Customer Ratings & Reviews

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’m really impressed with the Apple TV 4K. My Roku had been lagging a lot, and with this I can completely bypass that clunky software. It honestly feels like I have a brand new TV. The interface is super smooth and fluid, and casting music is seamless, which is perfect since I recently switched from Spotify to Apple Music. Totally worth it.

Far better than my 4k Roku. If you’re invested in the Apple ecosystem, and you don’t already have an Apple TV, you won’t regret it.

This little box completely upgraded my TV experience! The A15 Bionic chip makes everything incredibly smooth – apps launch instantly and 4K HDR content looks stunning. I love how seamlessly it integrates with my other Apple devices (AirPods auto-switch is magic). The new Siri Remote feels just right, with a clickpad that’s precise but not fussy. Gaming performance is surprisingly good for casual titles via Apple Arcade. My only complaint? The price is steep compared to basic streaming sticks – but the premium performance and clean, ad-free interface make it worth every penny for Apple.

It was easy to set up and much better picture I had a previous generation and I had to go back to my original unit.

Upgrade worth it. Easy to instal and use. The remote is very good. Lots of options.

Great quality. Easy set up. It went super quick since I already had one previously.

10/10 this definitely works great. Much much better than Roku. If you’re an Apple user, you definitely need this. The quality is perfect, I might add.

Bought this device to replace an older one that stopped working. Excellent device. New remote is superb.

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!

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.

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.

I’ve been using the Apple TV 4K for a while now, and it’s one of the best streaming devices I’ve owned. Setup was clean and simple — just plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and it instantly synced with my Apple ecosystem. If you use iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the integration is seamless: AirPlay works flawlessly, and your Apple ID + App Store apps show up right away.

Have an old Samsung Smart TV and was getting frustrated at how slow and bloated it was. A few apps were also taken off the store (like Steam Link) and some new apps I wanted to use weren't accessible. Did some digging and ended up choosing this since I'm pretty locked into the Apple ecosystem and I feel like I got a brand new TV! The UI is easy to navigate and lightning fast and I love how I can even connect my AirPods to the TV if I wanted to. All the apps are there and there's no ads save for the Apple TV stuff (which is a given). The remote is great too (being able to speak into it instead of typing) and very response - although sometimes a bit TOO responsive with the top touchpad which can get a bit touch sensitive. Aside from that, best purchase I've made for my TV.

Switched from Roku Ultra to Apple TV. So far seems to be better for streaming different streaming platforms and channels.

I didn't know what I was missing my whole life! Yep - there's a price difference between AppleTv and other streaming "sticks" but the difference is night and day! Cleaner, crisper, brighter picture (even on not so great tvs) - smoother interface, flawless mobility - Apple treats you like royalty with their offerings. They have created devices that consider YOU - not filled with bloatware either! Thats definitely a plus! One of my favorite things - Apple TV "talks" to ALL OTHER APPS!!! Yes - ALL OF THEM! Unlike Fire - who doesn't talk to anyone - When you search something on Apple Tv - it will tell you where it's available...whatever app (even if you don't have it) - Fire only talks to Prime - (BOOO) When I was using Fire - I spent so much money on rentals, all to find out it was on an app I was already paying for - Because Fire didn't talk to my apps - only Prime Channel offerings - NOT ANYMORE! Thank you Apple! I can now use ONE app to find whatever I want - wherever it is! Apple talks to prime and all others. Fire talks ONLY to prime. Its a huge difference. The entire Apple Ecosystem is amazing and this no exception! The experience you get from Apple tv is worth the price, plus some!

I love Apple TVs!! We now have 4 in house (various generations) The first one (Gen 1) replaced our GoogleTV built into our TV, and we'll never go back. The Apple TV just WORKS, it's a simple, intuitive interface that just lets us get to the content we want to watch without poor app support, app video drop outs etc. The Apple TV does an excellent job keeping up with Video without buffering (Google TV did it all the time on the same internet service). All the apps work well, and the system is very fast, and the latest remote is intuitive, has excellent tactile feel, and just works. Same can not be said for our 2022 Google TV. I've used bluetooth to connect a PS4 controller and that worked as expected. We use Apple TV With ARC to our TV And amplifier and all connect and work seamlessly. The video quality is excellent, and the device will auto adjust to your TV's capabilities (must go into settings one time and allow Apple TV to do it). As an added bonus, if you have an iPad or Apple Phone you can control the Apple TV from it, and in some cases use the keyboard from your iPad to type in app passwords and/or search. The remote has a Siri button to search and if you individually say "upper case", "lower case" when speaking your password for the apps, that works too! We have multiple Apple TVs, and we recently updated to "Max" (from HBO Max) and I put the username and password in once, and the other Apple TV's picked that up. I've only scratched the surface of what this thing can do. Highly recommended! Also, search youtube for what you're missing on what this thing can do. You'll be surprised and very happy at the features it has that you may not be using!

Bought my first Apple TV 4k to replace a Roku Ultra. My primary use for it is the Spectrum app to watch TV which both do well. Roku is fine, but there is a flaw that prevents it from working properly with my particular Denon AVR. Apple TV works perfectly and adds the benefit of accessing my iCloud to listen to my music, watch my videos, and access my photos. A real benefit.

Never a disappointment in terms of picture quality, economy, and ease of use. I love Apple TV.

I bought this for my parents based on my own experiences and they are slowly warming up to it. The tvOS is a simple yet elegant experience. Due to the nature of the platform it's my belief that streaming providers have no choice to build in a very standardized way. As a result many of the apps (certainly the big ones) function and are laid out in similar ways. No more trying to remember exactly how one app works versus another. Or at least not as much. From a cost perspective these things are expensive, maybe even unreasonably so. However, I previously used Fire TV Sticks and found myself replacing them annually due to critical issues or poor performance. I purchased the one I am reviewing for my parents but I have my own that I've owned for a few years each and both have stood the test of time. I don't even have to restart them weekly or daily like the Fire TVs to keep them snappy. The integration with the Apple ecosystem is of course first class and if you do Fitness+ workouts and have a watch those classes are never better than when I can watch them on my living room TV. In tvOS 17 you can now use your phone to find your remote if you misplace it which is handy.
