Here are what the best writers said.Ĭarrie-Ann Skinner is one of the smartest reviewers around, and her take on the new Apple TV box is suitably sharp. Reviews from journalists landed on Friday, May 2021. Apple TV 4K is an example of hardware being put into place to usher in that future.” “Some years back, Apple CEO Tim Cook told an audience that he believed the future of television lay in apps. On the latter point, for example, Apple TV 4K supports both gaming (through a €10 per month Apple Arcade subscription) and workouts (through a €10 per month Fitness+ subscription). He recognized it’s a pricier buy than some rivals and concluded that this is what you get for your money: “It’s two things, mainly: a slicker, more integrated user interface and a wider variety of functions. He also praised the remote and Apple TV’s integration with iPhone, especially for color calibration. An Irish request to Siri to play ‘The Crown’ on Netflix or ‘The Boys’ on Amazon Prime Video is met with the response that this command is “not available in your region”.” Frustratingly, there still appears to be some geo-restrictions on Siri with both Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, two of the three most popular film and television platforms. “But it’s not perfect for Irish users on content navigation. It’s activated by pressing a button on the side of the new remote control. “Although the main audio-visual draw here is 4K HDR at 60 frames per second, the big feature for me is that you can use voice-controls with an Apple TV for the first time in Ireland. He points out that there are now so many ways to stream Netflix, Amazon and so on, that the reason for the Apple TV box is less clear. Why? There's probably something better coming.”Īdrian Weckler’s incisive writing is always something to look forward to. Macworld’s conclusion was that apart from the remote, “hardly anything else changed for the 6th-gen Apple TV. However, since this is a feature of tvOS 14.5 the same trick can be performed for the old Apple TV.” It is an easy way to get a better picture from bad or incorrectly set up TVs. It then generates a colour profile that allows your Apple TV to compensate for errors in your screen's colour reproduction. The iPhone uses its light sensor to determine how close the displayed colour corresponds to the intended colour. Just activate the function in settings on your iPhone X or newer and then hold it against your TV screen. “The one thing that does improve the image quality is the ability to set the colour balance using your iPhone. Unlike some reviewers, who thought that the color calibration feature made little or no difference, they liked this.
