I’ve seen a few posts here and there raving about the Apple TV box but it’s always occurred to me what’s so special about it?
A lot of my products are Apple and I’m starting to try and build a smart home (nothing crazy) but I have Sonos, Nest etc and I’m wondering what an Apple TV can offer me. I’ve read a few blogs but nothing seems to scream out at me.
Smart TV’s seem to have a lot of streaming apps and I gather I can AirPlay to it. One thing that I did find interesting though, I saw someone comment earlier that you can just chuck your AirPods on and it seemlessly connects (albeit very rare I’d need to actually do this, like it was suggested if the other half wanted to go to sleep I could carry on and watch tv with my AirPods).
What are the other worthwhile benefits?
The “what did he say” feature, that rewins 10 seconds or so and engaegs closed caption for that span then turns it off is great and works across all the streaming services I have. Roku has a similar feature at the push of a button which is easier to use but for someone reason does not work on all streaming, specifically Netflix. Without other units having that feature, I use Apple TV.
