Can't believe that Apple TV... - eviltoast

…hasn’t been into my life sooner.

Being an Apple sheep since iPhone 3G, I can’t believe I have only now discovered AppleTV.

If I had used it sooner, I could have saved at least 200 days worth of life navigating through Android TV lag.

My top 3 Pros/Cons in the first week of AppleTV 4k:

Pros:

  1. Seamless experience of scrolling through different platforms. No lag. Gave new life to my 3 year old 65 inch Sony 4K TV.
  2. Picture is crisper compared to Android. Visually, this is what I’ve experienced. I don’t know if it’s got to do with their processing or it’s just a placebo?
  3. No more shi*ty remote that breaks easily or goes missing. Can use my iPhone too. Go ahead and destroy/hide the TV remote for the 10th time, kids…Jokes on you!!

Cons:

  1. I did not buy it sooner
  2. Apple ads failed to convince me to buy it sooner.
  3. Minor depression from the realisation fact that I lost ~200 days of life from AndroidTV lag

Do not make the same mistake as me. Do yourself a favour and get an AppleTV.

    I started the process of upgrading from a Roku TV by purchasing an Apple TV to give me more time to wait for TVs to go on sale and came to a similar conclusion.

    Now I look at smart TVs as simply TVs again.
