Apple TV refers to a streaming media player. This means it takes content from the internet and displays it on your TV. Apple TV 4K models support 4K Ultra HD and HDR video. Apart from that, the Apple TV HD supports 1080p HD. The 4K model has some higher-end tech specs for wireless, ethernet and much more. Both the models have a dedicated app store. They have a TV app that offers guide and search capabilities among various popular apps. There are Siri voice capabilities for search and other functions.
The remotes have been made with a touchpad to swipe along with buttons, volume buttons, and Bluetooth and can be used as a motion controller for compatible video games. It works with third-party controllers for sophisticated gaming. It can be paired with Apple AirPad and AirPad Pro headphones for private listening. Along with Apple’s own digital video options, the device supports most of the top entertainment providers like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, YouTube, and much more.
Currently, Apple does not have a list of apps it supports on its website. If you want to check if a certain streaming content provider is available, just check Google with the name of the provider plus Apple TV.
