Poll: ** The official 2022 Apple TV 4K thread (it has the A15 chip, HDR10+ and everything!) **

[Feek]

It was very limited In where I could play content from. However this was years ago. Not sure it even had Plex.

Once they opened up the App Store, it's perfectly good. Plex works really well, all the main streaming apps are there. It does games but I've no idea how good they are.

I’m getting the new Fire TV cube. The sheer fact that Apple TV still doesn’t have a USB port for external drives is infuriating

Games are iOS ports so they will run perfectly fine on the TV as well, and controller support is decent too. But that's very casual gaming, not comparable to consoles.

If Apple sorted out their software issues with gaming, they can easily make consoles that are on par or even faster than XBox/PS. They don't care because real money is in micro transactions and mobile games, not console.

Ordered one though. So pathetic

Which version? Is it replacing an existing ATV?

 

[Cryfreeman]

Oh new iPad and iPad pro also. Still waiting on the change to OLED for the pro as I will want to use it for heavy Apple TV/ ITunes movie watching, or is the bloom decently controlled on these ?

The massive upgrade from the previous ATV

 

[HACO]

I don't have an Apple TV and my Samsung TV's OS/UI is probably the worst piece of software ever designed, so might get the Ethernet version as well.

If you’re getting a new TV, wouldn’t the Apple TV app be on that?

 

[pcfarrar]

Ordered the new 128GB ATV. I've already got the 4K 2021 but an upgrade is an upgrade.

I think generally these dedicated boxes are much more powerful.

As far as I’m aware the Tv app’s don’t allow access to an iTunes film library? Might of changed, been a while since I tried mine.

 

[Shoza]

I’ve got the last one and I can’t possibly see a reason to upgrade to this. The last one is extremely fast and the remote control is great.

Would be great if the apps within the TV ecosystem we’re updated more often!

Is the iPlayer app still miles behind the Amazon Fire TV version?

 

[ChrisD.]

I only got a new one last year bloody hell.

Crazy isn’t it. We waited years for a refresh then we get two quick updates.

Don’t see what the new one gives me to be fair over last years.

 

[uvarvu]

If I can get hold of a decent matter enabled door lock then I’ll upgrade otherwise I’ll stay put.

Not much, apart from the hdr10+ support, which not everyone will be bothered about seen as not all TVs support it, an Ethernet connection and more powerful processor for better energy efficiency, which helps cut costs for apple. That’s pretty much it.
Sure it’s faster, but the previous ones are fast enough, gaming aside, never used them for that.
I have a 2021 version and I will be sticking with that, I’m not throwing my money at something that I will see no benefit from.

Yeah there’s access to your iTunes library for films and tv shows.
