We person rounded up some written and video reviews of the caller ‌Apple TV‌ 4K below.

Written Reviews

The ‌Apple TV‌'s show improvements were somewhat noticeable to reviewers, but they noted that determination is small that tin instrumentality vantage of it different than games. TechCrunch's Darrell Etherington:

If you person a 2021 Apple TV 4K, which I do, you astir apt aren’t feeling the pinch successful presumption of performance. In fact, I inactive person a first-generation Apple TV 4K successful progressive use, and contempt it present being six years old, I’d beryllium hard-pressed to archer the quality betwixt it and my 2021 Apple TV successful a unsighted test.

That said, the 2022 Apple TV 4K does look to mostly marque things snappier erstwhile it comes to navigating betwixt the Home Screen and apps, and adjacent perchance wrong apps arsenic well. It besides decidedly offers a boost erstwhile it comes to utilizing the Apple TV arsenic a gaming device, helping it support up with the astir graphically-demanding Arcade and App Store titles available. With expanded controller enactment via the astir caller tvOS update, the Apple TV is simply a amended gaming console than ever combined with the A15's show prowess.

CNET's Eli Blumenthal noted that the A15 does not materially amended the gaming experience:

NBA 2K23 loaded quickly, and the crippled yet has commentary which brings immoderate console-like prime that was lacking successful earlier editions, but that's wherever the similarity ends. In my fewer games, the rubric looks and feels a spot slower than the console version. Even with an Xbox controller paired to the Apple TV 4K, determination is nary nonstop passing and animations deficiency the fluidity and sharpness of the crippled connected Xbox One, fto unsocial Xbox Series S/X.

Face models are fine, but deficiency item successful players' tattoos similar D'Angelo Russell and Marcus Smart. Standard hoops crippled staples similar instant replays and speedy oregon batch substitutions besides stay absent arsenic bash 2K23 crippled modes similar The City.

Gameloft's Asphalt 8 Plus likewise loaded rapidly and played good utilizing the Apple TV's included Siri Remote. But determination isn't ray-tracing oregon different modern graphical improvements that would marque anyone confuse this rubric for a PlayStation 5 oregon Xbox Series S/X game.

All told, determination doesn't look to beryllium thing other that the A15 Bionic brings to gaming connected Apple TV 4K.

The Verge's Chris Welch said that portion the USB-C charging larboard of the caller ‌Siri‌ Remote is simply a invited change, determination is inactive overmuch much that the distant could do:

Other than ditching Lightning for USB-C, the included Siri Remote is identical to the anterior generation. This is mostly positive: it's ergonomic and casual to use, and erstwhile you get down the clickpad's rotational motion for rapidly scrubbing done a movie oregon show, you'll seldom fuss with the aged little businesslike mode of fast-forwarding and rewinding. I bash severely privation that Apple had included a U1 spot successful the caller distant that would've made it casual to hunt down with precision utilizing a adjacent iPhone. Failing that, adjacent a built-in talker would've been bully for a "Siri, find my remote" command. This distant isn't arsenic casual to suffer arsenic the erstwhile stupidly bladed version, but it inactive happens to the champion of us. You tin adhd backlighting and a raised nub connected the play / intermission fastener (making it easier to find by feel) to my privation database for the adjacent iteration of the Siri Remote.
