Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Apple TV 4K with Ethernet stands out because it combines high performance, premium video/audio quality, stable wired networking, and deep integration with the Apple ecosystem. It’s not just a streamer — it’s a versatile media hub capable of powering a serious home theater or a smart-home setup. For users who value smooth performance, reliable streaming, and long-term support, this is one of the greatest streaming devices available.

The BEST streaming device you will every buy! My LG Smart TV has a horrible UI that is slow, unresponsive, and painful to use. After buying this, it made streaming so easy and much easier to use. It has only a few buttons on the remote (which is great for me) and it is very easy to learn how to navigate. I highly reccomend, 10/10 device!

Blazing-fast A15 Bionic chip, stunning HDR10+ & Dolby Vision, and immersive Dolby Atmos make this a top-tier streaming device. The Siri Remote is sleek, navigation is smooth, and AirPlay + HomeKit integration is seamless. With Ethernet, Thread support, and ample 128GB storage, it’s perfect for streaming, gaming, and smart home setups. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, this is a must-have! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Highly Recommended!

I’ve had this Apple TV for a while now and I will say it is the BEST streaming product. Whether it’s Fire TV, Roku, it beats all of them! It has a sleek interface and is very organized and I’ve experienced no lag with any platforms or shows that I watch. It’s a must buy and it will last you for a long time

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.

I was struggling with the speed on my Smart TV apps and the time/quality to run programs I wanted to watch. My friend turned me on to Apple TV due to its efficient user interface and the speed to quickly watch my programs. I am blown away on how it has transformed my older 4K tv, extending its life to get the best of all worlds. I highly recommend this product.

Absolutely essential for the highest quality streaming experience you can get. Even moreso with all of the garbage that comes built into modern TVs.

We added a newer TV to our bedroom so I moved the 2nd generation AppleTV 4k in there and picked up a 3rd generation for our living room. We went with the ethernet model since our place is hardwired everywhere. Much smaller and the remote now uses USB-C versus lightning port which is nice. Setup is a breeze once you already have a pre-existing AppleTV setup. It will ask if you want to use the same settings/apps and it will even configure it to look exactly the same and stay in sync at all times. Newer model is definitely a bit faster in certain playback and a touch snappier on the interface.

I have tried all other streaming devices and a few different TV operating systems and while most are ok, the some TV is amazing nothing freezes on me like with Roku or slow like some Amazon Fire sticks, being able to locate my remote with my phone is something I’d been wanting for a long time and controlling Apple TV with iPhone is easier than any third party app with all the other streamers.

I recently got my hands on the Apple TV and am impressed with it. The interface is incredibly user-friendly, and the app selection is excellent, providing access to a wide range of streaming services and entertainment options. The picture quality is top-notch, delivering crisp and colorful visuals. The remote control is well-designed and intuitive, and I appreciate the seamless integration with other Apple devices. Overall, the Apple TV has exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a premium streaming experience.

There are tons of streaming boxes, but with the Apple TV, it is absolutely so quick by just telling Siri which streaming service you want and immediately goes to it. It gets even better if you have Apple products like the AirPods and an iPhone. With AirPods, it allows you to connect so easily and displays its Dolby audio feature. With iPhone and traveling if you wanna take it on the go, you are able to cast whatever you want since it has airplay. With other products you can’t really do that because the actual device has to connect to Wi-Fi by signing in and if you have iPhone, it automatically shares Wi-Fi directly to the Apple TV 4k. If you have the budget, I would absolutely recommend.

Quick, sleek and minimal ads on the home screen. Helps the TV focus on giving the best picture while it handles all the little things. Would definitely recommend this over the built in smart systems as they are getting more and more congested with ads, which causes the overall system to feel sluggish.

Nice upgrade from an older non-4k model. Everything that you expect from Apple interface and quality. This is a lot smoother than the 2nd gen, non 4-k that it replaced. Beautiful, vibrant colors, synced perfectly with my account, easy to use and loving the new remote. The older remote was harder to use as it has a track pad and it wasnt always accurate. This is a nice upgrade. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

it works perfect and the remote control is lovely the metal materials and color give the sensation that is a heavy dury item. a really fast and easy to guget manipulate

This is THE BEST streaming device I have ever owned and I am NOT a big Apple guy! I have Samsung phones and a Mac laptop. It is super fast, streams perfectly in HD or Atmos and the sound is terrific. I only bought it becauae my Roku Ultra suddenly stopped Streaming Apple TV app and I couldn't log back in until just last week. I love being able to keep different Apps open and can quickly navigate to other shows across several apps. I love the "what did they say?" feature and Appple TV will rewind 20 seconds and momentarily turn on closed captioning. $50 more than the Roku Ultra but worth it! With its advanced processor I expect it to last a long time, but with Apple's dreaded built in experation flaws (like dying batteries on our ipad) you never know!

Love it. I'm not saying the Roku Ultra wouldn't have been a fine alternative, as I haven't used one. But I am saying this device is a gem. I was a bit nervous about the rather minimalist remote for this unit, vs. the more conventional setup on the Roku. But I had faith that the designers at Apple would not release a product with a poorly conceptualized remote. They, essentially, didn't disappoint. The touch pad is mostly user friendly. Yes, it sometimes is a bit imprecise, but that becomes quite tolerable with familiarity. Note that, to an unaccustomed hand, it could seem all over the place. I actually called Apple thinking my remote was defective on day 2, because it seemed to be jumping all over the place. While on the phone, I realized that it was the touch pad reacting to my finger being on it - ever so slightly - that was making it jump. After more days of using it, this previously annoying behavior became fun to work with. I use the device along with a Hulu Live subscription and it plays well with their product. I had previously used a Chromecast Ultra for streaming, but found it severely lacking in terms of the control it offered when using streaming services like Fubo, YouTubeTv (awful, IMHO) and Hulu. The Apple device completely changed my experience of streaming. I can't imagine why anyone would not spend the extra $20 to get the Ethernet capable device vs. its non-ethernet capable cousin. While a good WiFi connection will render the distinction moot for most, it is still likely to not be as reliable as a direct ethernet connection. And for $20 over what should be years of use, I can't see the logic. While it seemed stingy to me initially that Apple didn't include a charging cord in the package, when I realized it could be charged with any phone charger sporting a USB C terminal, my annoyance disappeared. Worth mentioning, using the Siri based voice commands to fast forward or replay is absolutely wonderful. If you watch programs in which you know well the typical breakdown of ad times, you can simply invoke Siri, say, "advance 'x' minutes" and presto, you are there. I almost feel guilty about how easy it is to skip obnoxious commercials using this capability. Worth noting, if you are not a fan of using the voice capability to navigate, there are 4 speeds of advance/reverse easily accessed via the remote. It may take a few attempts to get the feel of how it works, but once you do, it is pretty terrific. One of my few complaints - and it is a minor one - is that Apple seems to have not seen fit to allow the user to configure the jump forward/revert back interval. I typically had set my cable remotes to jump 30 seconds and revert by 10; Apple's quick clicks only go forward or back by 10 seconds. Not my preference, but not a deal breaker. Installation was a breeze. As far as charging the remote, Apple's instruction suggest it might only be needed about 2x/year. So far, 1 month in, no sign that it is anywhere near needed yet. BTW - the 3 month trial of Apple TV that came with the purchase is a great extra for those who, like myself, hadn't yet experienced their lineup of shows. No doubt there are some cheaper alternatives to Apple TV. But I doubt anyone who is comfortable laying out the initial investment will be unhappy that they did so.

It works great and super fast when it comes to streaming
