😂😂

Bingo!!! And you’re welcome, thank you for watching Reme let me know how it goes!! 🔥

Much appreciated!! It’s definitely an upgrade that’ll be worth I think. Let me know how it works out for you though!

That is great to hear, thanks for watching!

I’m glad it made it your list, I’m pretty sure if you do decide to get it, it’ll work out for you!! Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome and thank you for watching. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks I really appreciate it, more vids on the way!

Thank you!! And thanks for watching!!

Thank you!! And you definitely should, the more I use it, the more I’m like “this was a good buy.” Any hesitation to why you think you won’t get it?

You’re welcome, and thank you I appreciate your support!

Whenever you do get it, let me know how it works out for you! Thanks for watching!

Much appreciated, let me know how that goes I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Thanks again!!

Thank you so much I really appreciate it, welcome to the community!!

Thanks I appreciate that! And of course, I think Apple has some great stuff out and in the pipeline to release, so you definitely will be seeing more soon!

Yea for sure! But not sure how much they can change with the Apple TV, the chip upgrade mainly. But that in itself is already functioning very well. They just released a recent tvOS upgrade which unlocks more ways to integrate with your current Apple devices. I’d be curious to see how can they really “upgrade” the next Apple TV.

Lol totally understand, I was legit in the same boat but got rid of them all 😂

Yes it was a good review

Thank you for the kind words!! I’m super thankful for those who have subscribed and willing to walk with me on this KZfaq journey and hopefully gain a little if not a lot of value from each video in some way. And if you have the idea in your head of starting it, you’re majority of the way there! Let me know if you have any questions if you do decide still learning myself but more than happy to share what I know! Best of luck to you as well, glad you’re loving the Apple TV just like I am lol. Thanks for the sub and welcome to the community 🔥

I was so excited to hear about tvOS 17, that FaceTime feature was probably my favorite lol. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much T!!

I definitely agree with the points you made there. How has that HomePod 2 been for ya, did you get 2 and link them together or just the 1? Curious to know your thoughts since you have it.

@@semajdenzel I gotcha brotha. So I actually picked up the HomePod pair because I had already had the mini pair which sounded really good. Setup was easy, literally the same set up as the minis. Just like an iPhone, the Apple TV 4K automatically detects the speakers and requests to connect either through the tv or the phone. I was actually a bit disappointed at first because I wasn’t sure if these HomePods were worth the money. But one night, i played some music went into my bedroom and realized that I could FEEL the bass coming from the pods and I actually had to reduce the bass. Those HomePods sounded as good as my old Sony sound bar setup and I was shocked lol That’s when I realized I was getting something out of my HomePods that I couldn’t get from my sound bar; You get Siri natively to the HomePod software so that’s a big advantage for functionality and especially anyone with an Apple based smart home. You get really crisp sound that actually does more than fill a room and if you have multiple HomePod minis you can play music universally from any room (if you have Apple Music, you have a software advantage over other services, since Apple Music has lossless audio and Siri requests typically work better with native Apple apps). I play a lot of music when I shower in the morning so this was perfect for setting a good mood. Now even though I think they were absolutely worth it, it was because I was actually getting more out of it compared to what I already had. The functionality is absolutely amazing and getting the HomePod 2s made me use my tv even more which was a pleasant surprise. The sound is definitely just as good as the original HomePod and the speed with how everything in the ecosystem responds with has been amazing. Side note; I think the image quality the Apple TV provides might not be talked about enough from what I’ve seen from reviews because I noticed a huge upgrade in picture quality when I went from my old Samsung tv to Apple tv

@@stud_ley Wooow truly appreciate you breaking it down like that. Because I had been seeing some mixed reviews and people just flat out trashing it, but it was on my slate to try as I am slowly leaning into the Apple ecosystem more and eventually will replace my older sound bar with something else just not sure what yet. But they’re definitely on the pickup list for sure. Just gotta few other items in the queue for the coming weeks. But if/when I drop it looking forward to circling back on those conversation about it. Image Quality: yea I can definitely tell the difference in it, hard to kind of showcase on camera no matter what camera you use but was shocked at how sharp it was when using my go to apps like HBO Max (MAX now) and Hulu Live (4K Hulu Original content on a lot of shows and movies) but definitely an upgrade from the stock Samsung apps I’d use.

@@semajdenzel not a problem brotha. Yeah I mean I can prob see why some people would trash it. Siri still isn’t Alexa or Google so if you have smart home devices that aren’t Apple, there’s no real reason to buy 2 HomePods because the smart home functions might get pretty clunky. There’s also the price tag which might be steep af to some and when compared to other NON smart home speakers, you’ll find it’s lacking, but from some reviews I’ve seen some people have said that the sound quality can compete with some high end speakers. If you consider the smart home stuff a plus and just want extra convenience and functionality, then I can safely recommend getting HomePod speakers but consider 2 because with 1 you won’t really get a home theater experience. They fit aesthetically, the sound and quality is great (it also supports dolby atmos), less wires and configuration, all you gotta do to turn the tv on is to tell Siri, there’s definitely a lot of quality and convenience that comes with having them. However, it’s Siri not Alexa and I think that’s important to note

@@semajdenzel clicked that sub button for ya btw my man, keep doing your thing ✊🏾

Thank you so much I really appreciate the kind words! And I’m glad you’re enjoying your Apple TV as well as the Apple products you have. It takes some getting used to be over time you get the hang of it haha. And congratulations on retiring as well, looking forward to chatting with you in the comments again soon!

Thanks for watching!!!

Appreciate you letting us know about your experience. Are you an Apple user overall or just use the Apple TV itself?

