Great content selection
Siri on the TV makes sense
Universal search is amazing
The new remote is great. The swiping takes a little getting used to. (I suggest slowing down the sensitivity in settings.) Otherwise
It looks great
And it feels great in your hand. It's not perfect

The editors didn't like
$150 price is higher than competition
Logging into services can be a pain
No 4K support
The walled garden sucks
But I wouldn't expect anything different from Apple. There is hope
Since the new Apple TV will get new apps and new ways to explore content. For now
It kind of feels like that first generation of iOS where you could use any app
Optical audio out is gone
There's no guarantee that services like Amazon Video will ever show up
No 4K
Which isn't a big deal today but will slowly become a bigger deal as time goes on
Expensive compared to the Chromecast

Occasional crashes
Oldfashioned and irritating text entry

Apple TV costs more than similar devices like the Roku

Limited app support at the moment
Siri can only be used on limited areas
No optical audio port
Far more expensive than other 4K HDR streamers
No 4K HDR for YouTube and no Amazon Video (yet)
The Siri Remote is still too easy to lose in the couch
The remote is superfrustrating. Setting everything up will leave you wanting to commit crimes. Siri and the App Store both have some work left to do
Expensive
Subpar touch controls
Limitations in Siri and search are disappointing. Current apps are underwhelming
App Store itself needs work. The most expensive settop box available. Siri Remote is expensive to replace. No 4K video support. Cable subscription apps still must be authent
Siri is extremely limited
Have to log in to every app individually
Arduous ID and password entries
Weak implementation of Siri
Lacks 4K video support
Too expensive to offer value for some types of users
Very Annoying forced conversion of all content to 4K HDR and all video to 60Hz
No YouTube 4K support
No support for Dolby Atmos sound
Overview
After a solid couple of years in which just about ever
The Apple TV 4K delivers the best streaming video available to compatible 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision TVs. 4K HDR titles on iTunes cost less than competitors. It offers the most polished streaming experience today, the best remote on the market and excellent
