To get Dolby's premium 3D sound format up and running, you'll need an Apple TV 4K (obviously) and an Atmos-enabled soundbar or AV receiver.

If you can stomach the £179 price, the Apple TV 4K is its strongest TV streamer yet.In 2018, Apple made good on its promise and released an Atmos-friendly update for its flagship Apple TV 4K before 2018 came to a close.

But, if it’s principally TV and movies you’re bothered with, and you already have a sizeable stash of pre-purchased iTunes movie and TV content, there’s an awful lot to like here. In a market dominated by sub-£100 streamer sticks and set-top boxes, that’s no mean feat.Īpple might have a harder time of it in the UK where its content offering is flaky and Sky and BT have a stranglehold on 4K sports content.
By thinking laterally and removing the financial pain of migrating your favourite files to 4K, Apple has created a huge incentive for current and former Apple fans to consider buying one. Having said that, Apple has achieved quite the feat with its latest Apple TV.

Whether this is all offset by Apple’s 4K pledge to upgrade existing HD purchases to 4K depends on how much you already have in your iTunes library, but it’s nonetheless irritating that, having spent this much on a streamer, you might have to switch to another device to access The Great British Bake Off in HD. You can’t get access to Sky’s 4K sports coverage (although that holds true on any platform save Sky Q), and although there is a Now TV app, this only provides access to Sports via day passes. For UK users, there are no native All 4, Demand 5 or ITV Hub apps and, although All 4 currently allows users to stream via AirPlay (ITV Hub and Demand 5 block this), the resolution and quality is pretty terrible.Īpple TV 4K isn’t the best for UK sports fans either.
As far as 4K content goes, this is currently as good as it gets.īut there are gaps in non-4K content and significant ones at that. This is a game-changer and makes the Apple TV 4K a much more viable alternative to the Amazon Fire TV stick, if you’re an iOS user.
Yes, you get Netflix and, yes, at long last there is now support for Amazon Prime Video as well. The slightly iffy bit about the Apple TV is the choice of native apps in the Apple TV App Store, which still isn’t all that great. It’s also worth remembering that it supports playback of both music and video content via AirPlay, so even if the selection of native Apple TV apps doesn’t cover your favourite service, you may still be able to stream it to your TV. It charges via Lightning connector, just like an iPhone, and it also has infrared support so you can use it to control the volume on your TV or set-top box. This works a little like Sky Q’s touchpad remote (just a tad more reliably). Six buttons are arranged in the centre of the remote’s body providing quick access to core functions such as Siri voice commands, volume and play/pause, while a clickable, swipeable touchpad tops the remote. The Menu button now has a raised white ring surrounding it but, to all intents and purposes, it functions precisely as it did before. The Siri remote is also barely different from the two-year-old HD-only Apple TV. It’s intended more for storing installed apps and games.
The Apple TV 4K comes in either 32GB or 64GB variants, although note that this won’t allow you to store much content locally, whether 4K or 1080p.

For streaming and downloading, the TV 4K has dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi connection, and there’s also Bluetooth 5 for connection to the Siri remote. Still, there’s plenty of wireless connectivity. For anyone with a sizeable collection of movies bought through iTunes, it will be a hugely attractive purchase. Apple TV is no longer an overpriced, under-featured alternative to the Chromecast Ultra, but a viable choice for anyone looking to expand into 4K and make the most of their existing hardware. In one fell swoop, this move transforms what might have been a bit of a soggy sock of a launch into a firecracker. Given the delay, you might have expected Apple to take the softly softly approach, but far from it with its latest streaming, Apple is fully embracing the 4K revolution.Īt the same time as introducing 4K hardware and 4K movies to the iTunes store, it has pledged to keep 4K content prices the same as HD prices were before, and at the same time is converting customers’ existing iTunes purchases to 4K for free.

While other devices and platforms have had the format for some time, and many modern TVs are now 4K by default, Apple and iTunes had remained stout proponents of Full HD until the announcement of the Apple TV 4K. Apple is a little late to the party when it comes to 4K.
