…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.
I’ve only ever had AppleTV. Whenever I use a different device in AirBnBs, I scream and can’t believe people deal with crappy Roku/Firestick/AndroidBox/etc.
Damn. You just talked me into it. I just pulled the trigger with AppleCare.
If your into photos, looking into setting up your own screen savers.
Real Apple sheep doesn’t need convincing
Apple TV + is great love the quality of the content what it lacks in is variety it makes up in quality big time.
It’s by far the best tv experience. I travel everywhere with mine - just completely bypass all inferior experiences.
I have an Apple TV and is great…but better image and lag is not an Android problem, is a hardware problem. You can’t go smoothly on a crappy hardware… But besides Nvidia shield there is no other alternative in quality terms against Apple TV.
ATV is great, but I really hate the remote
AppleTV is the only way right now. Smooth, snappy, lots of up to date apps.
This could be a post made by myself.
Apple user since iPhone 4s, and since then using loads of their products, physically and cloud.
Meanwhile a movie/serie addict, apart from downloading new(er) content (in a bad boy - way) i also used streaming apps on my 2016 old 60" TV. Always found it to be crappy.
Recently just tried AppleTV, and since then i do not use my TV with anything else; fast, high quality image, easiness of use, its wonderful for a decent price. I heard the new version will be even cheaper, coming first half of 2024.
Only issue is that homepod / my own soundbar isnt really working hand in hand together. Its a bit of a headache, but other than that its totally worth it.
apple sheep?
the only con is no 100% audio pass through.
Well you are there now. Don’t live in the past. Don’t limit your Apple experience to just Apple TV. Enjoy!!
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.
I got Google TV and Apple TV; in the latest version some things are far better done in Google TV vs Apple TV, but I do like the ATV more as a interface, look & feed.
