Other platforms support Bluetooth earbuds and have similar remote capabilities, but having tried all of them, Apple’s execution is the most seamless. You can pair AirPods with an Apple TV for private listening or watch something together from afar with friends using SharePlay. Soundbar will stay on and automatically turn off in 20 mins - or turn it off with the Bose remote. Use your ATV remote to turn off the ATV and TV. Purchases and rentals can be authenticated with Face ID or Touch ID. Use the Bose Soundbar remote to complete to auto-wake process by pressing down the power button for 5 seconds until you hear and ascending sound (tone goes up with each beep). Your iPhone can play the role of remote control and, more usefully, you can use its familiar keyboard when logging in to all of those apps. It took under two minutes for it to fully restore my homescreen layout and download every app I’d had on the old one. This starts with the setup process: you just hold an iPhone near the Apple TV after plugging it in, and your Apple account, Wi-Fi credentials, and settings preferences are transferred to the new device. tvOS now supports a ton of third-party controllers, even if Apple Arcade has never taken off. I think its main purpose is to open up more headroom and raise the graphics potential for future games on the platform for those who actually play them. The A15 Bionic comes with a silly amount of horsepower for an entertainment gadget. It’s a straightforward user experience that’s free from the homescreen ads and sponsored content you’re so often served by Amazon and Roku.

Nothing in tvOS ever feels choppy or comes anywhere close. It’s all those people coming from the Apple TV HD that will really appreciate this bump in speed.

Apple says that apps are faster to load, but again, you’d be hard-pressed to feel that difference if you’re upgrading from the prior 4K. It’s perfectly fluid every time without any hint of stutter. Honestly, the last-gen hardware was already very quick, and the only area where I’ve noticed the extra speed this time is when pulling up the multitasking view / app switcher. Now pushed along by Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, the Apple TV 4K is more snappy and responsive than ever before.
