The 2021 Apple TV 4K Review; 1 month later! Here’s a quick unboxing, setup and overview of the features of this streaming box. Plus how good the new 2021 Apple TV 4K remote is!

If you’ve got a smart TV already (with the streaming apps installed), do we need an Apple TV 4K box at all? What does it offer over those? I’ll cover things like AirPlay, using AirPods to watch movies, Apple Arcade, the new remote and the differences between the 2021 model and the 2017 model. #2021AppleTV #AppleTV #AppleTV4K

Thanks for watching, Chris.

    Young man, I've been following your work for a few weeks. I'm 61 years of age, from California (for demographics info, if you're into that). Your videos don't waste my time, which is a far cry from 95% of YT creators out there; you're concise, your scripts are "just the facts" with minimal subjectivity and just a real good experience to view. I just subscribed. Your work is clean from a "mentally organic" point of view. I don't "feel" the visual clutter and overdone editing I see a lot on videos. You should do an iPhone "what's on my home screen" (if you have not done one yet). I think the audience who appreciate this type of clean ergonomic content would jump all over that. Well done, young man. Very well done. Cheers from America.

    This has been a great addition to my future entertainment center. 2021 Apple TV makes everything so simple and organized. Great presentation!
  • @shervinox
    This is one of the best reviews on anything ever. Going to important detail without overwhelming me about it. providing decision guide at the end. Perfect! (Going to get one tmrw :d )
  • The two features that immediately get my attention: the new remote and the AirPods compatibility. I’m still using an Apple TV 3 so there are a plethora of things that make it a massive upgrade, but those two things are what are selling me most on it haha. Having a full OS instead of a baked interface would be nice also.
  • Fantastic review mate and beautifully shot. One question, does this version require line of sight for the remote to work? Apple told me it does, but you seem to place yours in a cabinet… thanks mate
  • @jerryl10000
    Best streaming device on the market, I bought 3 of em. Airplay from iPhone/iPad/Mac is a breeze and content streaming is a walk in the park.
  • @rickbeyers
    Looking forward to upgrading. thx for the review.
  • Never owned one, but I want one so bad. It will help my PS4 chill from streaming a lot. Waiting for my sound bar first though. Nice solid review though. Nice to check the menu out. 2021 Apple TV 💪
  • @TheCyab
    I appreciate how you gave us a solid buyers guide with getting the 32gb. Makes solid sense. Thank you
  • @PL-im4mg
    Great video. Thank you. Have you tried it with HomePod minis as main speakers for your tv? Would it be better than regular active speakers?
  • @TPRErik
    The black levels have been corrected in Dolby Vision on the new model.
  • The reason why I upgrade from the 4k 1 generation to this new one just because of the arc function, now it make my homepods alive when I playing PS4 and switch, the performance is really good!
  • @Senuta76
    I’ve been waiting on a video like this. I’m a 1st gen Apple TV 4K owner and answered my questions and I am going to wait and hold off on Gen 2 since they really do not have any big differences. I feel the 120 FMS is pretty much still away from use on the 2nd gen least for now.
  • @baba67rc37
    Good job man this is my first Apple TV 4K and I love it it
  • @nurmbms90
    Hope to see a review about your AirPods max soon . Great review man 🤙🏽👍🏽
  • @KevinReadOz
    One feature you missed of the new 4K Apple TV is the ability to act as audio passthrough for anything connected to your television. Just needs to plugged it into the HDMI ARC port. and you can use your HomePod as the audio output for all connected devices.
  • @zappzack
    Another great video, thanks mate! Love the way you compare against the old model and call out the fact that you can buy the remote separately. I am a heavy user of the Apple ecosystem so I have been considering buying an Apple TV for a while. This is just the review I needed to make the decision.
  • @ericsoli1477
    Great video, and I really like the depth of the content. I just purchased a LG OLED 77 CX and I’m on the fence whether to purchase the new Apple TV box. Do you think it’s worth it, if I don’t have a 4K box already?
  • @richardv.3875
    Thanks for this review. I'm thinking about buying an Apple TV and your review is really useful to guide my choice.
