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.

    Second this! I really don’t understand how Apple fails in marketing this piece of streaming miracle.

    Always thought it’s just a overpriced FireTV stick / unnecessary in combination with smart TV. Got a refurbed one two weeks ago as replacement for a FireTV stick because of the new ads. And i am buffed how smooth everything is. Also forgot that my bedroom soundbar has virutal surround as the FireTV never made use of it.

    Ordered another two (1x refurbed, 1x new) for my living room and my parents last week.
