Customer Ratings & Reviews

This remote is such an improvement from the last generation. Works great no issues

We have cut the cable in our home and now rely on Apple TVs as the chosen interface for our streaming content. We also love the ability to interface with our iCloud content. This new remote is a big improvement over the previous model. The best just keeps getting better.

This updated remote has more weight and thickness to it. However, it still is very easy to lose and we have invested in the apple air tags to assist with keeping the remote from being lost all the time and it has seemed to help with our fear of losing this. Navigation is sensitive but still improved from prior versions.

Love it. I'm using it primarily for Apple Music so I ca listen to music in Dolby Atmos. Everything I have watched (You Tube, HBO Max, Amazon Prime) looks much better through the Apple TV 4k box than it does right off my Samsung TV apps. And if you have a home theater set up (even without ATMOS) the 5.1 music sounds amazing.

I replaced an older AppleTV with this 4k version, aside from the better resolution, the best upgrade is the remote. The older remote is just plain frustrating to use. The new style remote is much thicker making it easier to grip and having a "scroll" button is much easier to use than the old touch pad.

Love it so far. New remote is a huge upgrade compared to previous versions. I’d recommend turning off the touch controls otherwise it’s too sensitive and even when you pick up the remote it’ll change depending on what you touched by mistake. A lot of the times I end up rewinding or forwarding or editing altogether by mistake.

Awesome product. Highly recommend to add to a home theater setup

This device makes using streaming services so much better. If you are using what came with your TV, you may find it to be slow, cumbersome, and generating mediocre picture quality. With Apple TV everything is fast and the picture is so much better. I could not believe the difference with my HDTVs. Apple has vastly improved the remote control with this model, adding navigation arrows and a better way to turn on and off. This is way better than the offerings from Google in every aspect. If you are an Apple user, you can also use it to stream Apple Music and your other content. It is a great way to connect any Apple product to your TV as well. Best Buy had a great price, and fast delivery, so I purchased 2 of them. If you have any issues with the Apple TV not controlling your TV, make sure that HDMI-CEC is turned on. Your TV may use words like Sync or link for this feature. I am totally delighted with this product as it has superior quality and design.

So far works flawlessly. I have 3 first gen Apple TV 4K boxes. This one doesn’t seem to be much difference other than the remote. A little more snappy when going through apps from the faster processor. Have it going into a Denon AVR and then the AVR to LG C2. Awesome set up.

To be honest, there is not much difference between this AppleTV and the older HD version. The major difference is the remote. It is much better, but still not perfect. If you have an older AppleTV, I don't really see any need to upgrade. If this is your first AppleTV, I say go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Easy set up, and easy to use. Like the new remote……..

First off, this doesn't support web browsing. This was something I asked for and was told that it could do. I found out otherwise. Other than that, it works great as a streaming device and a cable TV substitute. The remote works great, and has voice recognition. That even works for passwords and such.

I had an original 4k Apple TV box that decided to fade into the sunset. So, I purchased this newer model. Some major upgrades from my perspective. First, it recognizes your tv's attributes, for example, 4k, dolby vision and so on. Then, it sets the resolution to best match. I also like that the box switches inputs on the tv from once source to the Apple TV once the remote is activated. I don't recall that with my previous box. Finally, the remote is much improved. No longer with the full sized track pad and back to buttons like the original ipods. My only wish is that the remote could backlight it's buttons.

The boys were asking for an Apple Tv. Got them this one and it works like magic.

Great product. Only complaint is the remote buttons wear out quickly

This product has been a life saver dont need a cable box and better for my tv

Great product, easy to use, great picture quality.

Works well, and Apple + is worth it for Ted Lasso and getting the occasional Friday night baseball game not blacked out. Only complaint is the operator control can be difficult to manipulate.

I love it, it works very well with all my apple products. I use it as a separate display and for watching tv. And the new remote is a lot better, while the last gen remote was nice, this on is better since there isn’t anything that is gonna shatter. Great product.

If you have a 4K Apple TV, it’s not quite worth the upgrade. Any other Apple TV owners should think about upgrading especially if you have a 4K TV. The new remote is definitely a nice change. If you do not own an Apple TV and rely on a smart tv, it is worth trying out how convenient Apple TV makes TV and moving watching.
