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.

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.

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.

Apple TV is a gorgeous gateway to Apple's world of movies and TV, but the absence of major apps at launch hampers its appeal in the UK.
