Review on TV box Apple TV 4K 32GB, black by Goro Shimada ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

I will not say that the device is on the top five. highly dependent on the specific use. I took it to the kitchen to watch TV shows and youtube. sometimes movies. in principle copes with all tasks. if there are subscriptions to paid services - everything is perfect. if you want to watch illegal content: everything is not so smooth anymore, but you can live. you can basically run series from your phone and fumble the video from the player via airplay, if this does not work (apparently somehow apple is fighting piracy), you can also fumble the screen from the poppy via airplay (so far apple is powerless and everything works clearly). you can download torrents to a stationary computer, run a plex server on it, and run a plex client on apple tv - everything works fine even over wifi

Pros
  • - remote fire, touch panel is very convenient, but you should buy a cover. the glass front panel most likely will not withstand a fall on the tile. - stability and speed of work. no glitches or freezes. - a lot of software, but mostly focused on paid content - it pairs with airpods elementarily through the menu (in tvos 13.3), it also works clearly with a sony bluetooth speaker. - additional airplay display for macbook - itself compact + built-in power supply - animated intros are beautiful - the remote control needs to be charged very rarely (now it has 72% charge after a month and a half of operation) - for Full HD, a good b / g / n WiFi router is enough (ac is not needed)
Cons
  • - there is no voice input from the remote control even in English if the system language is 2022 (it's not about siri) - no 2022 keyboard if the system language is English - the speed / sensitivity of the touch panel is not very high - scales incorrectly at 1650x1080 (but 1920x1080 is ok) - click on tap on the touchpad does not work (as on the touchpad), it requires a physical click - from sleep mode, it still does not start at lightning speed - it needs 10 seconds. - problems with sharing illegal content from the phone via airplay (for some sites it works, for others it doesn't) - sometimes connects with the remote control with a delay - youtube application is far from ideal (yes, this is not an apple problem, but there are no alternatives either) - youtube even with a premium subscription does not play in the background (podcasts play)
