Its not underrated, its expensive for majority of the people to spend on a tv box, outside USA its even more expensive. Now only new price are less but it wasn't before, u will see people buying apple tv box more now
Solid Video. The black screen for the first few seconds of youtube videos drive me nuts on my 2021 apple 4k tv. I am also trying to phase out every lightening item possible....
Much appreciated! Yes, I’d prefer having Match Content on, but I can’t handle the black screens. Here’s hoping current TVs can get the new feature, rather than having to buy new ones!
I'm hoping that Apple releases an Apple game controller. I'm spoiled with apple products that connect to all my devices like the AirPods. When I want to move my game controller from my Mac to my Apple TV I end up needing to look up the instructions on how to start the pairing.
There is a fix for the black screen on YouTub and all the other apps i had that same problem but I figured it out its easy and simple Go to settings audio/video then change it to SDR 60 but have the match content and dynamic settings on so if u play any video that is 4k or HD will match that content
I wish they put the pause button where the mute button is on the new remote. Being used to the old remote, I click mute thinking I paused the film and walk off.
To me it seems like the main reason to get it would be for arcade games. Which personally don’t care about. I have n older Samsung tv and I get all the apps I need from it. I would be curious to see if there is an improvement on the movie content viewed on it vs tv streaming apps.
Assuming they’re using H265 for the compression of UHD streaming, and since the average 4K UHD movie with Dolby Atmos is about 60-70Gb, and H265 compresses that down to about 3-5Gb on average… I’d say quite a long time still.
What is the life of the apple tv remote as the batteries are non replaceable? will the TV be useless without the remote? Also will all features work with a monitor, specially volume control?
I have one that’s several years old and has only needed to be charged 3-4 times with daily use. If it breaks or dies you can order a new remote from apple, or use the built-in remote app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch! I’ve never used it with a monitor tho.
Not to mention shield has better upscaling and the ability to sideload any app you could ever want. I use quite a few sideloaded apps on my shield so that’s the deal breaker for me since I can’t use them on an Apple TV. That’s why I was surprised to hear him say this was the best streaming box out there. Maybe he hasn’t heard of the shield?
I don't know why so many people care. I have a Blu Ray player. Seems so much simpler than Plex. Until streaming services adopt lossless audio (and when is that happening?) it seems like a very niche thing and that's probably why Apple and Roku and Amazon don't seem to be bothering with it.
@@BookClubDisaster can your blu ray player play mkv and other high quality video files from a PC? Honest question. If it can, then the benefit is that people don’t need to buy a separate piece of hardware to play their high quality video files, they can just download a free piece of software that does everything they need.
@@BookClubDisaster ok so to explain what he’s talking about is people have these really large libraries of high quality video files on hard drives such as blu ray video files because they like the higher quality video as well as audio streams like Dolby TrueHD. With the shield, they can stream these files to their home entertainment system and get the highest quality audio available. The shield is the only streaming device that can do that right now.
Apple TV 4K *does* support Dolby Atmos in TrueHD as long as your TV provides eARC HDMI. See the Apple support document entitled "Set up Dolby Atmos or surround sound on Apple TV with a sound bar or AV receiver".
@@deasystems NOPE!!!...... It does support Dolby Atmos in Dolby Digital Plus (lossy format)...... Is doesn't support Dolby Atmos in TRUEHD(Lossless format) and DTS-HD(Lossless format) unfortunately. The above document refers to set up Dolby Atmos, which the previous Apple TV could do as well and have nothing to do with Dolby Atmos in TRUEHD. Thank you anyway.
@@eatmyshorts110 : That's not what I interpret based on "Hard Rain"''s posting to the Apple discussions thread entitled "Does the ATV 4K support TrueHD Atmos?". See also the article entitled "A Deep Dive Into Dolby MAT" on the avproedge site.
I live y Apple TV but when I press the power button it doesn’t go straight to my Apple TV it goes straight to my fore tv for some reason. Maybe it’s a setting in my fore tv but I can’t find it so it’s annoying and I have to change the input every time. Does anyone know what setting I need to change on my fire tv if that is what it is ?
Tbh I also use the apps on Samsung tv and tried the new Apple TV and realized that the apps on Samsung looked better , so no point keeping the Apple TV . The extra bits really aren’t worth it if you have the 4k box and especially if you don’t own a Samsung
Do you have it connected to the G2 first, or via the Denon AVR? I tried the latter with the 2021 Apple TV 4K because my LG C1 doesn’t do true audio pass through, but this setup seemed to make the dreaded black-screen delay worse. Deal breaker for me so I ended up returning the Apple TV.
I have the Apple TV plugged directly into the receiver, and then receiver into TV. I do have an open HDMI on the TV though (I have the receiver, Xbox Series X, and PS5 direct into the TV) so maybe I should give that a shot!
