    32GB, yeah, nah.

      what do you use storage for?

      • pitufon on 07/01/2020 - 09:04

        apps and games, my kids play games on it.

      • PainToad on 07/01/2020 - 09:10

        People with the 32GB model will tell you "they never run out of space". What they won't tell you (or understand) is the device will atomically delete apps (or components of the apps) without you knowing about it (the app icon remains on the home screen). Then the next time you go to launch the deleted app, it will be slow as it re-downloads. This would be fine if your on 100Mbps, this would probably be fine I guess.

        The other thing is, the Apple TV is the one device where Apple doesn't rip you off with larger storage, so I would just spend the little extra.

        But, each to their own.

          Oh, no! I will never get over those problems.
          For 90% of the population 32 GB is heaps. They just don’t download all that many apps in the first place.

        • Randolph Duke on 07/01/2020 - 09:24

          Assuming you download a heap of apps/games. I don’t, I’d be fine with 16gb

        • jztilly on 07/01/2020 - 09:42

          ah ok. but if you're not looking to play games, 32gb will be fine.

          once you're setup with plex/netflix/stan etc, the storage isn't required?

    Good deal for the printer for those looking for a duplex printer.

    • coxymla on 07/01/2020 - 11:29

      According to HP the printer included ink cartridges are full-size and not "starter" editions.
      (That being said the standard ink cartridges for that model are not very large at all.)

      Instead of faffing around with a cashback you may prefer e.g. https://www.amazon.com.au/Canon-PIXMA-TS3160-Function-Printe… especially if you are a prime member. (no duplex though)

            @hetzjagd: Apple won’t support Google’s VP9 4K format. Also won’t support dolby atmos

            • hetzjagd on 07/01/2020 - 15:03

              @BaarOzGain: To clarify I understand appletv 4k doesn't support 4k youtube. Is it possible it could be included in a software update or is it a hardware limitation?

              • PainToad on 07/01/2020 - 15:12
                +2

                @hetzjagd: Apple could enable software decoding for VP9.

                or

                Google could offer HEVC streams in their app.

                Considering HEVC is a common standard and VP9 is not. I think Google are being bigger a-wholes.

                • hetzjagd on 07/01/2020 - 15:25

                  @PainToad: Cool. Thanks for that. Based on that, I will probably buy this anyway.

                  I assume no-one knows of an equivalent type product to this that can play 4k youtube that is at a similar price point? So essentially this is as good as it gets anyway?

                  I guess my tv does 4k youtube anyway so I can just bring up the slow app if I want 4k for the videos that have it.

                    @hetzjagd: People recommend Shield TV. But I've used Android TV before on a Nexus Player and the apps just aren't as polished as on Apple TV.

                    But I assume it will support 4K YouTube.

                    But really, do you need 4K YouTube?

                    • hetzjagd on 07/01/2020 - 16:49

                      @PainToad: Well do I need it no but apart from commercial applications probably no-one needs it. I sure as hell want it though

                    • everunman on 07/01/2020 - 16:56

                      @PainToad: if you have a 4k tv of course you want to take advantage of the picture, even though its compressed

            • Marwedel on 13/01/2020 - 16:24

              @BaarOzGain: Incorrect. Apple supports Dolby Atmos. And Dolby Vision. As long as your destination device can decode it of course.

          Plex/Infuse has far better playback on an Apple TV compared to Samsung TV. So for those that use that, well worth it.

    • mrau on 07/01/2020 - 10:35
      +4

      The performance of an Apple TV box is superb, the remote is excellent, and the apps and games you can load to Apple TV surely cannot be loaded to the Apple TV app. I use YouTube and other apps on Apple TV rather then on my TV set, as they all perform better.

      This is by far the best value device Apple has ever made. Is there anything else useful they sell for $200 new?

      • voiletmay on 07/01/2020 - 14:21

        Yes @mrau I am with you 100% on this. Between hubby and I we have bought five Apple tv's so far because we love them so much (one for each child and one for lounge and one for bedroom).

        Agree, they are the best value product Apple has ever made.

