Works with Air Pods

I primarily purchased this so my wife could watch her TV using her Air Pods. She had a rather clunky bluetooth headset adapter connected to her older model ROKU TV. This unit works great using the Apple TV streaming functions for all our apps as well as easily and automatically connecting to her Air Pods when she wants to watch TV. The remote is a little sensitive for me but she is very happy

Like most of my Apple purchases it’s just plugged in and worked. Your mileage may vary, but I don’t want something I have to replace every couple of years ( because it’s the size of a pack of gum, and it was built to last about that long) . This one will last, if it’s like my previous Apple TV, a good, five or six years, it’s up to you when you want to replace it.

Set up was simple and trouble free.
The remote is much improved from previous AppleTV’s, I will note it takes getting used to the fact that the touchpad is very sensitive. This can be changed via settings, the touchpad might not be for everyone’s like, and you can deactivate the entire functionality if you want.

Understand The Limitations - Save Some Money

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

I've tried all the different streaming boxes, and AppleTV is easily the best. Not because it is incredibly technically sophisticated, but because the interface is very simple and streamlined. It doesn't try to sell you stuff constantly, it respects the fact that it is in your living room or bedroom, and like a lot of Apple stuff it just works. Apple is really good at this sort of technology as appliance stuff.

Now, this is not the version to buy for your fancy home theater. It is a stripped down version that doesn't do 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. Apple isn't paying Dolby the license fees for all that, and it has a maximum resolution of just 1080p. That is why it is a lot cheaper than the full-featured 4K version.

Today, the amount of streaming content available in 4K remains pretty limited, and for a smaller TV in the bedroom you wouldn't notice the difference anyway.

I have the 4k version for our main TV, and this one works just as well, same interface, same snappy performance, etc. it just doesn't have the ability to handle higher resolution streams.

So this slightly de-rated version is for somebody who has an older 1080p TV, a secondary TV, a smaller TV and doesn't really need the full performance of the 4K version.

Yes, you can buy a cheaper streaming box or stick, but this is the cheapest to get the premium Apple interface.

I have had Roku’s and older Apple TV generations, but I like this one the best. The remote is much thicker which makes it harder to lose. I am not a fan of the touch pad controls, but you can deactivate in the settings app. I think this is a good value for its price.
