…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:
- Seamless experience of scrolling through different platforms. No lag. Gave new life to my 3 year old 65 inch Sony 4K TV.
- 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?
- 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:
- I did not buy it sooner
- Apple ads failed to convince me to buy it sooner.
- 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.
One thing about ATV that is annoying is that with some streaming services HDR features are not supported as well as on Android-based TVs and devices including FireStick. With Peacock HDR automatic matching is not supported on ATV. On the Fox Sports app HDR is not supported at all on ATV. It’s annoying.
