Advice for my first Apple TV device

Channels Apple TV
#1

We've been an Android household but I'm getting tired of hearing complaints in my family about the Android client app having issues. And especially my wife who has said to me more than once: "You're paying for this? Why don't they fix it?"

Unfortunately, Android is not getting as much love as the Apple platform, and I understand why.

So...

I'm seriously considering getting an Apple TV at least for our living room to start.

I just saw one model that I can get from a store and it's the Apple TV 4K 128 GB (3rd generation) with Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Price: $149.99

Is it a good one? Is there a better one?

I use that one in my bedroom on my 4K Tv and I use the model just below that in the living room with my projector. I haven't had any issues with either model. You can't go wrong with that one.

There are rumors of a newer model coming out but..... it is just a rumor so who knows. I have 3rd gen and 2 second gens. Go with the 3rd gen... the remote that comes with the 3rd gen also has usb c port for charging where the second gen had the apple proprietary charge port.

Also I went from android to apple and didn't regret the change.

Thank you. Order placed. I will receive it tomorrow.

It started with one, but now I use 4 different AppleTV4k’s of different generations in different rooms. Each has been solid whether on Ethernet or WiFi. Hope you love it!

I shouldn't of read this thread....I also have an Apple TV 4K 128GB (3rd Generation) en route now. Never owned an Apple product as I've been using the NVidia Shield Pro since I started with Channels. The interface is getting tired and it's from 2018 so figured will give it shot.

Curious... do the Apple devices scrimp on ram like every.single.f'ing.android.device?

In other words, do they have more than 3gigs of ram? I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they had one with 6 or 8gigs.

Hell, I'd buy 2 more Shield Pros if they came out with new models that had nothing more than added ram to make them 8gigs. Still haven't found a reputable Android device with more than 3g.

1st and 2nd gen ATV 4K models had 3GB of RAM, and the 3rd gen was 4GB I believe. Storage capacity was either 64GB or 128GB.

you're are confusing RAM with storage. they don't come with that much ram, only 3 or 4 gigs of ram.
