I sold my Apple TV 4K and bought a Fire TV 4K and pocketed the difference. The Fire TV does have slightly more stupid ads on the home screen for shit like McDonald's but the Apple TV would gladly advertise me shit to buy on iTunes. Slightly more relevant ads maybe but still ads. Otherwise it does everything I did with the Apple TV plus works better with my Echos plus has Firefox for watching random vids on the web. Also the Fire TV doesn't suffer from the maddening Netflix bug that made the interface slow to a crawl if browsing for 5 minutes.
- katbyte 5y agoAppleTV has never shown me ads so I’m not sure where you saw them? The new Apple TV just announced has a much better looking remote
- salamandersauce 5y agoThe top banner showing you movies to rent, sign up for Apple Music, download this app? It's just advertising. The new remote looks alright. Knowing Apple it's probably still too thin and easily slipped through couch cushions.
- katbyte 5y agoThat’s what air tags are for! Shocked they didn’t put that tech into the remote. I think that must be how you configure it? The too banner does not show that for me - it grabs the shows I e been watching from infuse tv and. Puts them there
- LexGray 5y agoApple TV app banners (ads) are easily adjusted. Just put different apps on the top row. I mostly have folders up there and it rotates through the app banners when you have the folder selected.
