Halfbaked Siri
Not enough content yet
Remote needs work
Apple TV costs more than similar devices like the Roku
Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast for basically the same core functions. There's no dedicated app for Amazon or any other a la carte video service beyond iTunes
Expensive
No 4K UHD
Pricing approaches console territory
Few compelling apps outside video and games
Optical audio port is gone
The Apple TV 4K is expensive. Cheaper streaming devices from Roku and others offer similar image quality and capabilities

Pricey compared to previous Apple TV
Most TVs have built in apps for streaming 4K content

With the Apple TV 4K, Apple finally offers a fully featured 4K streaming media player to compete with the likes of Roku and Amazon Fire TV--and even ups the ante by adding Dolby Vision support. The problem is, Apple also ups the price significantly over t...
Fast, fluid interface with best-in-breed apps, Siri is as smart as it gets for TV search, No ads larding up the home screen, Can serve as a HomeKit smart-home hub
Far more expensive than other 4K HDR streamers, No 4K HDR for YouTube and no Amazon Video (yet), The Siri Remote is still too easy to lose in the couch

Fantastic processing speed and performance, Full, broad HDR support with Dolby Vision, Excellent iTunes, Siri and tvOS user experience, Lots of Siri-searchable third-party media apps, Free access to 4K versions of your existing iTunes HD movies
Too expensive to offer value for some types of users, Very Annoying forced conversion of all content to 4K HDR and all video to 60Hz, No YouTube 4K support, No support for Dolby Atmos sound, Overview, After a solid couple of years in which just about ever
Apple TV 4K is one very advanced, very sleek little set-top streaming media box with lots of power and 4K HDR content options under the hood. Support for Dolby Vision HDR and iTunes 4K inclusion make this an ideal choice for 4K TV owners whose televisions...

The new remote is great. The swiping takes a little getting used to. (I suggest slowing down the sensitivity in settings.) Otherwise, it looks great, and it feels great in your hand. It's not perfect, but it's the best set-top box remote I've used and I'v
The walled garden sucks, but I wouldn't expect anything different from Apple. There is hope, since the new Apple TV will get new apps and new ways to explore content. For now, it kind of feels like that first generation of iOS where you could use any app
If you buy a lot of stuff on iTunes, Apple TV is a great choice. But the real question is whether you should just buy the old and rather terrific Apple TV instead of shelling out an extra $80 for the new one. The remote alone doesn’t justify the price dif...
