...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:
- Seamless experience of scrolling through different platforms. No lag. Gave new life to my 3 year old 65 inch Sony 4K TV.
- 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?
- 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:
- I did not buy it sooner
- Apple ads failed to convince me to buy it sooner.
- 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.
I got Sony xr 48a90k on Black Friday, and was looking forward to simplifying my setup. Thought I could use built in Google TV as it has Apple TV app and everything else. Google TV interface is ugly but I was going to swallow it just to make things a bit simpler. After one week of slow navigation and restarts I gave up. I reset the TV to remove Google account (apparently, you cannot simply sign out) and upgraded my Apple TV HD to 4K model. So, welcome back.
