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

Half, baked Siri, Not enough content yet, Remote needs work
Eventually the Apple TV might be the revolution the Cupertino company promised it would be. But for right now, it's a middling streaming video player that has a premium remote and a price tag to match...

Apps and games aplenty, Bluetooth game controller support, Siri universal search
No 4K support, no iPhone app, no Bluetooth keyboard support, app discovery could be better, Siri search doesn't work for music
As a day one device the new Apple TV feels a bit half-baked, especially in light of the strengthening competition. And as it's taken a couple of years for a refresh to appear, so we feel Apple should be a step ahead of the game. There's no accompan...

The 2015 Apple TV is the epitome of what Apple does so well. It is a beautiful, refined combination of existing technologies and ideas. A box that might not be groundbreaking from a hardware side, but which offers an unparalleled, effortlessly sleek user...
The new Apple TV delivers the most polished video experience today, with speedy reactions and a familiar yet attractive interface. It has the best remote on the market. Siri's voice search makes finding stuff to watch even easier
Apps from most major UK terrestrial channels are missing, as are services such as Sky's Now TV and Amazon Video. Apple TV costs more than similar devices such as the Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast. Non-entertainment apps aren't very compelling yet
The new Apple TV's awesome remote and voice control make it one of the best entertainment devices, especially for anyone who already owns plenty of Apple gadgets...
Abstract: It's been a long time since Apple updated the Apple TV, the last significant update was back in 2012 - although there was a minor update in 2013, if you are being pedantic - either way, the old Apple TV was based on at least three year old technology, and...
Good picture and sound, Lovely remote control, Good voice recognition, Cross-platform search,
Expensive, Lacking apps,
Is that it? That's what we keep asking the latest Apple TV. We find ourselves frustrated and disappointed. It adds very little to the core streaming box experience that we've seen elsewhere.Taken in isolation, the new Apple TV is lovely. Had it arrived on...

Interface is easy to pick up, Siri Remote works well, Voice search and control brilliant
No 4K support, Sparse app store, Parental controls need tightening
The app store currently lacks content and its gaming credentials are a little suspect, but the new Apple TV is a brilliant new way of interacting with your TV and will keep you glued to a big screen instead of a small one...
Dolby Vision struggles to outperform HDR10, Still waiting on Dolby Atmos audio
Dolby Vision concerns aside, the new Apple TV 4K can squeeze the most out of the latest televisions. Google and Amazon offer 4K rivals, but if your lounge room is blessed with a Ultra HD screen and is wedded to the Apple ecosystem then this is the streami...
