Agreed. I only wish they streamed in a higher quality. 1080p looks pretty bad on a 27" 4K monitor.

- tpmx 6y agoI'm getting what looks like roughly a 6000 kbps stream (quick calculation from fragment size/m3u8 fragment duration). It looks very good for 1080p. As a comparison I'm typically getting like 1500 kbps from Netflix on a 1 gigabit per second connection on their "HD" plan.
- foepys 6y agoNetflix is using H.265 with adaptive bitrate encoding if your device supports it, what codec is Apple using? Simply comparing bitrates is outdated.
- tpmx 6y agoWith my browser (chrome) it was H.264. Still, I'd take 6 Mbps H.264 over 1.5 Mbps H.265 any day. I'm sure the apple stream was VBR as well - I tried to pick a representative/average segment to do the quick calcs on.
- auggierose 6y agoIt is 4K on an Apple TV. At least it looks like it :-D
- moogleii 6y agoIf you were watching on YouTube and Safari, you were limited to 1080p. The Apple site and ATV were in 4k.
