Apple TV 4K: Apple's finest streamer

Apple TV 4K may be entering the market late but it brings with it a host of features and will upgrade your HD content to 4K for free

Apple TV 4K review

The Apple TV 4K is a great product when viewed from certain angles. If you have a lot of your videos locked away in iTunes, the 4K is worth the upgrade. The hardware works well, the tvOS 11 interface is smooth and pretty, and everything syncs between your Apple devices in the way that it should. The tvOS 11 updates are relatively small, but worthwhile. Will I buy a 4K once I’ve handed this review unit back? Sorry, but no. Most of my videos (for good and bad) are courtesy of the Sky Store, so I lack the motive that many of you will have. But even if that were not the case, the fact is that I’m still waiting for Apple to unleash an OMG product on the TV world, one that doesn’t demand a series of compromises in my viewing habits. That may well be an actual Apple TV. Equally, it may not be hardware - I’d be happy if Apple finally replicated its Apple Music subscription charging model into the world of video. If you do decide to spend the best part of £200 on a new 4K box, no-one will laugh at you, especially if much of your media comes courtesy of Apple Inc. But with a world of credible - and often more capable - rivals, it’s beginning to feel like Apple needs to take longer strides in the TV world than those made by the new 4K.

It's been a long time coming, but Apple has finally made the move to 4K HDR video streaming. The wait for Apple TV 4K was worth it, especially for those living exclusively in the iOS ecosystem.

Apple TV 4K Review

It's been a long time coming, but Apple has finally made the move to 4K HDR video streaming. The wait for Apple TV 4K was worth it, especially for those living exclusively in the iOS ecosystem. Apple TV has been undergoing an arduously slow but ultimately worthwhile evolution. Two years ago, Apple added app support to its then-newest Apple TV, bringing the device functionally in line with other media streamers that had their own app stores years before. Now Apple finally adds support for ultra high definition (UHD, or 4K) streaming, again, years after the competition. The long wait yields a polished, feature-rich experience with support for all major high dynamic range (HDR) streaming standards. At $179 for the 32GB version or $199 for the 64GB version the Apple TV 4K is expensive compared with the competition, but its integration with all other things Apple makes it very tempting for users with multiple iOS devices and huge iTunes libraries.Design Physically identical to the 1080p Apple TV, the Apple TV 4K is a simple curved black box measuring 1.4 by 3.9 by 3.9 inches and weighing 15 ounces, with a single indicator LED on the front panel and a power connector, HDMI inp...

Apple TV 4K review: The ultimate iTunes box has finally arrived

Apple TV 4K is the most expensive streaming box but there are more than enough reasons to justify the price.

For a device that was at the forefront of the home streaming revolution, Apple TV has always been a bit behind the times. The first generation required a computer to stream content. Third-party app support didn't arrive until the fourth generation .
