Long-time ATV user, and have just upgraded my TV to a new Samsung, so grabbed an ATV 4k.
A lot’s changed in 10 years. Samsung is now full of apps - covering pretty much everything I use ATV for - Apple TV+, Plex, BBC, Netflix, C4. BBC Iplayer also supports UHD on Samsung, but not ATV :(
TV also supports Airplay. To be honest, I’m now questioning what I need ATV for. I don’t use Siri, and things like fitness+ I can mirror from my iPad.
What killer apps am I missing out on? Can you convince me not to regret my new ATV?
(edit - I’m in the UK, although prob obvious :)
If you are a long time Apple TV user then you do not really need any convincing that the purchase was worth it.
Yes the iPlayer app on the ATV does not (yet) support UHD but that is down to the BBC and not Apple. You are not missing out on much as there is not much UHD content anyway on iPlayer. Hopefully one day the BBC will update their app for Apple TV and add in the guide they have on the web site and iOS apps.
Personally I have all the broadcast TV channel apps for the UK as well as Disney+, Paramount+ and Prime Video. I have two Apple TVs and its very convenient to have them linked to my account so I can pick up where I left off and even continue on the go on my iPhone if I feel like it.
There are games and such on the ATV but to be honest I do not bother with those - that’s what I have a computer for.
