Product is good, but much cheaper on the apple store

I purchased this to replace my Gen 3 Apple TV. Turns out that I am quite disappointed. For me, it was a lot of money that did not provide a benefit over my previous Apple TV. I don't care for the remote either. I find it a lot harder to navigate than the previous version.

This set-top box may be the best choice for heavy iTunes and Apple product users, but it has less content than competitors and a dated design.

Simple interface; Only player that works with iTunes; AirPlay beams media from Apple devices

Fewer content choices than competitors; No universal search capability; Not much free content

Apple lovers will swoon over the Apple TV.

Easy and fun to use; Fantastic remote control; Zippy operation; tvOS versions of apps are great; AirPlay mirroring

Does not support 4K; No optical digital audio port; Lacks some key apps; No expandable storage

The new Apple TV catches up to, and overtakes, the competition. But the lack of 4K support and the limited selection of apps could put some off. Here's our 4th-gen Apple TV review.

The Apple TV is not fully baked. The video parts are excellent, but the available content is constrained in the UK. The music app is poor, the remote app doesn't work and other bits are just not ready. Having waited for the best part of three years to release a new Apple TV, why is it not complete

power of the App Store; access to iTunes and Apple Music; good voice control; IR control for volume; motion gaming

half-baked; music app poor; Siri can't search music and only iTunes and Netflix; most UK streaming services missing; no HDMI cable; no remote charger

Let's get one thing out of the way right from start regarding Apple's latest Apple TV streaming media player. It does not support 4K video playback. For some inexplicable reason, while Roku and Amazon were embracing things like HEVC decoding, HDMI 2.0, and HDCP 2.2 in their newest boxes, Apple chose...

It's been more than three years, but we finally have a new Apple TV ($149; 32GB). The last time Apple updated popular media streamer was back in 2012, and it has really started to show its age.

Simple, attractive tvOS interface; New app store greatly expands functionality; Excellent iOS device integration; Handy new remote with microphone for voice control

Pricey; No 4K support; Disappointing non-Apple music options

Update: Amazon Video on an Apple TV? At one time this was an impossible dream, but it seems as though there's a good chance of it actually happening this summer now that the two companies have called a truce. Will we see Amazon on stage with Apple at WWDC 2017? We're crossing our fingers.

For years, rumour had it that Apple would launch a TV. Realistically that was never going to happen. Apple doesn't make TVs and, logically, it doesn't need to. It just needs a media streamer that's better than the competition. Here's our 4th-gen Apple TV review.
