![]() ![]() ![]() Games that exceed 150W on PS5 such as The Pathless or Sayonara Wild Hearts draw 6W or less on the latest Apple TV.Īpple TV as a media playerSince the launch of the original Apple TV (4th Gen), later renamed to Apple TV HD, tvOS has gained new features such as frame rate and dynamic range matching, Dolby Atmos support for both video and music, Spatial Audio with AirPods, Home Theater mode with HomePods, and HDMI eARC to let Apple TV 4K (2021) and Apple TV 4K (2022) receive audio from a TV and all of the HDMI devices connected to it and beam it wirelessly to HomePods. It now has lower power consumption than Chromecast with Google TV and approximately 50% lower than Nvidia Shield 2019. MeasurementsApple TV 4K (2022) with the 5nm A15 Bionic is more power efficient and consumes even less power than its predecessors. We tested Apple TV 4K (2022) on tvOS 16.1 and 16.2 beta. We explored it in our review of the Apple TV 4K (2021) and have nothing to add. In addition, you can use the Remote app on iPhone/iPad or a compatible third party remote – lots of choices.Īn earlier tvOS update introduced 'Color Balance Calibration' to let you use an iPhone's Face ID sensors to calibrate your TV's color balance. ![]() The TV's remote control can also control the Apple TV user interface. ![]() Like before, Apple TV 4K (2022) automatically sets up HDMI CEC to let the remote control turn on/off and adjust audio volume on your specific TV brand / model. It is an elegant system (requires the use of iCloud Keychain on iPhone) but a new Apple TV should automatically transfer login credentials. It is a tedious process to log in again if you do not own an iPhone but if you do iPhone will automatically bring up a text field that suggests username and password for each service. Unfortunately, login credentials still do no transfer automatically for third-party apps such as Disney+ and Netflix. IPhone users can automatically set up Apple TV by holding their iPhone close to it. So stick to the price point, make the hardware as capable as possible, let the profits fund continuous hardware development. If a company does not make money on the hardware, it has to make money somewhere else. In the long run, it would ruin tvOS with more ads and more monetization. Apple should stick to its strategy and not engage in the race to the bottom like Roku or Google. The puck design is what allows Apple TV 4K to be many times more powerful. The remote control connects via Bluetooth so you can easily hide away Apple TV in a TV rack. Other advantages of MIMO include improved signal range, reduced errors, and reduced power consumption.Īpple TV is still considerably larger than Chromecast and other HDMI dongles but we don't mind. Both Apple TV 4K (2022) boxes support WiFi 6 – like the Apple TV 4K (2021) – now with 2x2 MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) which is method to multiply the bandwidth capacity by using multiple input and output antennas. To help offset the removal of the Ethernet port, Apple has implemented improved WiFi. In addition, the 128GB version features Thread for Matter smart home compatibility – more on that later. We have the 128GB version with an Ethernet port. To reduce costs Apple has removed the Ethernet port from the base 64GB Apple TV. This is explained mainly by the lack of active cooling (a fan) which is made possible by the more efficient A15 Bionic processor.
