12 Month Update - Ended up subscribing to an Apple Family Plan so have access to their shows all the time. This device is still working well on the guest room TV and is easy for the grandkids (and old people) to use. No complaints.
6 Month Update: Using daily on the guest room TV and is working so well, I ended up subscribing to Apple+. Every couple of days it abruptly reboots but the process is quick and grandson briefly complains about being kicked out of youtube.
4 Month Update: Updating the software took about 15 minutes on a wireless network with 400 Mbps download. I was going to test the download speed but discovered that there is no web browser for Apple TV. There is an app you can get that will allow you to access other apps but I wasn't in the mood to bother. The Apple TV box, however, has an Ethernet port so I could connect it directly to the router for faster speeds.
Works as advertised. Easy to setup. I laid my iPhone next to it and it got what it needed in less than a minute. It worked out of the box with my LG control but doesn't work with the generic control the spouse uses.
The quality of the image and sound (on a new high end LG TV) is the same on Firestick and Apple. I did watch a video that showed me how to improve the vidio and audio on the Apple interface but I couldn't see any difference after making suggested changes.
I'm a long time Amazon Fire Stick user (upgrade each time a new stick comes out) but that darned stick fails almost daily and I have to go to the TV to manually restart it. I still have it running but stuck the Apple TV on another HDMI plug. After spending some time setting the Apple TV up to suit me, I still use the Fire Stick interface as my first choice but switch to Apple when the Fire Stick fails. Setting up the Apple interface also led me to make some useful changes on the Fire Stick interface.
Probably because I'm familiar with Fire's busy screen and have it organized to suit me, I find the Apple screen too simplistic. If I was choosing one to buy for someone less tech savvy, I'd get the Apple. If I have guests, I'll set the Apple up on their TV. If the Apple TV wasn't so expensive, I'd buy one now for my brother.
I do not like the remote. It has a hair trigger that causes it to move the cursor if you look at it sideways. But my LG remote works fine so I put the Apple remote away.
I was very surprised the Apple TV didn't come with more than a 7 day free trial of Apple+. However, I got a 3 month free trial for no cost from Best Buy. Apple+ gets you free access to their proprietary programs, nothing more. Because I have most of the movies I want to view in file format, I'm unlikely to benefit from having access to Apple+. I got a one year free subscription when I bought my Macbook and never used it.
Bottom line - Better choice for new streamers, nothing better for experienced Fire Stick users.
Addendum: I like Apple+ better than I thought I would. I will still let it expire after the three free months but we have binge watched a half dozen series.
Addendum: The new Apple TV 4K is out and has a good introductory price and great reviews. Try that one instead of this one.
So I got it for an education app I’m using to help with studying for some school topics; Udemy. The app ended up just being airplay, which is stupid. The Udemy app wasn’t actually a content accessing usable app. It opens and says to download the real app on your phone and stream it through airplay. So I returned the Apple TV 4k and got a roku streaming plus, since I could just use that for airplay and it’s way cheaper. I have a gaming console that has all my video streaming apps in 4K, so I thought Apple TV 4K would be a waste of money for just airplay.
Well, the roku is horrible!!!! Cascading problems with the device, remote, connection, and the airplay works 20% of the time after restarts and troubleshooting each time I try to use it, and sometimes having to do troubleshooting mid-use because it cut off and stops working while I was streaming. Full roku review on the roku streaming plus page.
Now I’m waiting for amazon to finish my Apple TV 4K return, so I can turn around and repurchase it. Because roku was so bad that I don’t want to try any other devices or dongles lol. And the Apple airplay approved lists on apple’s site, is small for what I need. And now I feel like a crazy buyer, because I’ve never done this before with purchasing, returning, and then repurchasing the same item lol. I feel guilty like I did something wrong; like walking out a store without buying something lol.
At first I thought the Apple TV was overpriced. Especially for me, since I have a gaming console with all my 4k video streaming. But it does come in handy and uses way less energy to operate, compared to my console. For streaming, the real apps you have access to, the stability and stronger connection, the better quality video and audio. It’s quick! And the airplay works! So I just have to get this again, which I’m fine with at this point. I will probably not want to buy outside of apple’s ecosystem if I don’t have to, going forward. So I 100% recommend Apple TV 4K lol.
Edit: still 5 stars. But the color balance and 4K on the Apple TV, looks better than my 4K tv and better than the 4k streaming on my gaming console. Colors look noticeably better. The darks, the brightness, the overall quality looks clearer. Not sure how Apple did it, but their 4k looks better lol. I found out by watching the same 4k and 8k videos on YouTube. Yes, I only have a 4k tv, but the 8k videos have nice demos as well. Also noticed this streaming Netflix. Those are the only tests I’ve done.
