new ways of thinking
new connections
and new industries
more reliable connections and faster response times between devices
It s dramatically simpler to use
facilitate smooth scrolling
snappy animations
Apple is also unique in the way it handles data privacy
easy to use and has multi-user account
the app selection is almost flawless
dedicated button for YouTube makes it easy to access the service
intuitive the on-screen display
button for Netflix makes it easy to access the service
personalized and curated content
colourful
intuitive and responsive
Extremely easy to set up and lots of good movies
Easy to set up and easy to use
Setting Apple TV is straightforward

Siri remains limited to a frustratingly small list of providers and apps
Apple TV 4K still doesn t support bitstream audio passthrough
nondescript black box that calls little attention to itself on a TV stand
Device support is narrower than most other major services
low monthly price
Only selected games will be available for Apple TV Plus subscribers
expensive than other streaming devices
Apple stan and just need a streaming device
Relentless upselling for streaming service subs is annoying
not Dolby Vision as that's
there is no buffering if we watch tv on my macbook
ATV UI is not actually designed in that format
the functionality of the UI is severely flawed
the Colour Balance picture is unsurprisingly warm in tone
he is unresponsive
the driver is dead and Alejandro is not breathing
only select devices
playback resolution dipped noticeably and the episode restarted
Street Sharks is a lie
sort shows by network
Apple does not run ads on any of its content
platform with system-wide picture-in-picture support via AirPlay
None of that makes the price much easier to stomach
tacky banner ads means more room on the screen for apps
then you lose a convenient way to fast forward or rewind through video
lack of Netflix integration remains a profound bummer
regular lag between picture and audio
the thicker remote feels a bit too retro for my liking
Apple TV is not different from the earlier version when it comes to design
televisions where quite dumb
the remote has been changed quite a bit and is much thicker than the last version
very expensive
no Google Cast
it does not support Google Cast
a mostly Spanish-language show that takes place in Miami
an inherently juicy series for a premise
Wallet Pty Ltd is not a bank and does not offer banking services
Not all providers will make 4K content available through Apple TV apps
service does not include all providers or all products available in the market
no support for Foxtel Now
Chromecast With Google TV View more details
some devices may not support all app features such as 4K and surround sound
Does the device support Amazon Prime Video
Charlie Brown holiday specials are not broadcast on traditional TV
small improvements and bug fixes
home cinema system
Apple TV will become a rival for serious game consoles
s not something you can only get by buying the new box
The price is a not inexpensive 55
rolled out retrospectively to older Apple TV hardware
less the mark of revenge than of a frustrated
the remote touch screen is really sensitive and can sometimes be frustrating to use
Product support is poor despite advertised claims
make it harder for a non-Apple ecosystem user
Setting up is very difficult compared to other streaming services
warned - opting out is not easy either)
lack of Flash and now for Apple TV it
it is a mildly frustrating first experience on a new machine
Apple does not offer an HDMI cable inside the box
It is a bit touch sensitive
the playback is slow and sound is slightly delayed)
there is no app for android or Windows

Does apple tv need wifi?
kennith
about 2 years ago
You need an internet connection to set up Apple TV, but not to use it. Obviously, it won't be able to access any on-line content when off-line. And it doesn't gracefully support storing content locally, so you'd need a network to access content.

The company's deep pockets and relationships with other industries give Apple's streaming service an advantage over some competitors. There are many great shows and movies on Apple TV Plus, and in many cases, you can watch the first episode or two of an Apple Original series for free.

John Archer is impressed by the new Apple TV – especially its remote – but questions how much of an upgrade it is from what’s gone before Having taken four years to come up with a sequel  to its 4K streaming box, the hope has to be that Apple  has delivered a really substantial upgrade. So let’s get  right into picking out where the differences lie. The most instantly obvious – and welcome – improvement is the Siri remote control.