Great overview, thanks for posting! I just got mine yesterday and it is really nice. The only big bummer is the fact that Siri cannot search or tune into channels on TH-cam TV, even though I've listed this service as my TV source. Supposedly this feature does work with Hulu and Sling, or at least that is what others say on forums. I was able to change channels with my voice on TH-cam TV with Fire TV via Alexa. In any case, I am happy with the product and for having done the switch, especially since I recently became an Apple ecosystem convert (from Windows/Android....lol). And I had no clue that there was a bible app!! LOL Cheers!
Why didn't you mention the AirPlay capabilities? The built in AirPlay on my Sony Bravia OLED TV is such a pain. There's no way to play video without constant stutters. Also the picture qualitiy when watching photos is horrible (Mac & iPhone). So how does this compare to the new Apple TV?
I’m sorry, but I feel you don’t get, what is going on there. Yes, the display going black is annoying, but this has to happen, due to switching over the signal to another refresh rate of the display. And with the receiver as yet another device in between, you have 3 devices to sync up for the new framerate and that will naturally take some time. This is not an issue with the Apple TV, but a necessary thing happening.
It isn’t necessary, as QMS VRR aims to fix the issue. It does the same if the Apple TV is plugged directly into the TV with no receiver. I had a 30 minute conversation with both Apple and LG about this very issue and the fix that is coming. What makes you think I didn’t understand it?
How can I stream HDR10 files wirelessly to Apple TV 4K in HDR? The “Computers” app on the Apple TV 4K plays the file, but dims the HDR mode. Any way to work around this?
Question: I’m assuming that the AppleTV will have to use my hdmi arc. That being said, isn’t it true that I will then have to separately power on, and control my surround sound with the surround remote?
I have LG's top of the line 2022 OLED. Almost any box I have tried (Roku, Google, Apple, etc.) blows LG's webOS away in speed. The Apple TV also doubles as a Thread border router for Matter/smart home devices, games like I showed in the video, home notifications and camera monitoring, etc.

I would love to be able to download my favorite movies in Atmos and 4K for backup incase there’s no network so I can still watch stuff. I have the last model and I’m kinda disappointed in the game store too. I think this thing can run a lot more games but people aren’t moving them to the platform. I’d love to play some of the games from my iPad on my tv with the gaming controller. I don’t hate the old remote and it turns my tv and theater on and off by way of sleep and pressing the button next to menu but I hate that it’s all over the place when scrolling TH-cam sometimes or movies. I have to keep going out and back into the movie selection because it gets stuck on one side or the other and I can’t scroll to the right or left in movies. But seriously even the old 4K works well now that it has Atmos. It’s all we use. We have thousands of movies on iTunes so we use it full time for our entertainment.
yeh apple tv upscales but its all going on in the background theres no buttons to click and make a comparsion i've had apple tv and shield i have both in my house but the main one for me is the shield because well i like dolby atmos...and i feel like apple tv doesn't give you the best sound its compressed both the boxes sound totally different when you play the same tunes out the same soundbar if you don't care aboutt sound then apple tv is best i prefer apple ui because the shield has big google ads...but you can't have everything you need to pick your poison kinda like everything really.......
Not sure it's worth the upgrade for me yet although it's not all that much money for an Apple product. I have the last gen in my living room and the prior 4k gen in my bedroom and I bought the additional new style remote for the bedroom too. The only annoying thing the current gen does is when I first turn it on it goes to a black screen after a few seconds to switch to Dolby Vision. Would the new model still do that?
Turn off Dolby Vision…set video to 4K sdr, turn on match content range and frame…this will change to Dolby Vision when Dolby content is the source automatically.
I use to watch Apple TV 2nd gen on my LG 38WN95C (3850 x 1600) - seems like the output there support only 4k but at a fixed ratio at 16:9 - It seems like it is unable to fill the screen. Has this changed with the current version?
Can you cast browser videos and just a browser with Apple TV? Been thinking about getting one. But my smart tv already has TH-cam 4K and streaming apps. One thing lacking is the browser.
Anybody actually have empirical and subjective performance reviews for AV, AirPlay, audio and bugs? All I see is regurgitation of the boilerplate spec sheet
Are the Homepod Mini worth it (if I get 2 of them) to use them with Apple TV? So far I only use the internal tv speakers, i would love to get the regular HomePods but i can only buy them used and they are expensive, round about 350€ each.
Genuine question from a Google TV 4K user, why would you need 128gb of storage for a streaming device, when my Chromecast, many Fire sticks and Roku's have approx 8gb?
You can store games on it. For example, NBA 2K23 that I showed in this video is about 8.5GB in size, so just that single app wouldn't fit on any of those devices you mentioned at 8GB.
