lol ,raise your budget from $30 firestick next time if its too slow. comparing a $30 stick to $160 item. compare this to the Nvidia Shield. The Shield Shits on this Daily .
Didn't he say "glorified streaming box"? I believe he is talking about cheaper streaming devices, not another 150+ device! So my comparison is valid!

they won't price match unless there is a physical location with 25 miles of Best Buy. Kind of stupid.
I just did the price match online right now with best buy live chat and they approved it

I see cheap ones listed on FB marketplace all the time. Can't help but think it's some scam or fake units selling that cheap.
Not really when you can verify the serial number

Thanks, the $20 off MSRP isn't a ton, but I guess better than nothing. I'm coming from an NVIDIA Shield since I'm mostly in the Apple ecosystem (phone, laptop).

Btw, NVIDIA Shield is really solid, though I'm hoping there's more developer resources spent on tvOS than Android TV, cause some of the apps are buggy on my Shield.

Also, curious about diving fully into the Apple ecosystem with home automations and Apple HomeKit.

thanks, i tried again, this time, the guy was awesome and price matched immediately. the first one was lady whom pretended to be nice and created bunch of small talks. FYI for those trying to price match, if they ask for zip code, close it and try again.

What Apple TV does well?

- If you're already part of the Apple cult, it works with nearly all your Apple devices like magic including headphones.

- if you don't own a video game console and you don't feel like buying one. Performance is great.

What's meh?

- it's 2021 and you still can't use Siri hands free with Apple TV. This annoys me to no end which is why I still primarily use Amazon's FireTV and Google TV instead of Apple TV

I just bought a new generation Apple TV for another room. Actually my old Apple TV is much much better than the 'new' gen. First, the new remote is big and heavy, with no functional upgrade. Sharpe edges are not friendly to itself and furnitures. Old version remote's trackpad is much more accurate. Second, the 'new' Apple TV says it supports up to two pairs of AirPods which is attractive for me. However, it dramatically cuts the communication distance to the AirPods. It's just feel like less than 1/3 distance of the old Apple TV or Macbook or iMac. When I walk away to grab something to drink, even when I am still in the same room of the TV, AirPods can lose connection with the 'new' Apple TV. So annoying. I guess Apple just limited the power for connecting 2 sets of AirPods. But it can be smarter to not limit the power when identify there's only one set AirPods are connected.
Are you forgetting the "mute" button? It's the main reason I'd want to upgrade.

If you already have a HomePod, you can speak to the HomePod and it will process the command on behalf of the Apple TV, so long as the Apple TV is part of your HomeKit network (which it ought to be, as it is also considered a hub for HomeKit). Obviously this requires a HomePod, but just wanted to clarify this point to anyone who is already in the Apple ecosystem that deep and is considering this.

I had an Apple TV HD (previous 1080p model) and upgraded to this model. The controller is much thicker and slightly heavier than the previous controller, which is clearly a response to the fact that the previous controller is incredibly slippery, and difficult to pick up without touching the huge trackpad surface. The trackpad functionality is reduced to the surface of the clickable navigation wheel, which is both a good and bad thing. The previous touch surface was difficult not to touch on accident, but it also worked great when you intended to use it. This is harder to get momentum with, so I dont use the touch controls as much as a result.

Beyond that, the OS is significantly faster, and it plays high-bitrate 4K HDR movies - even 60fps ones, like Gemini Man - with zero trouble or delay, played natively off of my media server through Infuse [firecore.com] (which is easily the absolute best HTPC software I've EVER used and is THE reason to have an Apple TV if you watch media at home, holy hell it's incredible).

Apple TV TV+ app is pretty cool too if you use the common streaming services. It collects the shows you're watching (except for Netflix, who must not give them API access) onto a single screen and directs you to the next episode, or tells you when a new episode is out.

On the other hand, Siri implementation is not perfect. It doesn't search as deeply or as specifically as I'd like most of the time when I say something like "Play Great British Bake-Off". For example, it'll find the show on a service at which I can buy it, but not on Netflix. And I haven't been able open apps with Siri (yet, I guess). This seems like something they are actively improving, but just keep that in mind.

I love my Apple TV, and think it's a significantly more pleasant experience than the other OSes I've used elsewhere. I also like that it's integrated with my Apple stuff so easily.

Oh, and if you have Airpods Pro, Spatial Audio is phenomenal. I swore it was playing through my home theater, and had to take out my headphones multiple times to check. It applies spatial audio to non-natively-tuned media (movies, shows, music) on its own, and IMO the performance is outstanding. I'm a particularly picky purist audiophile who doesn't like fancy tricks that reduce audio quality for the sake of a magic trick, but spatial audio is awesome.

Is the new remote a lot better? With the old remote I go back and forth 2 minutes at a time. I have to keep messing around with it to go back and forth a few seconds
