I just want to share my experience in simple points . This is my second Apple TV . I sold the first one . Am kinda super happy every time I use Apple TV with my SONY.
- No ads
- Home Screen is more like 4k unlike pixelated ones found in other platforms.
- Impressive horsepower packed in a small box , everything is smooth even after years .
- Simple and pleasant UI
- Years of support .
- Better privacy.
- Multiple apps can run in background.
- Nice integration with other Apple products like iPhone , AirPods
- I like the remote , it just works with no problems .
- Maybe in future I would love to see more games with console level graphics as well as native higher refresh rate .
PS: hopefully TIM won’t ruin this product by coming up with a PRO version.
My Fire Stick 4K Max 1st gen was the 2nd best of its generation but after a year got slow.
So I looked at the 2nd generation they made of it and thought it’s barely any more powerful and is $60 while I could spend the extra $20 and buy an Apple TV 4K 2nd gen.
So I went with the Apple TV 4K 2nd gen and despite it being a generation behind it’s still generations of performance higher than my Fire Stick and I doubt I’ll ever switch back to any other media players ever again.
Yes, absolutely. It is a good investment for your TV for coming years .
