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...

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...
Excellent SIri integration. She never misunderstands what I say. The app-based approach to television is a winner, even if it's just a bit ahead of its time right now. A refreshing interface that is at once both new and familiar
App Store discoverability is a mess. Search in general across tvOS can use a lot of improvement. Lack of dictation support is frustrating. Launch week apps and games leave something to be desired. Very few outstanding apps and games available right now
The new Apple TV is the best digital media player I've ever tried. That being said, it's hindered by a lack of quality apps and games, and some frustrating search capabilities. However, all these problems are easily resolvable–and quickly. As the weeks go...
