Substantial library of 4K HDR content, Strong picture and sound, Loads of apps, Dolby Vision and Atmos,
All 4 still missing, Pricier than stick alternatives,
When we first tested the Apple TV 4K back in October 2017, we agonised over the rating. On the one hand it delivered the best, biggest and most affordable library of 4K movies available, but the app gaps were impossible to ignore and its insistence on upc...

4K HDR content looks stunning, Cheap 4K movies on iTunes, Potential for 4K gaming, Siri, App Store
Expensive, No Optical Out port, Not able to download 4K content, streaming only
So, is it worth paying out the extra for the Apple TV 4K over the fourth-gen device? Essentially, yes, as long as you have/are planning to buy a 4K HDR TV and can benefit from the free upgrade of your iTunes movie collection.Along with all the standard Ap...
Extremely intuitive interface, Siri search/control is vastly improved, Powerful graphics and processing, Beautiful 4K HDR picture
Slightly dim SDR content in some cases, Converts 24p film content to 60Hz, Expensive compared to competition
Do buy the Apple TV 4K if you are heavily invested in the Apple universe and/or have a large library of movies, TV shows, and music from the iTunes store. Don't buy the Apple TV 4K if you're just looking to get 4K HDR content through an easy-to-use device...
Dolby Vision support, tvOS interface is clean and simple, Plays well with other Apple devices, Remote is responsive
No Amazon Video at launch, Siri can frustrate, Few benefits for non-4K owners
If you're already in the Apple-sphere and want a streaming box, the Apple TV 4K makes the most sense. It's costly, yes, and there are cheaper options on the market if you just want to get high-quality images beamed into your eyeballs.But if you also want...

The Apple TV 4K delivers the best streaming video available to compatible 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision TVs. 4K HDR titles on iTunes cost less than competitors. It offers the most polished streaming experience today, the best remote on the market and excellent
The Apple TV 4K is expensive. Cheaper streaming devices from Roku and others offer similar image quality and capabilities, and more 4K apps (including YouTube). Upconversion of non-4K/HDR video is confusing and doesn't improve image quality
Apple's 4K HDR streamer combines peak picture with a high-end feel nothing else can match, but it costs too much for most people...

4K HDR/Dolby Vision support means great visuals, affordable 4K movies in iTunes store - and whatever you buy will be upgraded to best quality as and when available, cross-service Siri search
Expensive hardware purchase, Amazon Prime Video missing at launch, many 4K TVs offer same streaming services, no Dolby Atmos sound (yet)
Had Apple just released a box that was capable of playing 4K HDR content it would get filed under "just another way to access 4K content in a world where there are plenty of alternatives".The Apple TV 4K aligns itself with the current standards, but where...

4K HDR content looks stunning, Cheap 4K movies on iTunes, Potential for 4K gaming, Siri, App Store
Expensive, No Optical Out port, Not able to download 4K content, streaming only
The Apple TV 4K offers a handful of changes, although features like 4K and HDR are more about Apple playing catch-up with the competition than trail-blazing
Best TV user experience, 4K, HDR10 & Dolby Vision, Lots of apps & games, iTunes in 4K HDR, Free upgrades to 4K HDR in iTunes, 24Hz output
Always-on HDR makes SDR look off, Dolby Atmos support missing, TV app & Siri missing in most regions, No YouTube in 4K HDR, Forces HDR LCD TVs into overdrive
Apple TV 4K is the successor to Apple TV4 from 2015, and over the years tvOS has been refined in a number of ways. Siri is the best voice assistant on a TV, and the new TV app has the potential to be a TV guide for the modern streaming age. The app stor...
Abstract: Apple TV has finally caught up with the 4K revolution.It may seem pricey starting at $179, but with amazingly sharp videos and great apps and games all rolled into one, Apple TV 4K is well worth the upgrade.That means setup is just as simple as it always...
