What can Apple TV do? All features at a glance

Apple TV has been widely used for years and is also very popular in German households. The device was developed in the wake of the streaming trend. Consequently, that is exactly where the primary purpose of the hardware lies. You can already get the Apple TV in various versions, meanwhile even with 4K support.

With Apple TV, even older TVs get full access to web content.

What can Apple TV actually do?

The Apple TV is a device from the Apple company that you can easily use to make your TV Internet-enabled. You also have the ability to stream content from your mobile devices directly to the TV via AirPlay.

• Apple TV is connected to the TV via HDMI.
• Since Apple TV is WLAN-enabled, the hardware acts as an interface to play content from the Internet on the TV.
• Meanwhile, there are various models that support different resolutions, such as 4K.
• This is done with the help of apps that can be installed on Apple TV, for example, for popular services such as Netflix or Sky.
• So Apple TV does not incur monthly costs. External streaming subscriptions you pay as usual, but that has nothing to do with Apple TV itself and is up to you.
• Optional Apple also offers you with Apple TV+ the possibility to access various streaming content and exclusive apps.

The purchase of Apple TV is therefore primarily worthwhile for people whose TV is not inherently Internet-enabled. For owners of a smart TV, on the other hand, the purchase does not make sense, since these modern televisions can connect to the router independently and the corresponding apps are available.
