Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to compare to my base model 2021 apple tv 4k 32g 2nd gen device running the A12 bionic chip. All i have read is that if one owns the 2nd gen, getting the 3rd gen isn’t really worth it. Well, this one runs the A15 bionic chip and i must say it is quit snappy, not that the 2nd gen was slow as such. I don’t game so our use is streaming apps and plex. I see no judder or other video hickups at all. With the discovery+ app i would see a reduction in streaming quality frequently with my 2nd gen (i have a gig ISP) which i have yet to see on this 3rd gen. Even my wife commented on this which is huge. Is the video quality better compared to the 2021 2nd gen overall? I tend to think so and my wife agrees but it is very subtle. If one has the 2021 model and not having any issues nor video quality issues, this 3rd gen may not be worth it to you. I have family that wants my older version so it was easy to upgrade. We are satisfied. Reason i bought this one over the 64g version is support for thread networking and an ethernet port.

The Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) delivers excellent performance with its A15 Bionic chip, ensuring smooth streaming and vibrant 4K HDR visuals (I do notice better video quality on my TV). The updated Siri remote is user-friendly, and integration with Apple services like TV+, Music, and Fitness+ enhances the experience. The main reason I chose it over other streaming devices is because of FaceTime integration using iPhone’s Continuity Camera. I got a mount from Amazon and it’s fun to FaceTime on TV.

Works great user friendly. You will need a Harmony Remote with the HUB and special Make (Not Apple TV) and Model number (Not Apple TV Model number) if you want to use a universal remote that fully functions with it. It need blue tooth. You can find the make and model number needed for the Harmony Elite with the hub to work by searching on the internet. Will work with a programable universal IR remote it just will not turn it off and a few other commands that you will need the apple remote for.

Still the best premium streaming device there is especially if you have a 4K TV. If you want to take full advantage of the HDR quality picture and Dolby 5.1 or Dolby ATMOS surround sound, you will need to purchase the appropriate high speed data HDMI cables so you can take full advantage of the capabilities of this streaming device and your theater system. I recommend Rocketfish HDMI 2.1 that supports 48Gbps for 4K/8K support. Best Buy sells this cable and it’s also excellent for the current XBOX AND PS5 systems. Really no need to pay more money for an even “higher” quality HDMI cable unless it’s a really rare and special circumstance. The cable I recommend will prevent you from having compatibility issues and save your from spending more money than is really necessary.

We absolutely love the Apple Tv. The ease of use, and how it works across all Apple products that we own. We will definitly buy one for all the other tvs in our house.

Apple TV’s have always been solid streamers, but ever since I switched from TV’s to projectors, I’ve had my issues. This is the first model that has been plug and play with no color or contrast issues in HDR mode - since my projector is BenQ and HDR10 based. It’s lighter, faster, the remote is finally universal with USB C charging, and the picture quality is near perfect plug and play into my projector… Great upgrade! If you’ve got last gen’s model and don’t need the HDR10 standard in box, it’s a harder sell, but if you do and want to watch content as intended, it’s a must have! And yes, they did patch this somewhat last gen via firmware, but it’s no comparison. I’ve got both, and side by side, the new one handles HDR10 better across the board - at least in my specific use case.

Performance is great - speed and picture quality. Nice heavy quality remote. Soon you’ll be able to videoconference on your TV. I appreciate the 1 gig Ethernet port and large onboard storage.

I use this as a smart home hub as well as a great streaming provider on my tv. Even though my tv is a smart tv, Apple TV interface and user friendly is vastly superior. This device replaced the last model and I can’t say I see any difference yet, although i have used it little. I am hoping it will improve my smart home flow with its matter addition to this Ethernet version.

After using it extensively, here's my review of Apple TV. Pros: 1. Stunning 4K HDR (5/5): Apple TV offers some of the most impressive 4K High Dynamic Range (HDR) visuals on the market.

I have a Sony led TV that’s getting older and apps were loading much slower these days so I was in the market for streaming box or stick. I’ve had other streamers but they always aged (aka died) quickly. This caught my eye with house fast and smooth the interface was and it had the same chip my iPhone 13 had in it. But eggs sold me on it was the fact that it could stream my music collection that is on my PC. I have a home theater setup and usually connect my phone via USB or Bluetooth to listen. But now, through home sharing on iTunes and the computer app in Apple TV, me and my wife can easily play music from my collection. So is seeing heavy usage. Oh it will have all the common apps and games, most support Apple TV os.

Apple TV is great. Easy way to stream all your services in one place. The biggest disappointment is direct tv app typically fails every time I try to use it. Other than that, the picture quality is amazing on high def/4K tvs.

I purchased this device because I’m part of the apple ecosystem and so far this streaming device has been very good. I really like all the features this device has and how I can have this device apart of the ecosystem makes for more seamless experience. I really like how I can use my AirPods or any Bluetooth device to listen to what I’m watching without disturbing anyone late at night.

WAY better than the first gen Apple TV product that it replaced. FINALLY an Apple remote that doesn't suck. I'm very happy with this purchase and geez I sure do worth I'd have replaced that old one years ago.

I have an AppleTV 4k gen 1 and wanted to upgrade. I waited long enough and I’m so happy with the gen 3. I cascaded the original to a sitting room and could not believe how the picture improved over a fire stick.

The Apple TV came a lot earlier than I expected and it came all in one piece. It works like a charm and so far I haven’t had any problems. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Can't go wrong with getting one of these. The controller is way better than the previous generation. Worth the money!

Apple is amazing and so are all their products. This works fantastic, 4K is solid, easy to use and the remote is great. Remote is type c charging and dies not come with a charger.

Love my 3rd generation Apple TV box. I had the first generation- The picture quality appears to be better,it supports4kHDR and has Dolby. Connects easily to WiFi Just overall an improvement from my 1st generation Apple TV Box The remote works seamlessly with the box. Just a note: Your 1st generation Apple Remote will not work with the 3rd generation box.

We love our Apple TVs we have so many of them I lost count, lol but I would definitely recommend this. It is extremely fast and we use it integrated with our home automation system. It’s so nice to be able to come home at night and if your porch light isn’t on, you can integrate it with a smart switch and turn your lights on so you don’t have to open the door in the dark.

This is my 2nd Apple TV 4K purchase, Now I have one connected to my family room TV and one connected to my bedroom TV. This one is a replacement for my Roku 4K box that still worked, but I feel the Apple TV is far superior to the Roku. The Apple TV is super fast and smooth in its operation. I love the super clean and simple Home Screen the Apple TV has as well. Set up is a snap especially if you own an iPhone or iPad. There are too many advantages of owning this device to list here, I'll just say if you buy one, you won't regret it!
