Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

You get shortcuts to continue where you left off, without even having to open a specific app. Apple music integration. It's nice not having to connect my phone via bluetooth anymore.

More apps and games than roku. Snappy & no bugs or stutters after the initial issue mentioned above. Apple tv 4k gives you the ability to stream virtually anything in dolbyvision. Onkyo avr with 5. Avr is a great alternative to roku.



Cons

Apple promises updates to these units, and it updates frequently, but the! Apple wants me to drive 150 miles to an apple service and then what? Just a flat 2005’s 5. Apple's answer is to blame third party apps third party hardware and software.

Main features are buggy or flat out do not work. No connectivity by wifi, ethernet, or hdmi. Every day something has to login again.

Audio is constantly out of sync with the video play back. Dolby digital surround sounds compressed, and the directional cues are less dynamic. My roku and sonos streamers sound so much better. You can look on the internet for all of the complaints abo...  Read More

The apps are all fantastic, as you'd expect if you've ever used an apple product.


The picture quality is not as high as expected on the projector website.


Only apple was playing the broadcasters on the front speaker with the surround on my six others.

Price


To be fair, it’s for apple tv only and the price reflects that.


Pretty disappointed they are still price gouging.


I found apple is selling at a lower price.

Competitiveness


I replaced my firestick with this apple tv because i was having lagging issues even when connected to firestick via ethernet cable.


I used it in conjunction with t-mobile “through the air” home internet.


Probably could have gotten cheaper or used one for the price.


And waaaay more expensive, like 3 times the price of the competition.
