I’ve seen a few posts here and there raving about the Apple TV box but it’s always occurred to me what’s so special about it?
A lot of my products are Apple and I’m starting to try and build a smart home (nothing crazy) but I have Sonos, Nest etc and I’m wondering what an Apple TV can offer me. I’ve read a few blogs but nothing seems to scream out at me.
Smart TV’s seem to have a lot of streaming apps and I gather I can AirPlay to it. One thing that I did find interesting though, I saw someone comment earlier that you can just chuck your AirPods on and it seemlessly connects (albeit very rare I’d need to actually do this, like it was suggested if the other half wanted to go to sleep I could carry on and watch tv with my AirPods).
What are the other worthwhile benefits?
I have one on each TV at home to access my Movie and Series collection via Infuse, besides Netflix, Prime, Youtube and DAZN (NFL). The response time and the quality is much better that the smart TV embedded applications.
Another big advantage is that Apple TV apps are updated from time to time. The applications integrated into Smart TVs do not do this. Not to mention that it has more applications than those available on Smart TV ecosystem, like I mention DANZ to watch NFL season.
