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
The Nexus Player

Occasional crashes
Oldfashioned and irritating text entry

No way to control Apple TV with other iOS devices

Amazon on the TV
PS4or Xbox Onestyle gaming
"Always listening" voice control
Apple TV costs more than similar devices like the Roku
Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast for basically the same core functions. There's no dedicated app for Amazon or any other a la carte video service beyond iTunes
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
4K HDR/Dolby Vision support means great visuals, Affordable 4K movies in iTunes store - and whatever you buy will be upgraded to best quality as and when available, Cross-service Siri search
Expensive hardware purchase, Many 4K TVs offer same streaming services, No Dolby Atmos sound (yet)
Had Apple just released a box that was capable of playing 4K HDR content it would get filed under "just another way to access 4K content in a world where there are plenty of alternatives".The Apple TV 4K aligns itself with the current standards, but where...

Dolby Vision support, tvOS interface is slick, Amazing for photos, especially Moments
No Dolby Atmos support
If you're interested in getting superb quality 4K HDR video and you're invested in Apple's ecosystem of devices, then the Apple TV 4K is almost a must-have even though it is significantly more expensive than its rivals. No 4K? Then this isn't the box for...
Abstract: Amazon's latest Fire TV isn't its first to support 4K video streaming, but it has managed to shrink it down so it can hang behind your TV out of sight, just like Google's Chromecast Ultra. The Apple TV 4K is an altogether larger, more expensive box with...
Slick and powerful, Siri voice controls are great, Growing app store, Clever remote, Seamless setup, if you own an iPhone
Remote not great for gaming, Automatic upscaling not always a benefit, Some key apps missing, Need to be an iPhone user to get the most out of it
The slickest TV streaming box around got the 4K HDR upgrade it needed. If your smart TV is a bit thick and you're an Apple user then the Apple TV 4K is an essential addition to your entertainment arsenal...
Powerful processor, Dolby Vision support, Excellent and responsive interface, Extensive selection of apps, Cheaper movies on iTunes, Existing iTunes library upgraded for free, Attractive design and great build quality
Single format output, No auto refresh rate selection, Remote can be annoying, Still very US-centric, Expensive
If you already have a 4K HDR TV with all the main video streaming and catch-up services, then you probably don't really need an Apple TV 4K unless you want access to iTunes. However if you use a projector or it's something that interests you and you're al...

Excellent picture with 4K content, Slick, speedy operation, Great range of 4K films on iTunes
No YouTube 4K or Amazon (yet), Expensive, Upscaling not always perfect
The Apple TV 4K is a great product when viewed from certain angles. If you have a lot of your videos locked away in iTunes, the 4K is worth the upgrade. The hardware works well, the tvOS 11 interface is smooth and pretty, and everything syncs between your...
Abstract: “I want to love the Apple TV 4K. I want to love it a lot. It is by far the closest thing to being a fully realized vision for the future of TV that exists. But because it's so ambitious, it's also the farthest away from the vision it's trying to achieve...
If you're an Apple fan, have an existing iTunes library, and use iOS devices, then it's going to be hard to avoid the lure of the Apple 4K TV. Its integration with the Apple universe is a big factor, and one that would make sense to a lot of people. The u...
Watch movies in 4K so they appear clearer and sharper than those in HD, providing you have a compatible TV the Apple TV can handle both Dolby Vision and the HDR formats so no matter which 4K TV you have, you'll be able to play the shows and movies, If you
There are no apps for All 4, My5 and ITV Hub instead, you need to play these on your iPhone or iPad and use AirPlay, Doesn't come with a HDMI cable you'll need to purchase one separately
The Apple TV 4K is a TV streaming device that's worth investing in. Simple to use, it can display 4K content on any Ultra HD TV and there's a good choice of services available through it. It features Apple's voice assistant Siri and can be even be used as...
