This is my Gen 1 (2017) Apple TV 4K Review in 2021, is it still worth it? How good is the Apple TV 4K for streaming and gaming (using Apple Arcade)? Why would you need one?

Could this streaming box replace Smart TV apps, or does it bring no extra value? Some features include AirPlay, screen mirroring, multi-account and AirPod support. I’ll do a quick unboxing, setup and review of the entire Apple TV offering.

Note: This video was uploaded 3 hours before the Apple event. 99% of this video is still relevant with the new 2021 Apple TV.

    The new 2021 Apple TV offers a higher frame rate, a new chip and a new remote. Will anyone be picking it up next month?

  • @FroZoneDeNiro
    The Apple TV 4K 32GB is my streaming device of choice and I love it...And yes imo running apps on any streaming device will always be better than running them on just a smart tv.
  • @jubroo_ok
    I'm from Uruguay and I'm learning English and I love your channel, I can understand all yours videos. You're amazing bro.
  • @thejoker5755
    I use an LG TV for all my streaming apps, then my PS5 for the rest (HBO Max, Crunchyroll etc) would it be better to get a Fire stick for something like that? The resolution would be higher no?
  • @JorgeAngelo.
    Hi SpawnPoiint!! Please do that video about quality picture comparing native apps on tv to apple tv, it would be very interesting! Great video as always!
  • I am watching 4K movie through my 4K PC now. Is there any benefit of using this new Apple TV 4K over 4K PC. I am not playing game. Watching movies only with 4K TV HDMI 2.0 (no HDR). Thanks
  • @liquidgroove
    Can VPNs be used with Apple TV - especially for watching other region content on Netflix for example?
  • @hnp152
    I’m planing getting a 5th Gen Apple TV to AirPlay games from my iPad, is it still smooth because if it not, lag when play games is terrible
  • @xtreme-pc7pz
    Hi SpawnPoiint, did you had a chance to compare the LG OLED to Samsungs QLED like the Q90T or Q95T? How does the OLED handle brightness and and is it worth the surcharge of an OLED to a QLED? Sorry for my english, I am from Germany :D
  • @fahadal1037
    Apple TV 2021. Could you please help me on how to connect two headset at the same time on Apple TV? I have two of SONY WF1000xm4. Much appreciated.
  • @d.l.t7421
    Your TV is so BEAUTIFUL! 😩 I’m jealous
  • @danielprice6184
    I have to agree that streaming does seem to look better via Apple TV vs native app. One of the main things I use the Apple TV 4K is for BT sport. As this is only available on Samsung smart TVs and not LG the app looks amazing when watching 4k hdr content.
  • @trd2418
    Crazy you are using your phone to Film this 🙌🏻
  • @jp1583
    I have lg CX, I connected the 4K Apple tv but for some reason it will play for few seconds and then it goes to tv demo. Do you know what I need to do ?
