.. disappointed!
Are the apps on the Apple TV 4K better than the ones built into the LG OLED C1?
Would like to know this too
@@kwleedsno, the TV’s native apps will always be configured for the TV and will always look best
Hi, I have the previous generation Apple TV 4k, I don’t play games on it, should I upgrade?
If it works for you and you don’t have any issues I’d say you’re probably good!
What if you don’t have a smart tv ? Does it still work ?
Yup!
You missed the colour matching through your iPhone
It’s in there lol
Apple tv is great. Nice video. smart tv are such a mess with so much lag and clutter and just a way for tv manufactures to sell TV"s at a high price.
If you buy a trash TV sure, but not if you’re buying high-end TVs
@@iCrackr the high end TVs run the same trash OS so what's the difference?
The only thing holding me from getting Apple TV is that it doesn’t support Xbox cloud yet.
1 thing about the app support: Netflix still hasn't gotten around to support their basic plan (with ads) on the Apple TV yet, but this plan is already supported on most devices. It's been months.. what's the hold up?
Also one other thing about app support: Amazon Prime shows buffer a lot more on Apple TV than it does on my Samsung Smart TV, and my Samsung TV's UI is really laggy and slow.
Another critique: Siri is good at voice recognition for typing searches, but is useless for anything else as its not connected to Google. So Siri can't answer the most basic of questions.
The main question is that does the remote work without a lag when the Apple TV is placed behind the tv? The previous 3 Apple TV models had this issue and I have not seen that issue on a $25 firestick or roku.
probably not, but you can use your TV remote to control it through HDMI CEC - that's what I use most of the time, or my iPhone and seems to work a lot better for connectivity and range
No because it’s Bluetooth.
@@cesarbattistini fire tv remote is also Bluetooth and works fine from behind the TV.
@@KyleErickson yeah, I use that sometimes but there is no “home” button so have to select back 5 times to use another app.
@@AG34273 way she goes
Smart TV people are SOO smart 😏
🥁😂
All these Apple honks crack me up. My Apple TV 4k from 2021 has been relegated to a 1080p tv in my office because it ran like absolute trash on my 77 inch LG C2. Matching frame rates and range? Nope, always stayed stuck in HDR mode, weird artifacting on FuboTv. Replaced it with a Fire TV 3rd gen, couldn't be happier.
Mine matches frame rates just fine, maybe you got a dud. Don't know anything about FuboTV, could be the app developer - looking at recent app ratings, seems not great on multiple platforms. Maybe you should message Ryan Reynolds about it.
Sincerely,
- Apple Honk
Honest question: Do you really need a Apple TV if you already have a new smartTV?
you need an apple tv box or an NVidia shield tv box to complete the full effect who wants a brand new tv to end up using the smart tv apps......its a much smoother and better experience with either of them boxes.
Your video is very helpful. Now, I am sure I want to replace my older model Fire stick, especially because I want to get deeper into Apple Arcade with a game controller.
Glad it was helpful!
Are the game and the movie free???
no, Apple Arcade and the streaming platforms I use are all paid. You can download some free streaming services, not sure how good they are though.
Some games are free (think many of the free apps on your iPhone), and some streaming apps are free that stream free movies. Like PlutoTV, etc.
Apple again failed on one part, no Dolby Atmos TrueHD support. Yes, I love to watch Bluray movies through Plex and even the 2019 Nvidia can do it, but it starts to show its slowness. Keeping my hopes up that it will get this update via a firmware update.
How come? Mine did come with a USB-C charging cable in the box.
what is that app the let you run 4 streams at on time ?
DAZN
@@KyleErickson thanks
I’ll stick to my last gen
I own both 2nd and third generation, in terms of image quality! they are exactly the same,you need to upgrade only if you really need more storage ,I bought the 128GB model cause I have lotta games and apps other than that! I’ll keep my 2nd generation
For me the picture and sound is better than second Gen. but this also depends on hardware to see and hear the difference
The only thing it’s missing is a web browser.
After this video, I'm upgrading my 🍎TV. Now for the real question, can it run Elder Scrolls?
Nah my fire tv stick is great
With high end tv, there is no need any external boxes
STILL NO dolby atmos through trueHD… must buy a Nvidia shield for almost half price and support for ALL audio codecs! 😎👍🏻
hey... the lights in the back... make that i cant focus on your face... so maybe change it so a more soft light ..or put lighst on the side instead of the middle ... its just a bit toooo muchhhhhhhhhhhh tnx
HDR10+ is not free it has a cost
I am not everyone, I have no usb c cables laying around... I still have a MacBook Pro from 2015... I'm still using usb a regularly. this is just another way for apple to make money by getting people to buy their cables.
You can buy any Type-C cable. Type-C isn’t Apple
@@iCrackr never said it was, still means that apple purposefully changed to not ship products with cables or chargers, so they can make money off of that!
Similarly, I also don’t have a usb charger, bc I used my iphone 7 until like 2 years ago, and by that time apple stopped shipping new phones with chargers already!
nah apple tv is bad u cant put ur files on it if u want to directly play from apple tv u can only stream which is bad, nvidia shield have usb port while apple tv no.
There's literally a computer app on the Apple TV to play whatever is on your computer.
