  • Fast performance, Great streaming quality, Few cords involved, 4K and HDR
  • No YouTube app available, User interface can feel cluttered
  • I think it's pretty obvious that I like the Apple TV 3, and prefer it to our previous method of streaming Internet content. It also lets us easily play back content from our iPads, iPods, and Macs.The user interface is very good. Although each service has...

  • The Siri Remote with touchpad works great, Universal search finally makes it easier to locate content, The App Store and iCloud integration are off to a promising start, Game controller support is already better than on iOS
  • Siri doesn't support the App Store or Apple Music —yet, Why no iOS Remote app support?, At $149, some may want to wait for more cord cutting incentives, Where to buy, The fourth-generation Apple TV is priced at $149 equipped with 32GB of storage and $199
  • For now, before the tvOS App Store has time to grow and mature, and before Apple has a chance to work out some of the kinks and bugs on the fourth-generation Apple TV, the main question for prospective buyers should be: How invested are you in the Apple...

  • It's the only option for streaming iTunes content, Apple Music, HomeKit, and AirPlay further extend the box's usefulness, App-driven home screen is easy to understand, Fairly cheap for a high-end set-top box, Only platform that still lacks voice search
  • Outdated hardware translates to long loading times, Limited app selection, Remote is overly simplistic and depends on line of sight
  • While it's beginning to show its age, Apple TV's hooks into the Apple ecosystem still make it worth considering...

  • Abstract:  The numbers don't lie. When Netflix accounts for more than a third of US internet bandwidth, when streaming services are racking up Emmys by the truckload, when cable subscriber numbers dwindle while Amazon Prime Video sign-ups soar, it's hard to avoid th...

  • Simple interfac, Only player that works with iTune, AirPlay beams media from Apple devices
  • Fewer content choices than competitor, No universal search capabilit, Not much free content
  • For Apple-centric households, Apple TV is a handy accessory that gives users access to the iTunes library and content from Apple devices on their home theaters. However, those intent on becoming cord-cutters (people who have chosen to get rid of their ...

  Published: 2012-07-02, review by: wired.com

  • Abstract:  Released in March, Apple's third-generation puck retains the form factor of its predecessor while adding 1080p playback. The real draw remains the same, though: seamless integration with iTunes, iCloud, and the rest of the Apple ecosystem. While recent ad...

  • Having spent the time to get a real feel for the Apple TV it has become clear that while the device is hampered by weak WiFi capabilities, the lack of HDMI CEC, and a frustrating reliance on an antiquated method for creating/managing credentials the de...

  • 1080p support added. Capable streaming from Macs, PCs, and iOS devices. Internet content from Netflix, MLB, NHL, NBA, and more. Streams photos from Flickr, iCloud Photo Stream, and MobileMe.
  • Can’t add more content channels or customize interface. Can’t connect it to a TV without HDMI.
  • If you’ve been waiting for 1080p, now’s the time to get an Apple TV, especially if you’re heavily invested in iTunes content and/or you want to beam your media from your Mac to your TV. But if your big-screen TV tops out at 720p, and you just want to...

  • Full 1080p HD (yes, please!), Incredibly easy setup, User-friendly icon-based interface, New features, same $99 price
  • Content is limited to iTunes and select partners (no VUDU or Amazon Instant Video)
  • If you're not an "Apple person" and are just looking for something to stream Netflix or YouTube, you may want to look into a Roku box. Roku can do that and much more, and with less expensive hardware. But if you're ensconced in Apple goodies and iTune...
