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
And more 4K apps (including YouTube). Upconversion of non-4K/HDR video is confusing and doesn't improve image quality
Pricey compared to previous Apple TV
Most TVs have built in apps for streaming 4K content

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...

Abstract: It's now 16 months since Apple released the fourth iteration of its Apple TV, and in that time I'd love to say that it has come of age, with new applications making it a must-have presence underneath your television. I'd like to say that – but in truth, a...
Onscreen keyboard is torturous to use, limited genrebased listings on App Store
We had such high expectations for the 4G Apple TV that we have to admit to being a little disappointed with it on launch day. However, many of our main complaints seemed easy to rectify, and updates to tvOS and the Remote app have indeed resolved several...
