Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) Review

Fast, responsive performance ; Deep integration with Apple devices and services ; Apple AirPlay 2

Pricey ; Confusing overlap of Apple tvOS and Apple TV app features ; Using Siri requires speaking into the remote

Despite a drop in price and a boost in performance, the third-generation Apple TV 4K is still an expensive media streamer that's best suited for Apple-centric households.

2022 Apple TV 4K review: HDR10+ rounds out an already excellent streaming box

A lower price makes this mostly unchanged device much more appealing.

Excellent app support and quality

No remote finder solution

Unless you own a Samsung TV and are obsessive about optimal HDR, there’s no reason to upgrade from another Apple TV 4K model. But if you’re an iPhone user who’s been using an older Apple TV HD, a game console, or (heaven forbid) your TV’s built-in apps...

Apple TV 4K 2022 review: An Apple Arcade playground | AppleInsider

The new for 2022 Apple TV 4K seems purpose-built for casual gamers and Apple Arcade enthusiasts. But, for everybody else, there's not much reason to upgrade beyond a USB-C Siri Remote or HDR10+.

Apple TV 4K (2022) review: The one you’ve been waiting for

This Apple TV 4K (2022) review shows why a new price, faster performance and more tweaks make it more compelling than before.

But for everyone who is not happy with the Roku, Fire TV and Chromecast with Google TV home screens? If you’ve got the money, I bet you’ll love the Apple TV 4K. Its performance is top-shelf, and the rest of the experience is a treat as well. Just make...

Apple TV 4K (2022) review

The best video streamer just got better (and cheaper)

Excellent picture ; Expressive sound ; Responsive user interface

Limited physical connectivity

The latest generation Apple TV 4K has a more powerful processor and a lower price – making this a no-brainer

Apple TV 4K (2022) review: the best streaming device is now better and cheaper

Apple's latest 4K streaming box is its lowest-priced yet

Match frame rate and HDR output options ; Siri remote now has USB-C charging ; HDR10+ high dynamic range support

Pricey for a streamer ; Many features aimed squarely at Apple users

The new Apple TV 4K isn’t exactly a radical re-imagining of the company’s streaming box, but it’s smaller (slightly) and adds a few new features such as HDR10+ high dynamic range support, USB-C charging on the included Siri Remote, and the company’s...

Apple TV 4K (2022) review: Excellent for Apple users

The Apple TV 4K (2022) adds HDR10+ support, upgrades the chipset and slims down the design. Is it worth buying though? Here's our review.

Great performance ; HDR10+ support ; Excellent features if you're an Apple user ; Siri is handy ; Lighter design

Design hasn't moved on much ; Netflix still not fully integrated ; Most features require Apple devices or subscriptions ; Expensive compared to competition

Is the Apple TV 4K (2022) the set-top box you should buy above all others? If you are an Apple user and Apple service subscriber then absolutely, it offers a great performance and experience with plenty on offer. If you just want a set-top box or stick...

Apple TV 4K (2022) review: Still the best TV streamer for iPhone owners

The Apple TV 4K is smaller, lighter and now fanless and also comes with HDR10+ support

Apple ecosystem integration is peerless ; Cheaper than before ; HDR10+ support

Expensive ; Not much new this time

Overall, this isn’t a huge update for the Apple TV 4K. It was already the best TV streamer on the market for iPhone owners, and already one of the most expensive streamers available – neither of those things has changed.
