That said, I’d love the Apple TV 4K at $99, as it’s very similar to the Roku Ultra (2022), which doesn’t make you pay $20 more for Ethernet - and has that lost-remote finding feature I'd like from the Apple TV. Its $50-lower price makes the Apple TV 4K is more accessible than ever. The new Apple TV 4K (2022) makes one of the best streaming devices even better, but it does so in the most important way.

A future update will add voice recognition that personalizes recommendations depending on who asks Siri for help. tvOS' multiple user support means the TV app offers user-specific content in the TV app, a For All of You row in that app that presents recommendations that all users will be interested in, and a Shared with You row with content shared with you in the Messenger app. Apple TV 4K (2022) review: Search and SiriĪpple's also offering smart home integrations, so you can get picture-in-picture live views of HomeKit cameras, control of Matter and HomeKit accessories. Considering what Apple does with app updates in iOS and macOS, it’s odd they’ve yet to offer such a screen.
Apple’s tvOS only shows you how much space your apps are taking up, and you need to search for an app in the app store (and disable automatic updates) if you want to manually update an app.

Apple only mentions live TV in its app when it comes to sports games, many of which are locked behind regional sports networks you can only get on DirecTV Stream.Īlso, the Chromecast has a series of menus that allow you to view on-device storage and manage pending app updates including a way to install all available app updates in a single click. Chromecast with Google TV and Fire TV have built-in TV guides for paid live TV services such as Sling and YouTube TV.
Also, Chromecast’s Continue Watching row still feels half-baked.Īpple still has room to improve, though. Also, those (like myself) who want control of their device will be happy they’re not surrendering their screen to ads for Thursday Night Football, random cars and other stuff.

Apple claims this chip will offer up to 50% faster CPU performance, up to 30% faster GPU performance and up to 20% faster app load times vs the 2021 Apple TV Plus (and 200% vs the now-retired Apple TV HD).įolks who pay for all of the best streaming services and also use other apps will appreciate that. This much power makes me wonder if Apple’s got more plans for the Apple TV 4K than just streaming and casual gaming. This is the same chip powering the iPhone 14, iPad mini and the iPhone SE, and it’s faster than the A14 and A13 in the iPad (2022) and the iPad (2021).

The next-biggest upgrade (after price) is the Apple A15 Bionic system-on-chip that replaces the A12 Bionic chip from last year’s model. Time (in seconds) to load apps Header Cell - Column 0Įditor's Note: This table has been updated to reflect the Apple TV 4K and Fire TV Cube's much-faster load time for Netflix upon second testing. Maybe it’s because Siri isn’t exactly a beloved voice assistant. It’s hard to tell why the Siri button is almost kept off to the side, like a relative you don’t want to sit next to at Thanksgiving. Slightly-hidden on the side is a Siri button. Then, you’ve got play/pause, mute and volume controls. Double-clicking the TV button opens an app-switcher model. The ‘back’ and ‘TV’ buttons come next, and the latter can be re-mapped to be a ‘home’ button if you don’t live inside the TV app. Unfortunately, a new Apple TV 4K remote bug has become a pain in our rears, and we're hoping to see it fixed soon.Īpple’s still a minimalist with regard to buttons. That surface also has touchpad-like input for swipe navigations, and skimming across the timeline for your movies and TV shows. The only difference is that it charges via USB-C as opposed to Lightning (much like the upcoming USB-C iPhone) This remote ditched the widely-disliked touchpad interface for one with directional buttons (which sits below a power button). The Siri Remote included with the Apple TV 4K (2022) is nearly identical to the more-than-welcome upgrade one that came with last year’s model.
