Best Apple TV

The 64GB Apple TV 4K is the best you can buy today. It lets you watch 4K HDR content from iTunes, Netflix, and more, run apps and play games, and is small enough to fit almost anywhere.

64GB Apple TV 4K

See at Apple

With the latest update, Apple TV has gone fully 4K HDR, supporting 2160p in both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. It still has an App Store, so you can still download apps and play games, but it also has support for iTunes, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and more. And with Movies Anywhere, you can watch anything you’ve bought on any participating service using any participating service. About damn time.

With 64GB of storage, and Apple’s clever on-demand storage, there’s also room for everything you throw at — or download onto — it.

Bottom line: If you have a 4K HDR TV with Dolby Vision, this is the box you want attached to it,

One more thing: Apple TV also supports game controllers for that full-on console feeling.

Why the 64GB Apple TV 4K is the …

Apple could announce universal iOS/macOS apps as soon as WWDC 2018

Universal binaries for iOS and macOS would let developers share code, if not interface, between iPhone and iPad — and the Mac.

Because watchOS and tvOS are both based on iOS, apps for those platforms can share code, be packaged as universal apps, and be sold in bundles. Not so macOS, which uses AppKit instead of UIKit, the Mac App Store instead of the iOS App Store (and it’s offshoots for TV and Watch), and generally has to be planned for and executed separately. But just because that’s the way it is doesn’t mean that’s the way it’s always going to be.

Mark Gurman, writing for Bloomberg:

Starting as early as next year, software developers will be able to design a single application that works with a touchscreen or mouse and trackpad depending on whether it’s running on the iPhone and iPad operating system or on Mac hardware, according to people familiar with the matter.

Apple currently plans to begin rolling out the change as part of next fall’s major iOS and ma…

To Mac or not to Mac: That is the question…

Best 4K Streamers of 2017

It’s easier than ever to watch 4K content. It’s also more confusing than ever. This will point you in the right direction.

It’s all about 4K, right? Ask anyone about streaming video, and they’ll all try to push you toward the future, which is Ultra High-Definition, or UHD. We’re talking about resolution, or the number of pixels pushed to a display. More is better — it means crisper, sharper pictures.

Maybe.

The problem is that there are a whole lot of variables at work. You need a display that can do a native 4K resolution. Sure, 1080p is good, but it’s not 4K. And it can’t do 4K. Then you’ll need a streaming solution that does 4K resolution. That’s pretty easy to come by. And then you have to deal with the fact that you can’t do a thing about the source feed itself — what’s being fed to your streaming provider.

And things get a even more muddied when you consider things like HDR — both the display and the box need to support the same standards, whethe…
