    I finally upgraded my Apple TV from a Gen 1 version. So much happier now! Product is easy to use, functionality is great and video quality is high. Was easy to add in all streaming apps so I use this as the main interface for all my streaming entertainment. Interface with my iphone was seamless and allows me to fully control the device from my phone. Logging into apps defaults to phone for entering username and password - much easier than using the remote. Remote also controls TV power and volume which is helpful.

    Been using it for a few weeks now, haven't had an Apple tv in a few years. Been using the Nvidia Shield, but decided to switch to Apple because they support HDR 10+ and the Shield hasn't had an update in 4 years. Apple tv is known for their picture quality while Shield is known for their audio quality. The build of the Apple tv is nice, I do like how they have buttons and a touch sensor on the remote. The interface is fairly intuitive after playing with the remote for a few minutes. My one disappointment with it so far is that Apple tv is either slow to loading apps and movies, or it'll get stuck loading something and I have to back out and re-select what I wanted to watch. The kids love the Apple tv and the games that they have access to, but not sure if I'm going to keep using it if these problems don't go away. The Shield is an excellent and powerful device, just wish they would update it from 2019. With that being said, I would still recommend the Apple TV for most users.

    Huge Upgrade to my TV (128 GB Edition)

    I purchased this Apple TV a couple of weeks ago. It works flawlessly with your other Apple devices. I love the features: the Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos sound is amazing and is a huge upgrade to my regular smart LG TV. Great quality and smoothness, especially navigating through all the apps and screens, this makes a huge difference compared to a fire stick or if using the smart hub that comes on the standard tv's. Lastly, the integration of the Apple ecosystem is great, such as having different accounts, using apple music for some Karaoke, facetime, and the most useful to me is using my Airpods. I am able to watch anything I like with the sound coming through my airpods instead of my TV/Speakers, and can even connect multiple airpods at a time.

    The Apple TV is the best! It works seamlessly with all my streaming and I can take it mobile with me as I travel. Controlling it is very smooth and the fact that I can even integrate it with my Apple ecosystem is even better but by itself it is so much better in streaming quality and any other product I’ve used in the past.

    I’ve used a Xbox for the last 10 years and always thought it was just fine. The Apple TV is much faster and easier to use. The remote works great and collects via Bluetooth so doesn’t require line of sight. The Apple TV uses hdmi cec and auto turns on my television and audio receiver and automatically controls the audio volume on the receiver. Integration with Apple ecosystem / iPhone and photos is a nice addition.

    I got this to replace a 6+ year old second gen Fire TV and am absolutely blown away. It is so fast and responsive compared to what I was used to. I do not have it hooked up to a 4k tv, but I feel the picture quality is improved also. They do not include the cord to charge the remote, which is a common thing with Apple these days. Mine came 85% charged and you can also use your phone as a remote in the event you don't have a USB-C cord laying around. I do like that the circle button the remote doubles as a trackpad, scrolling is so easy.

    I purchased this because my LG TV began to show ads on the idle screen and the apps on the TV were beginning to run very slow. The Apple TV was really the answer here. All the apps run super quick and smooth. Easy to customize and you can link your phone up as a remote. The picture quality is amazing. Very happy with the Apple TV!

    If you're like me, you absolutely hate most televisions' onboard operating systems and user interfaces. This is the main reason to get an AppleTV. This little box has many amazing features. But the most important one is that it just plain works. And works quickly. Plus the Siri feature on here is 10x what it is on any other Apple product. I highly recommend watching videos on the features. It might seem like a superfluous purchase but, trust me, it's not.

    Love the Apple TV 4K. Spent years with the Firestick. While nice, you could instantly see the difference in speed, user interface, smoothness and storage. If you’re an Apple user, this is a seamless transition. And Apple TV plus has some great programming. Apple fitness, Apple Music. All integrated and simple to use and navigate. Third party apps work flawlessly as well. I was on the fence for a couple of years and finally took the plunge. Now I want another for our second tv.

    Best High Quality Video Streamer

    These generate the best 4K video among all my options including the TV’s built-in apps. They also run pretty much all apps I can think of for watching and I find the UI is clean. That’s the good. However, AppleTVs are a bit pricey and Apple has obsoleted prior versions which always has me a little hesitant. For my “home theater” settings with higher end TVs, I use AppleTVs. For the rest, I use FireTV sticks or a TV’s built-in apps.

    The Apple TV 128GB is a powerhouse in the streaming world, and it has quickly become the crown jewel of my entertainment system. The increased storage capacity allows me to download more apps and games than ever, ensuring I’m never at a loss for entertainment options. The interface is as sleek and intuitive as you’d expect from Apple, making navigation a breeze—even for my technophobic relatives. The picture and sound quality are top-notch, transforming my living room into a mini-cinema that rivals the local theater. AirPlay is a standout feature, seamlessly mirroring content from my other Apple devices. It’s perfect for impromptu photo slideshows or streaming a presentation in crystal clear definition. But what truly sets the Apple TV 128GB apart is its integration within the Apple ecosystem. The synchronization with iCloud, Apple Music, and the App Store is flawless, creating a user experience that’s both unified and expansive. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a streaming device that offers vast storage, superb performance, and elegant user interaction, the Apple TV 128GB is your best bet. It’s not just an entertainment device; it’s an enhancement to your digital lifestyle.

    The picture quality is excellent, everything loads fast, and the interface is smooth. Having Ethernet makes streaming even more reliable. Definitely worth it if you want the best streaming device.

    Way better than the TV's smart functions!

    I will never use an iPhone for my personal phone. But, Apple products in other categories just can't be beat. I've been using an xbox on one tv, and the smart functions on my bedroom tv. The tv in my bedroom is a Samsung and it's a beautiful picture, but the apps are always needing me to re-sign in. It's become too annoying. So, why not try Apple TV! I actually love watching Apple TV shows & movies. For what it offers, I believe the price is great. It's small enough to hide. I've added all the apps I normally use for viewing movies and series. For the short time I've had it, I could absolutely get another to replace the xbox. I love that the remote isn't obnoxious. The touch functions on it are a plus. I love that it immediately recognizes my homepod mini AND that I can send the audio to the homepod for better listening. I'm actually awaiting another homepod mine to arrive today, so I can set up stereo sound. I haven't checked out the other apps and options, but when I have time, I certainly will. I'd recommend this to everyone!

    No adds , fast , works well with other Apple products, for example being able to use your phone as a remote and also screen share and stream from your phone ! Also must add using AirPods while someone may be asleep is a must !

    I don’t know a different streaming device could make my TVs picture quality look so much better. Not just for apple shows, but for everything. Of course it connects to my HomePod so sound is better than normal tv speakers and the remote is way beyond any streaming stick remote I’ve used. I was really on the fence about paying this much for a streaming box, but I have no regrets.

    If you’re in the Apple ecosystem I can’t suggest this enough. Smart TVs come with their own software but these are mini computers - fast, decent picture quality, and the ease of using AirPods to watch movies without waking up the house is a plus.

    In comparison to a cheap Android streaming device, this Apple TV device seems more stable and feels faster. I like the fact that the home page is very simple without any ads. You have to get used to the track pad at first. I ended up disabling it in the settings because my family members were annoyed with it. The remote feels cold due to its metal frame but works well. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this device.