Kind of BS they removed the Ethernet port. That is fully meant to push people to the more expensive model when the port itself probably costs pennies. Anyone wanting the best quality and no risk of network slow down will want that option. I guess the pricing correction makes it a little more acceptable. Still, removing Ethernet connection is silly.
If I had to wager a guess, I bet over 85% of people use their Apple TV on Wi-Fi, and only those "in the know" use Ethernet like you and I. But hey, like you said, it's $70 cheaper now for 64GB but you lose the port, and you can have it for just $20 more than base...so in that respect I agree it's silly, but also glad it's a minimal cost to get it (I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a $50 jump to 128GB!)
Very disappointing. 1. no coaxial output for audio streaming (tidal, qobuz, spotify), 2. no 8K support for youtube 8K content, 3. huge pricerise of Apple TV service. No way!
the only step forward when it comes to apple will be… sideloading apps. until then, which is never, no bueno. no matter the bells and whistles. oh, and expandable storage. also, never. lol.
Everything I mentioned in the review remains the same, with the one exception of setup. Instead of the wireless auto-setup where it grabs the info from your iPhone, you just type it in manually. So setup will take maybe an extra 3 minutes or so. But after initial setup, it’s all the same, no iPhone required.
Sorry but the gaming experience simply does NOT compare to anything like the Xbox, PS4/5 platforms and the actual Arcade content is seriously lacking. Who ever pays and monthly fee for that service isnt playing with full charged controller......
@@Andru actually, I did say charger, but I get your point. I have one USB-C to USB-C cable that only comes out for an iPhone battery pack currently. I have two chargers - one connected to the new Watch cable and the other goes to work with me. So it appear that I do have what I need for this remote, but I am a real nerd. I’d hate to be an average user get this only to discover that they need to buy a $25 charger and $15 cable.
@@Andru Apple's 4k: it often freezes and requires resets, reboots, and that doesn't even count the crazy things it often does whenever a new software update appears. I wish I could trade in my Spectrum TV account, which requires this thing, and instead use my old tried and true Xfinity box that was trouble-free.
Th EU has passed a law forcing every manufacturer including Apple to only use USB -C. Not sure if this applies to UK yet because the wonder that is Brexit. 🇬🇧😡

Does the Apple TV have any AI upscaling? I read that the Shield has great upscaling, so just curious if Apple does anything similar.
yeh apple tv upscales but its all going on in the background theres no buttons to click and make a comparsion i've had apple tv and shield i have both in my house but the main one for me is the shield because well i like dolby atmos...and i feel like apple tv doesn't give you the best sound its compressed both the boxes sound totally different when you play the same tunes out the same soundbar if you don't care aboutt sound then apple tv is best i prefer apple ui because the shield has big google ads...but you can't have everything you need to pick your poison kinda like everything really.......
I'm a huge apple fan. I've tried all the other streaming devices and they just do compare to the apple tv, it's not even close.
Roku is best
what about the audio quality, like is there any difference when compare to last ten models. No one is talking about audio quality.......
It does Dolby Atmos, so it doesn’t get much better than that. I have it filling my 13 speakers and 2 subwoofers with sound.
I want Apple to release a Apple TV live service.
I have two payments lefty on my apple tv 4k 2021.... Grrr
Will get one
Not sure it's worth the upgrade for me yet although it's not all that much money for an Apple product. I have the last gen in my living room and the prior 4k gen in my bedroom and I bought the additional new style remote for the bedroom too. The only annoying thing the current gen does is when I first turn it on it goes to a black screen after a few seconds to switch to Dolby Vision. Would the new model still do that?
Turn off Dolby Vision…set video to 4K sdr, turn on match content range and frame…this will change to Dolby Vision when Dolby content is the source automatically.
No it doesn’t
If the apple tv allow audio bypass, it will be great.
I have an Apple TV. I never use it. My smart tv does everything I want.
I use to watch Apple TV 2nd gen on my LG 38WN95C (3850 x 1600) - seems like the output there support only 4k but at a fixed ratio at 16:9 - It seems like it is unable to fill the screen. Has this changed with the current version?
or in other words, does it support ultrawide?
I wonder if this can see a nas server in your house? Do you know if this does?
If you install the Plex app or something similar then it will
Can you cast browser videos and just a browser with Apple TV? Been thinking about getting one. But my smart tv already has TH-cam 4K and streaming apps. One thing lacking is the browser.
You can cast a browser window from a Mac or iOS device for sure
Your tv probably has a mirror screen function
Is it better than oled native apps in terms of quality
Oh absolutely. I feel like most smart TV apps are trash and soon become afterthoughts a few months after the TV is released.
