Week I tested Apple TV 4, or to put it more clearly, I played with the product from Cupertino, it being praised by some and criticized by others, and this very rightly because it has strong points, but also many weak points.
Above all, Apple TV 4 it is small, very small, and its design and the remote control created by the Apple company give you the feeling of a premium product, but that's only until you start using the outdated user interface, which seems to have been designed for a long-gone era.
I tell you honestly that controlling the user interface a Apple TV 4 using the touchpad of the keyboard seems to me a very good way to torture users, and from many points of view the interface resembles that of a smart TV, i.e. an old concept that is no longer attractive.
Although Apple TV 4 it has powerful hardware, I encountered some native applications and some games that did not move quite so fluidly when opening, but this problem is encountered in all iDevices, so why not also in a small media player that is intended for movies but does not support 4K.
Controlling games using the touchpad or the gyroscope on the remote control did not give me the impression of a revolution in the field of gaming, as it was presented Apple TV 4, but on the other hand, the idea of rotating the iPhone in various ways to simulate controlling a steering wheel does not seem like a very good idea to me.
On the other hand, Apple TV 4 it's an excellent method of mirroring from iPhone or iPad on demand for a variety of multimedia content and this is practically one of its main strengths.
Of course, accessing the video library of the iTunes Store using Apple TV 4 is a huge benefit, if you live in a country where you have access to something else, otherwise you can settle for Netflix, a limited one, but still available in the end in Romania.
With the right applications Apple TV 4 it can become a real solution to turn your room into a small cinema, and in Romania this is the main functionality of the Apple product since we do not have access to most of the video services designed for it.
Apple TV 4 it is useful for those who live in countries where access to video streaming services is free, but in Romania, apart from the not so attractive games, you can settle for an intermediary for video streaming.
Would I recommend someone to buy Apple TV 4? To be honest, I think a console would be much more useful, it's a bit more expensive, but it offers a functionality that Apple TV 4 he will never have it in his existence.
If you are still interested in Apple TV 4, you can buy it at relatively decent prices.
