- Is the Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) worth it over cheaper streamers?
- If you own Apple devices and want the fastest interface with Dolby Vision and Atmos, yes. If you mainly stream on a budget, a Roku or Fire TV covers the basics for less.
- How does it compare with the 3rd generation Apple TV 4K?
- The 3rd generation adds the A15 chip, HDR10+ and a larger 128GB option on the Ethernet model. The 2nd generation is still fast and covers Dolby Vision and Atmos well.
- Do I need Ethernet, or is Wi-Fi enough?
- Wi-Fi 6 is fine for most 4K streaming. The Ethernet port helps in crowded networks or where Wi-Fi is weak, and it is only on this model, not the Wi-Fi-only version.
- What is in the box?
- The Apple TV 4K box, the Siri Remote, a power cord and documentation. An HDMI cable is not included.
- Can I use it without an iPhone?
- Yes, but setup is easier with an iPhone, and AirPlay and some features work best inside Apple's ecosystem.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision?
- Yes, it supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Dolby Atmos, provided your TV and sound system support them too.