@@Andru thank you so much for replying ❤ I’ve ordered mine now 🎉
Anybody actually have empirical and subjective performance reviews for AV, AirPlay, audio and bugs? All I see is regurgitation of the boilerplate spec sheet
Are the Homepod Mini worth it (if I get 2 of them) to use them with Apple TV? So far I only use the internal tv speakers, i would love to get the regular HomePods but i can only buy them used and they are expensive, round about 350€ each.
2 HomePod minis in a stereo pair will definitely sound better than typical TV speakers!
@@Andru Thanks! Gonna treat myself with the new Apple TV and two HomePod minis :)
@@Nookiezillaor save a little and get a Sonos ray or beam (they work with airplay and you can add a subwoofer down the line)
Only drawback on this new model is that it doesn’t support 120
Genuine question from a Google TV 4K user, why would you need 128gb of storage for a streaming device, when my Chromecast, many Fire sticks and Roku's have approx 8gb?
You can store games on it. For example, NBA 2K23 that I showed in this video is about 8.5GB in size, so just that single app wouldn't fit on any of those devices you mentioned at 8GB.
@@Andru Ok thanks. Does the larger variant have a USB also?
@@GRIFF22 nope! Just power, HDMI, and Ethernet!
@@Andru Thanks. So assuming you want to store plenty of games, then you're better of with the 64gb and then expand the storage?
The AppleTV would be a great upgrade if the only thing they changed was the remote. The old remote was one of the worst remotes ever made.
If your smart TV supports Apple TV why would you need the Apple TV box? What does the Apple TV box do that my smart TV won't.
I specifically went over this question in the video, no? Let me know which part you had more questions on and I’ll do my best to answer!
Which segment did you answer this?
Kind of BS they removed the Ethernet port. That is fully meant to push people to the more expensive model when the port itself probably costs pennies.
Anyone wanting the best quality and no risk of network slow down will want that option.
I guess the pricing correction makes it a little more acceptable. Still, removing Ethernet connection is silly.
If I had to wager a guess, I bet over 85% of people use their Apple TV on Wi-Fi, and only those "in the know" use Ethernet like you and I. But hey, like you said, it's $70 cheaper now for 64GB but you lose the port, and you can have it for just $20 more than base...so in that respect I agree it's silly, but also glad it's a minimal cost to get it (I wouldn't have been surprised if it was a $50 jump to 128GB!)
Don’t forget the Nvidia Shield pro
Great product!
Very disappointing. 1. no coaxial output for audio streaming (tidal, qobuz, spotify), 2. no 8K support for youtube 8K content, 3. huge pricerise of Apple TV service. No way!
You’re rich enough to get an 8k tv?
the only step forward when it comes to apple will be… sideloading apps. until then, which is never, no bueno. no matter the bells and whistles. oh, and expandable storage. also, never. lol.
What if you don't have an iPhone. What makes Apple TV worth it on Android
Buy a roku 😂
Everything I mentioned in the review remains the same, with the one exception of setup. Instead of the wireless auto-setup where it grabs the info from your iPhone, you just type it in manually. So setup will take maybe an extra 3 minutes or so. But after initial setup, it’s all the same, no iPhone required.
I literally watched this whole video and understood maybe 20% of what he was talking about.
Sorry but the gaming experience simply does NOT compare to anything like the Xbox, PS4/5 platforms and the actual Arcade content is seriously lacking. Who ever pays and monthly fee for that service isnt playing with full charged controller......
With android you just plug chromecast and stream pirate pages with free movies, but with apple its 5k dollars to achieve same effect
Sup Mister Andru and everyone
everything is small change.. so no big step forward....
Did you hit the lottery or something, 85 inch G2 what a joke
Don’t use Apple TV any more because my LG 77 inch OLED TV have the apps built in also have ITunes.
tvOS is much more. it is co-op games, fast switching apps, HomeKit hub. Just saying
Great, need *another* USB-C charger.
No thanks. I’ll stick with last year’s for now.
You definitely shouldn’t need another cord for a device that you only need to charge 2 times per year for about 30 minutes each charge, no?
@@Andru actually, I did say charger, but I get your point. I have one USB-C to USB-C cable that only comes out for an iPhone battery pack currently. I have two chargers - one connected to the new Watch cable and the other goes to work with me.
So it appear that I do have what I need for this remote, but I am a real nerd. I’d hate to be an average user get this only to discover that they need to buy a $25 charger and $15 cable.
Still buggy
What is?
@@Andru Apple's 4k: it often freezes and requires resets, reboots, and that doesn't even count the crazy things it often does whenever a new software update appears. I wish I could trade in my Spectrum TV account, which requires this thing, and instead use my old tried and true Xfinity box that was trouble-free.
Th EU has passed a law forcing every manufacturer including Apple to only use USB -C. Not sure if this applies to UK yet because the wonder that is Brexit. 🇬🇧😡
