Overview:
Several people who used the new version of
Apple TV experienced that searching for 1080p next to the high definition
symbol is inconvenient but for a good quality video it is necessary to do it.
There are few television shows and Hollywood movies which are in 1080p but many
of the other television shows and movies are not available in 1080p. To improve
the quality and performance of Apple TV, Apple is consistently upgrading its
library full of content and they are also making several deals with professional
content providers. This means that soon videos in 1080p will be available in
abundance. If you are living in such a location where high speed internet is
not available then you can downgrade the video quality which stream or rent
from iTunes and continue enjoying videos on Apple TV.
Other than Apple TV’s support for 1080p
videos, there are not many new features in this new model developed and
upgraded by Apple. One can simply sum up its performance as a second generation
720p television model which has faster processor providing support to playback
of greater resolution videos. But these things are overshadowed by Apple TV
software version 5.0. Apple TV software version 5.0 is also available for 720p
model as a free update. So those who are having 720p model can update their
television set without buying a new one. It is a huge improvement done by Apple
TV and people expect Apple to continue their experiment to develop one of the
best user interface set of television. It is very difficult to create a device
which is complex and has the feature of controlling it through an infrared
click. But you cannot underestimate developers of Apple TV as they can do
anything. They have ensured that every single update of Apple TV’s interface
convey a message to the users and followers that Apple is committed to learn
lessons from its previous mistake and they are bound to develop an user
friendly television.
PROS:
The biggest advantage of Apple TV is that it
easily connects high definition television to iOS devices and to other
computers available on local network. It can also connect to iTunes present in
the cloud server. This will overcome the problem of limited resources of third
party content which is selected by developers of Apple TV.
CONS:
Most of the people found only one drawback in
the Apple TV which is lack of more sturdy community of content providers of
third party. Apple got this application store down. Apple can reconsider its
business strategies and can provide a kit for third party developer or an application
store in order to circulate high quality internet content. These things will
widen the Apple TV’s appeal and most of the people will prefer their new
version. I strongly feel that it will prove to be as one of the major
advantages of this category of video players.
Final
Verdict:
Apple TV is available at a price of ninety
nine dollars only. It can be easily afforded by anyone who wants to enjoy good
quality videos of movies or television shows on the move. The price is quite
less for a third generation Apple device and it continues to perform
excellently compared to its previous model. The highlight of this new Apple TV
model is that it supports high quality videos. It is a treat for those who are
still using the previous generation device. However, the decision of users with
second generation Apple TV to upgrade entirely depends on their preference to
high definition formats. It is noticeable though that most of the people with
second generation Apple TV preferred to upgrade their model
