Should You Buy an Apple TV in 2024????
Ғылым және технология
The Apple TV has been around for a while and the question has come up, Should you buy an Apple TV in the year 2024? With all of the smart TVs and the other streaming boxes like the Fire TV, Google Chrome Cast, and Roku TV, it can be hard to figure out which one we should buy. In this video, I go over the good bad, and the ugly of the Apple TV.

I didn't see the video but the answer is yes A15 bionic in a TV box is overkill but I plan on keeping it for 5 more years so I'm happy with it

I agree with you! I think that the A15 is overkill but its great to know that it will last a long time and will continue to get updates.
I recently made the switch from firetv to Apple TV. I’m very pleased with the Apple TV experience. It’s expensive but you get what you pay for. The integration between iPhone, Apple Watch and MacBook is nice too.

I have Apple TV 4K, I have tried other streaming devices in similar price range. It’s still the best. Biggest thing for me is more privacy and almost no ads

@@dannyumana143 Me too. Hahaha! Had a Shield Pro but it’s not as smooth as the Apple TV 4K. I gave it to my son and patiently awaiting the next Apple TV upgrade. What the Shield Pro has over the Apple TV is support for almost all sound codecs. The only one it probably doesn’t support is OPUS but I’m not sure. It definitely doesn’t support the AV1 video codec (Apple TV ✅). I hope Apple TV will support them too in the near future.
you can actually change what the TV button does on the remote. if you go to settings and then remote and devices and go to TV button you can change it to take you back to the home screen and not the Apple TV app.

I was on the fence about buying the AppleTV 4k w/ethernet. I ended up buying it because I was fed up with Amazon's firestick being so slow. Once you get through the settings, setting up the home screen, setting up users (myself only), logging into my streaming services, everything was just as you expect an Apple product to be. I do love being able to connect my AirPods Pro!
After around a year of procrastination, I just got a 4K ethernet one. That means they'll announce one in June/July's WWDC then! But for now, very happy with it. Very fast and slick. Easy to setup. You didn't mention that the Apple 4K really does improve streaming picture quality. Also really nice to have a way to play Apple Music directly without needing to use the iPhone.
wow you look GOOD !!!
I bought the Apple TV 4k about 3 weeks ago and couldn't get past the two factor authentication process. After three days of trying to log in with no success I took it back and got the Nvidia Shield pro. I've been using the Roku ultra for years and never had any issues with it but wanted to try something different, especially since I use the apple TV and the apple music apps anyway. The worst part is that I believe that I'd love the Apple TV 4k if I just could have gotten past the two factor authentication.
Yes..I bought it one month back 😅

Had a nice plasma for several years, later gave it to my realtor and her husband and they love it. I used the Fire Stick for a while, and without any 1:1 advice, bought my first Apple TV!!!. When they loaded the Plasma into their (Mercedes SUV) the installer arrived and mounted my new Samsung 55" OLED on the wall. Within several minutes I was almost overwhelmed with the annoying software, useless ads, and other gimmicks. I went to bed, got up mid-morning and plugged my ethernet into the Apple TV. KABLAM- what a relief. I should have known, as I am a dedicated Apple user, and have (given to me at no cost) a Mac Classic II. It's fun. Looking forward to the next A TV release. At that time, I'm going to get an M1 or M2 MacBook Pro. Have a 2015 MBP, maxed out Retina, that is running like it was brand new. All that aside, your KZread video was well done and informative.

Have just bought a old apple tv 4k for £40 in the uk. Like the fact the interface is simple and straight forward to use. Like thy fact thay the interface is smooth. Found the quality in the shows tonbe better than the amazon firestick and the fact that the device changes the frame rate. For a device to me which offers the same sort of features a nividia shield am impressed. Am not a apple fan but do lime the apple tv 4k.

I am looking at buying one even though I'm NOT in the Apple ecosystem. Why? Simply because I want to move away from Sky TV and there is an app on Apple tv called 'TV Launcher' which is exclusive to Apple products and curates all your live TV into one programme guide. When you select a certain programme it automatically launches the appropriate app and plays the selected content. In other words tv over ip. And it is so fast you barely notice the app launching in the background. There is nothing else in the market that does this and the app is very feature rich. I'll wait for the new version of Apple tv though, which will probably drop next month. Great video by the way!

I have the Apple TV with ethernet and it is excellent but for one thing. Setting it up without an iphone or ipad is a labour of love. I got there as there is no way i was going to buy an iphone just to setup the TV box. It is way better than Amazons devices that like to spy on you, and if you have an older TV that still gives a good picture, buy one, the difference is like night and day in the way it operates.

I am a non Apple user and do not own any apple devices. I would like to subscribe to Apple TV+ but they make it near impossible unless you are already locked into the apple ecosystem. So if they are going to be like this on a simple subscription service then there is no way in heck that I would buy an Apple TV device and risk having the same problems.
Update to 17.5.1 just bricked my Apple TV 4K. Fortunately still within the return period. Took it back and just using the apps on my TV itself for now. Had quite a few glitches with the Apple TV 4K, worked them out eventually and now it just died. Apple support wasn’t able to help resolve the problem either. RIP Apple 4K 😢

I think that they will release a new one this year. Being that the most recent Apple TV that we have was released in 2022. To me, it would make sense to do so.
I disagree. I think the remote sucks. I’ve had an Apple TV for years the actual TV software is great and it puts any smart TV to shame but the remote They need to work on that the remote they had a few years back was better they made it worse. They also need to fix the karaoke feature it’s not well thought out and it’s basically useless. If you like karaoke and I live in the Philippines and karaoke is a thing.
