Apple TV 4K review

The Apple TV 4K has been our favourite streamer and an Award-winner since its release in 2021, and now there is a new generation with a more powerful chip and smaller casework.

Excellent picture Expressive sound Responsive user interface

Limited physical connectivity

The latest generation Apple TV 4K has a more powerful processor and a lower price – making this a no-brainer

Apple TV 4K (2022) review: the best streaming device is now better and cheaper

Apple's latest 4K streaming box is its lowest-priced yet

Match frame rate and HDR output options ; Siri remote now has USB-C charging ; HDR10+ high dynamic range support

Pricey for a streamer ; Many features aimed squarely at Apple users

The new Apple TV 4K isn’t exactly a radical re-imagining of the company’s streaming box, but it’s smaller (slightly) and adds a few new features such as HDR10+ high dynamic range support, USB-C charging on the included Siri Remote, and the company’s...

Apple TV 4K (2022) review: Excellent for Apple users

The Apple TV 4K (2022) adds HDR10+ support, upgrades the chipset and slims down the design. Is it worth buying though? Here's our review.

Great performance ; HDR10+ support ; Excellent features if you're an Apple user ; Siri is handy ; Lighter design

Design hasn't moved on much ; Netflix still not fully integrated ; Most features require Apple devices or subscriptions ; Expensive compared to competition

Is the Apple TV 4K (2022) the set-top box you should buy above all others? If you are an Apple user and Apple service subscriber then absolutely, it offers a great performance and experience with plenty on offer. If you just want a set-top box or stick...

Apple TV 4K (third-generation) review: unmatched power at a much better price

The latest Apple TV 4K is Apple's most powerful and full-featured entertainment box yet. And it's finally available for a lower, if not quite cheap, $129 starting price. Now in its third generation, the new Apple TV is powered by the same chip as last...

More affordable than previous model Snappy, responsive performance at all times A showcase of Apple ecosystem tricks Siri Remote now has USB-C

Base model lacks ethernet No AirTag-like location tracking for the remote Lackluster live TV integration There’s got to be some way to freshen up this design by now

Apple TV 4K is a worthwhile upgrade for anyone still stuck on the ancient HD model. It’s a speed demon of a streaming box that ticks off all the crucial boxes if you want to enjoy the richest possible home theater experience. And the price is now more...

Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) Review

The Apple TV media hub has been losing ground the last few years to competitors that are nearly as good and dramatically less expensive. Apple seeks to address some of these issues with the third-generation Apple TV 4K, which features a faster...

Fast, responsive performance Deep integration with Apple devices and services Apple AirPlay 2

Pricey Confusing overlap of Apple tvOS and Apple TV app features Using Siri requires speaking into the remote

Despite a drop in price and a boost in performance, the third-generation Apple TV 4K is still an expensive media streamer that's best suited for Apple-centric households.

Apple TV 4K Review (3rd Generation): Why Paying More Is Worth It

Apple hasn't messed with the Apple TV 4K's design, but since it's destined to go behind a TV or in a media cabinet that's no bad thing. There are two versions: both have an HDMI 2.1 port on the back, along with a power socket. The cheaper, $129 model...

Support for latest HDR standards A15 Bionic chipset is more than fast enough Siri Remote is easier to use (and charge) Cheaper than previous model Refreshingly advert and tracking-free

Expensive compared to rivals Apple TV app still isn't quite what it promises

I like how solid the Apple TV 4K experience is. I'm willing to tinker a little if my computer or my phone is acting up, but when it comes to sprawling out on the sofa and watching a TV series or a movie, my patience for underwhelming gadgets is...

Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) Review

Think of it less as a media streamer, and more as a mini console and computer.

The Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) might seem like just another streaming device – and a particularly expensive one, at that – but there is a lot to this gadget than most first impressions suggest. It does, of course, perform its core functions well enough for...
