The likely reason for this is that the movie will only output in the highest resolution available on your device. If you have an iPad which only supports p, then that's what the 4K movie will play at. Aug 11, AM. More Less. Communities Get Support.
Basically, if you've bought a new 4K TV within the last year or two, the Apple TV 4K will likely be able to get the most out of it. It scrapes the old touchpad in favor of a more traditional D-pad controller, and it has dedicated buttons for power and Siri.
Also, it's a little thicker, more ergonomic and not as symmetrical so it should be easier to navigate in the dark. Apple has integrated the new Apple TV 4K with Thread, a low-power mesh networking standard similar to Zigbee or Z-Wave that's designed to make smart home devices — such as smart home cameras, smart doorbells, small thermostats and more — work better with each other. It's one of two Apple products that supports Thread, including the HomePod mini, but there a large number of third-party gadgets that support Thread and Apple is expected to release new gadgets that support Thread in the future, as well.
So if you're building a smart home around Apple's HomeKit and you want the best possible experience, it's a good idea to update to the new Apple TV 4K. Apple takes the protection of your person information very sincerely, which is a big reason to use Apple's streaming hardware over just using its services on a third-party TV or dongle.
If you don't have an Apple TV streaming box, then your streaming activity and account information isn't monitored by Apple, but by the hardware companies that are running its software — and they likely don't have the same rigorous standards of protecting your information as Apple. Getting Apple's TV hardware gives you the extra peace of mind that your information is throughly being protected.

If you have a HomePod or HomePod mini, an Apple TV lets you use them as speakers for your television, which makes for a sneakily good surround sound system. So if you frequently watch cable or play a game console, you can get the HomePod to work with those as well. The public beta for tvOS 15 is available now. The full software update is expected to roll out later this year likely in September.
Similar to how services like Netflix allow you to switch between different profiles, offering individualized experiences split between different members of the household, so too does the Apple TV. For example, if you watch a lot of action movies, and your wife watches dramas, and your son or daughter watches cartoons — all those movie and TV show suggestions don't get muddled together.
A relatively minor feature of the Apple TV that has ardent fans is its screen savers. When your Apple TV is idle for a certain number of minutes, its display switches to a screen saver, typically featuring beautiful videos. There's a persistent Walmart icon near the Android navigation buttons you can't remove. You'll see ads from the Walmart app too, but you can disable it. Software updates are the real problem.
It's currently outdated, running Android 10, and it hasn't seen a security update since November But it's slim pickings for Android slates with the Google Play Store, and this is about as cheap as they come. I used it to follow a recipe in the kitchen with no trouble, and despite the low-res screen, I watched Mulan before bed. It has decent speakers! It comes with a dock that turns it into a Google Assistant smart display while it's charging.
It has a quad-speaker setup that rivals the iPad Pro's audio, and the Samsung's S Pen is included, so you can start sketching right away without having to spend extra on accessories. It also comes with Samsung's DeX software that converts Android into a desktop-like computing interface when you need it.
The rest of the features are nearly the same, but you'll save some money. It's not a laptop replacement, but it's great for media consumption and maybe some very light work. Who says tablets need to run operating systems originally designed for smartphones? Microsoft's Surface line employs Windows, making it a suitable choice for heavy, desktop-grade workflows. The Surface Pro 8 is your best choice: It's powerful, has a large inch screen, and has a Hz refresh rate.
The best part is the built-in kickstand, which lets you plop it down on almost any surface. It's not as polished as an iPad in tablet mode, but Windows 11 has larger touch targets that make it easier to use. Our main gripe? Battery life is lackluster. The Surface Go 3 suffers from similar battery woes, but it's a cheaper option. It's not as powerful, so it's better suited for simpler tasks like writing emails, browsing the web, and watching Netflix.
