...hasn't been into my life sooner.

Being an Apple sheep since iPhone 3G, I can't believe I have only now discovered AppleTV.

If I had used it sooner, I could have saved at least 200 days worth of life navigating through Android TV lag.

My top 3 Pros/Cons in the first week of AppleTV 4k:

Pros:

  1. Seamless experience of scrolling through different platforms. No lag. Gave new life to my 3 year old 65 inch Sony 4K TV.
  2. Picture is crisper compared to Android. Visually, this is what I've experienced. I don't know if it's got to do with their processing or it's just a placebo?
  3. No more shi*ty remote that breaks easily or goes missing. Can use my iPhone too. Go ahead and destroy/hide the TV remote for the 10th time, kids...Jokes on you!!

Cons:

  1. I did not buy it sooner
  2. Apple ads failed to convince me to buy it sooner.
  3. Minor depression from the realisation fact that I lost ~200 days of life from AndroidTV lag

Do not make the same mistake as me. Do yourself a favour and get an AppleTV.

This could be a post made by myself.

Apple user since iPhone 4s, and since then using loads of their products, physically and cloud.

Meanwhile a movie/serie addict, apart from downloading new(er) content (in a bad boy - way) i also used streaming apps on my 2016 old 60" TV. Always found it to be crappy.

Recently just tried AppleTV, and since then i do not use my TV with anything else; fast, high quality image, easiness of use, its wonderful for a decent price. I heard the new version will be even cheaper, coming first half of 2024.

Only issue is that homepod / my own soundbar isnt really working hand in hand together. Its a bit of a headache, but other than that its totally worth it.