      • deanylev on 07/01/2020 - 17:14

        the remote is excellent

        Isn't it one of the biggest complaints?

        • Hunter14 on 07/01/2020 - 18:07

          Each to their own. I like it but do agree that some of the buttons are positioned incorrectly and the scrolling arrows can be a bit off at times. Love the simplicity and design but they can definitely improve on it in the next model.

        • Buy2Much on 07/01/2020 - 18:21

          You can use your iPhone as remote too.

    Can I get some opinions on why someone would even purchase the Apple TV 4K and I'm someone that uses Apple products and currently owns an Apple TV3 that I don't use at all. I understand access to iTunes I understand AirPlay from computer to television/Phone/tablet but I would prefer HDMI with no lag. I guess it can be used to record but I don't see any real reason for it.

    • vincesuarez on 07/01/2020 - 09:04

              since the App will come standard with most TVs going forward

              Ummmm, no. That's like saying Apple should of stopped making iPhones in 2015 because it released Apple Music on Android.

              Apple makes alot from the 30% cut it gets from subscriptions on other streaming services when people signup on the Apple TV.

              Plus the 30% from App sales on the Apple TV App Store.

              Plus so called "smart" TV have shitty processors, shitty UX, shitty remotes and are just simply shit. Apple will always want to cater for the market who appreciate quality products. All they're doing now is getting their services out to the masses that think their existing "smart" TV is good enough.

                @PainToad: Firstly, relax.

                Secondly, how do you know this with such clear concise certainty? Are you the one the Executives at Apple Inc speak to when making plans for its future? I doubt that. You speak with way too much authority.

                My Samsung Q9 QLED TV has a quad-core processor inside it, which is significantly different to the Apple A10X Fusion processor found inside Apple TV units. Now, you do understand the difference between a quad-core processor and a mobile processor, don't you?

                • thriftshop on 07/01/2020 - 18:21

                  @vincesuarez: It’s not just the processing speed. The app developers don’t choose to continue providing updates to the TV apps because there are so many of them running different operating systems / processors. It would take them an exorbitant amount of time with how many different model TVs there are out there, with different versions of operating systems.

                  The apps on the Apple TV are always prioritised by the app developers in terms of updates as they continue to be sold year after year. With the apps built into TVs you will be lucky to get two or three updates before the programmers of the app stop giving updates for that model TV. Happens all the time.

    • merill on 07/01/2020 - 09:11

      The ease of use of the interface is the big one for me. My 4 year old can easily use it to turn on the tv, launch apps, get in and out of apps quite easily and turn it off.

We also use it to access Youtube and netflix rather than the smart TV intferface. I have also started to use each channels apps to live stream their channels rather than changing to tv channels on live TV. Use the Apple tv every single day.Apple TV 3 is shocking compared to the Apple TV 4 or 4K in terms of interface.

      It's a media box. You can watch netflix, plex, stan, etc through it. Pretty easy to see why someone would purchase it? Even if your tv is a smart tv with apps, they'll be worse than the ones on this. I use a Mi Box on my TV even though it's got all the apps built in because they're better on the box.

      1. You should be able to use Infuse to play off the NAS. You can side load Kodi but need a developer account to do so. A modified version of Kodi called MrMC is available but you cannot install skins or add ons.

      Can you access the iTunes Store? If yes and your TV has the Apple TV app / supports Airplay I don’t see much benefit

        I don’t think it does!

      I use it for all my 4K movie/TV/Documentary contents from NAS

      Benefits:
      4K Streaming.
      4K HDR Gaming.
      Home Kit hub (smart devices that are Home Kit compatible, e.g. door lock, door bell, cameras).
      Mirror you Apple devices.
      Free Apple TV Plus subscription (not much contents at the moment).
      New streaming apps added as they become available (e.g. Disney+)

      @glados are you happy with the Sony Android TV interface? I have a 2018 Sony X85 and find the Android rather buggy, slow and unfriendly. I’ve got an ATV connected to this Sony TV and love it. Much better interface and to my eyes, better picture quality on Netflix, Prime, etc. than the native apps.
