Abstrakt: The new Apple TV delivers 1080p video along with the features and revamped user interface of "Software Update 5," a free update to existing second generation Apple TV users...
1080p, finally. Purchases from iTunes are stored in iCloud for syncing across devices. If you’re an iTunes Match subscriber, you can stream your tunes and playlists from iCloud. Use AirPlay to stream from any iOS device, or from any iTunes library on your network. Browsing and navigation is mostly painless,
Similarlypriced boxes (like the Roku 2 XS) offer more streaming services. Can’t remove or rearrange icons in main menu. 8GB storage is for caching only, and you can’t sideload content through the microUSB port. Remote is too simple and too easy to lose — luckily, the iOS Remote app is a solid substitute. No analog ports, digital connections only.

The downsides with Apple TV continue to be what they were in the previous version. There's no support for some of the other up and coming video streaming services like Vudu (who offers up to 9 Mbps 1080p streaming) or Hulu or countless others. In addition...

The Apple TV is still the exact same minimalist masterwork—deserving of a spot at the MoMA someday. It's unchanged from its prior form, and just as easy to set up: plug in the juice, hook up the HDMI, and you're in business. The equally minimalist remote,
Most of the way ain't all of the way. Streaming a file the size of a full Blu-ray movie just isn't feasible with today's internet speeds, unless you're using the WiFi at Los Alamos or sleeping with the cable guy or something. Apple has to cut corners usin
Despite its ugly new interface, the Apple TV is still the best of its breed. But thanks to its newfound stellar video quality, it now straddles two categories—sure, its the best streaming box, but it might actually give you a reason to avoid (or ditch) a...
Streaming media services are limited. No Hulu Plus
The new Apple TV is just a 1080p version of the old Apple TV with updated firmware, but it's still one of the best ways to watch your videos on your HDTV....
User experience & friendliness, AirPlay, 1080p movies & Netflix, Control everything with iOS devices, Home Sharing, Ridiculously low power consumption, Size and price
Requires other Apple devices, No 1080p24 support, No TV apps, 1080p a bit too compressed
The new Apple TV with 1080p looks exactly the same. Nothing has changed since the last generation of the box. The remote control is that same and you can use the same Remote app for your iPhone/iPad. But this is not a bad thing because last year's box was...

Dead-simple user interface and setup, Attractive, unobtrusive design, AirPlay makes screen mirroring a snap
Remote lacks QWERTY keyboard, needs line of sight, Lacks major streaming services like Hulu Plus, Pandora, Sometimes sluggish browsing, Requires iTunes for network sharing
Short of AirPlay and an idiot-proof interface, the current Apple TV offers little that can’t be found elsewhere, and lacks plenty that can. ...

So who should buy an Apple TV 3rd gen?iPad or iPhone Accessory – People who want to use the Apple TV as a portal to their TV for viewing content or streaming audio should go get one, with one exception. If you have a 2nd gen model, don't bother.Set-top Bo...
It's the only option for streaming iTunes content, Apple Music, HomeKit, and AirPlay further extend the box's usefulness, App-driven home screen is easy to understand, Fairly cheap for a high-end set-top box, Only platform that still lacks voice search
Outdated hardware translates to long loading times, Limited app selection, Remote is overly simplistic and depends on line of sight

The Apple TV lets you stream all the video content in the iTunes Store to your HDTV, with purchases stored in the cloud. Netflix, Hulu, HBO, YouTube and dozens of other online services are available, plus music, videos, and photos can be streamed from iOS
Lacks the app store, improved remote and voice functionality of the 2015 Apple TV. The competing Roku 2 and 3 offer more content sources (including Amazon Instant) and cross-platform search. And the Apple TV platform is less of a streaming standout if you
While it offers fewer native channels than the competition, the Apple TV is an indispensable living-room companion for anyone who's already invested in the iTunes and Apple hardware ecosystems.