Hmmm before I answer tell me more of what you’d be using it for specifically, just casually watching Netflix, using for home theater system, etc. and from there I could tell you “Yea or Nah, let’s find something else”

No need to apologize, it’s welcomed here so thanks I appreciate the insight, worked on increasing the audio in other vids but a still work in progress overall haha. But appreciate you dropping by 🔥

So I just tested it out on my Apple TV, and unlisted a video of mine. And it did not show up on the KZfaq app on the Apple TV. So I believe this is what you said a limitation with the KZfaq TV app in which unlisted videos aren’t shown. Let me know if you have other questions, hopefully that doesn’t deter from you buying it, outside of that specific use case it’s an awesome streaming device imo. Thanks for the support!

@@semajdenzel thanks for the reply and testing out my question. i will have to reconsider the apple tv. thanks again.

@@walkingmanvideo9455 No problem, anytime and I hope to see you in the comment section again soon!

The HomePod minis have amazing sound for their size! And you’re welcome I hope your smart room turns out perfectly, thanks for watching and for your support!

I got a one year residential fellowship in the Boston area. So I packed up my apartment (including my TV) but I wondered what I would use for a tv when I was in Boston. I didn’t want to bring my big tv since I was only going to be there for a year. It suddenly hit me. My 27” computer monitor had an hdmi port so I could hook up my Apple TV to it. But then I remembered that the monitor had terrible sound (which I later realized I couldn’t control with the Apple TV remote). But again it hit me, I had a HomePod mini that I was using in my bedroom (not for music but for Siri commands). So I decided to bring that with me too. I didn’t have a chance to test everything out before I left. But now that I am here it is working like a dream. I hooked up the Apple TV to the monitor and then I used the HomePod mini as the sound source. Again, my cobbled together tv setup worked like a charm. The sound from the HomePod mini was perfect. I could control the volume from the Apple TV remote. It turned out to be the perfect temporary setup for the year that I am here. When I get back I will hook the Apple TV to my regular tv. I am now debating if I should buy a couple of HomePod mini’s for the tv. I will need to hear how good the sound is (I don’t remember it being terrible but who knows) before deciding.

Beautiful TV model btw but I completely understand. Just like any other accessory for a TV it’s meant to enhance, may not be the quality for you but could be in a different avenue. But my go to saying is “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” keep using the built in apps if it’s proving what ya need! Thanks for leaving a comment!

Unless Apple releases a new one with their event on 10/30, I would recommend it’ll have the latest TVOS available too. What’s your concerns about getting one?

@@semajdenzel My only concern is that Apple will release a new one, as soon as I purchase this one. Thank you for your insights!

@@mw7967 Ahhh I see yea that would concern me too haha. But I haven’t heard any talks about a new Apple TV being released so yea I’d check out the Apple Event 10/30 and see if nothing after that go ahead and buy one would be my suggestion. Because honestly I don’t there will be much change to the Apple TV even if they did, solely just my opinion. But I think it’ll be a good purchase

@@semajdenzel Thank you!

For sure! Chromecast is super simple as well and for the price, you cant beat it! When you measure performance against it though Apple just went into pure overdrive with this one.

That I’m not to sure of and not sure of honestly as specific audio configurations such as the one you’ve described is not my expertise. Hopefully another supporter seeing this may be able to assist, but my apologies for not being able to answer your concerns.

I can see the dilemma for sure, it’s so many various “streaming options” that causes that problem. The PS5 is powerful system so you can’t go wrong with using it, the APTV4K just has some benefits that may not even be beneficial for you specifically ya know? Thanks for watching! p.s. the return policy for most places is at least 2 weeks, maybe get it and try it out then take it back if you hate it 😂

@@semajdenzel I think I will get it to try it out! 😁 great video btw🔥

Honestly I think it’s depending on what improvements you’re actually looking for them to make, in playing some of the Apple Arcade games (not pictured in the review) they ran waaay smoother than I expected. I’m not to sure that the improvements that may come, will solidify the Apple TV as a true alternative to console gaming or rival that of a Nintendo Switch for example. So to answer your question I’d say get it now and then wait and see if they improve it to your liking, hope that helps thanks for watching!

@@semajdenzel thanks

I don’t understand why didn’t put m1 in it

@@macgamer1973 Same! I wonder if they’d do that with the next iteration of it. I’m pretty sure there’s pros & cons to having the M1 in the APTV4K though. Maybe more cons than pros I’d guess

Ohhh okay, I gotcha! Maybe it’s something they’d think about doing in the next release of the Apple TV.

Its a 55 inch

This is awesome, I appreciate you taking the time to really walk us through your setup and how beneficial the Apple TV is to your setup!

Agree 👍 And Sony remotes have had bad volume response for years now, so hopefully the Apple will be light speed compared to Sony. I'm in the process of having my A80J Bravia fixed by Sony under warranty. I lost Wi fi and Lan connectivity, so Sony sent a tec guy out to replace the WiFi/BT internal chip, but now the Tec guy said the mother board needs replacement, he also mentioned Sonys internal apps are slow and said just get a stream device for now. So everything else works on my Bravia. I'm gonna now go down to BB and utilize the Apple for now and may ditch the Google platform or have both once it's fixed. 🤞

For sure!!

Completely understand, apple tends to find a way to force you to have to buy certain accessories. But they’ve been like that since maybe the IPhone XR, 11 & SE when they started to remove the power brick from the box and made you buy it separately. Not sure why it’s that way but can be frustrating for sure

Thank you for the support, I appreciate it!

❤️

NVIDIA to me is like the superhero who doesn’t really know their own strength, like they could really dominate but choose not to and be passive haha

Are you still debating on purchasing it?

Yea it definitely can get tricky with various streaming services, thank you for insight and thanks for watching!
