I'm very suspicious of these numbers, I think they might be the maximum transient bitrate and not the average bitrate. Do you have an example of an AppleTV movie or show that actually has an average bitrate that high?
- radley 6y agoI didn't do anything fancy. I simply turned on the Developer overlay in my Apple TV 4K and played a few 4K movies (if available) in each service. The bitrates were consistent within each platform. I was very surprised by Apple's numbers (and HBO), so I did some Googling to confirm.
- leokennis 6y agoI know this is very unscientific, but I regularly watch a part of a 4K movie on the Apple TV app on my 4K Samsung, and then in 4K on Netflix as well. Netflix is superior in every regard (easy to browse, quick to buffer, if I rewind it’s instant) but even to a naked eye Apple’s quality is way higher. Less smudgy, more definition.
