Customers appreciate the picture quality of the streaming media player. They say it produces amazing picture and sound, with 60fps 4K HDR footage and Dolby Vision. The picture is breathtaking, and the screensavers are outstanding. It offers 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos Surround Sound when available.

It's slicker and easier to use, and it's the best TV streaming device they've had in their house.

The best Apple TV yet!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2022I did have an ÍøÆغÚÁÏ Fire TV Cube before getting this which had various problems with picture and sound. Was pretty good when it worked properly and cheap.
Then I saw this round a friends house, so I bought one.
This has great picture quality, definitely sharper and better than the Fire TV Cube, no problems (so far) with picture judder like the Fire TV had. Occasionally get lip sync problems like Fire TV but not as often, and it’s usually sorted out by going out of what you’re watching and then starting again, but I very rarely have to do that.
The interface is slick. The remote is nice, rechargeable too.
It has lots of apps, everything I have wanted, and much more.
You can set up Apple Air Max headphones with it too for wireless listening when you don’t want the whole house to hear. This also gives a surround sound feel. Sync can sometimes be an issue but just start again and it usually clears the problem.
You can also get your music and photos to sync to this to play through your tv, or surround sound amp if set up correctly.
This gives 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos Suround Sound when available, as long as your TV/surround amplifier is compatible.
The only downside is the cost, which is quite expensive. But it is probably the best for picture quality and sound out of the different boxes and sticks of this kind. I definitely get sharper pictures with this than my LG oled tv’s apps provide. It’s slicker and easier to use too.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2022I bought this to upgrade from an ÍøÆغÚÁÏ Fire TV and wasn't disappointed. Being a details guy I liked the full 4k user interface, much appreciated after the aforementioned Fire TV. Also nice that Apple don't tend to ram their advertisements down your throat at every opportunity; you can use their Apple services... or not... Your choice. The reliability is also good, have had this for many weeks now and not one single problem over a standard 70mb wireless broadband connection.
The Cons...
Software
--------------
The YouTube app could use a bit more spit & polish as sometimes the UI buttons ('like" and so forth) tend to be unresponsive, requiring you to repeatedly go through the motions etc. Also, the Emby app is greatly reduced in features compared to the ÍøÆغÚÁÏ Fire version, and I'm at a loss to know why 🤔
Hardware
--------------
The remote is very good, has a typically Apple feel of quality and 'mini-heft'... with the exception that a double-click can be rapidly felt when pressing a button (though still registered as a single click, so functionally no problem) but still... why? This comes and goes so I may just be one of the unlucky few to have an eccentric one. But one thing that has me vexed is the side search button. The amount of times I've picked up the remote only to inadvertently launch the search app. I surely can't be the only one with this problem 😄 would be useful if there was a way to disable it altogether in Settings. The remote itself, whilst comfortable enough, is super shy and will escape to an alternate dimension several times per day. I put this down to its unnecessary slim build but also its silver colour makes it hard to spot if (like me) you have light coloured bedding. So we know the remote has some self-esteem issues, but nothing that can't be addressed with a little black-cover-therapy.
So all-round... not a bad little media streamer!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2021This is my fifth Apple TV unit over the years. Always found them to be totally reliable and every change of unit has been an upgrade eagerly sought out.
The Apple TV ecosystem works really well for me. I find regular bargains on the movies and TV stores and now have a decent library that is stupidly simple to access. Also this system gives me access to movies that I had converted to Hard Drive for convenience making for an even larger selection of films, video and now music too.
Whilst you could just use the Apple TV app on most Smart TVs these days, the Apple TV unit seems faster and far more reliable to me. I use it not just for movies, tv shows and music, but increasingly for YouTube, Disney, Netflix, ÍøÆغÚÁÏ Prime and any number of other services. Gaming not so much for me as I use and Xbox, but the gaming I have tried is solid, responsive and a decent array of titles on offer.
Apple TV in my experience is like a microwave oven. You can cook without a microwave, but once you try it you won't be without one ever again. The Apple TV system is that for me. While It doesn't cook dinner it has become a part of life these days and part I don't want to be without if I can help it.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2022After owning a very old generation Apple TV I saw this ÍøÆغÚÁÏ warehouse deal and had to snap it up. I’m very happy I did.
The interface on the Apple TV is lightning fast and you can use all the usual apps such as Netflix, Disney + and ÍøÆغÚÁÏ prime video.
There are too many cool features to go through here but the picture is just breathtaking and the screensavers are particularly great.
If I have one gripe it would be the remote control is a little difficult to get used to because the touch sensitive feel is just so sensitive and sometimes clicking the centre button causes you to move the selected app or option along rathe than select it. However, I hear this is actually an improvement on the previous remote so I’m sure most will find it fine.
