The editors didn't like
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
No way to type a password using the Remote app, new onscreen keyboard is torturous to use, limited genrebased listings on App Store, Bluetooth keyboards aren't supported
We had such high expectations for the Apple TV that we have to admit to being a little disappointed with it. However, our main complaints should be easily rectified. We hope that Apple will quicky rectify the issues with the Apple Remote app and the disco...
For some people - mainly those with iOS devices and no 2nd- or 3rd-generation Apple TV - the new box is a great media streamer and games machine. However, there's no escaping the high price and limited selection of apps. And if you're not interested in ga...

Ultimately, the Apple TV succeeds in improving the speed and efficiency of the media user interface thanks to its faster, smoother smarter UI, the effectiveness of which is boosted still further with an improved remote. As a client for an iTunes library...

Easy set up, Fabulous Siri remote, Great content search,
Lack of apps, High price, No 4K future-proofing
Although it's not yet perfect you definitely shouldn't ignore the new Apple TV.This little box of tricks has plenty going for it and the Siri remote is one of the best on the market.With this new voice control feature you'll have no problems finding conte...
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 Apple TV Apple has ever made. It's also the best digital media player on the market. That being said, it's a brand new device that is negatively affected by some launch-day hiccups. The lack of Categories in the App Store make...
Abstract: By 2014 the landscape has changed completely, with the introduction of SmartTVs, internet-connected consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation, and VOD services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. No longer are you forced to pay Sky a premium rate subscription fo...
Abstract: We spent plenty of time waiting for Cupertino to update its Apple TV, with the latest model finally landing earlier this year. It looks pretty much identical to the previous iteration, but there are plenty of changes under the skin. Has it been worth it t...
Really slick interface, Siri can be excellent, App Store is growing well…
…but some key apps are missing, Text entry is really bad, No 4K
The new Apple TV is a really great, smooth, easy media box – right up until it does something which leaves you scratching your head. The remote control is very slick, and Siri can be just brilliant on it, making it feel natural to move around. And...

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 is rubbish, 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
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 extra for the new one. The remote alone doesn't justify the price difference...
Abstract: The problem lies in creating a one-stop portal to all the films, programmes and games you could possibly ever want: vast swathes of content which is easily-searchable, navigatable and crucially, on a platform which supports the majority of apps and servic...
