Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote – Apple Support". support.apple.com. Archived from the original on June 15, 2016 . Retrieved August 13, 2016. Apple TV with and without tvOS supports closed captioning, so the deaf or hard of hearing can properly watch TV episodes and feature-length movies. Compatible episodes and movies are denoted with a CC (closed captioning) or SDH (Descriptive Audio) icon in the iTunes Store either on the Apple TV or in iTunes itself. The viewer can customize the captions in episodes or movies with styles and fonts that are more conducive to their hearing and/or visual impairment. [68] Apple's Remote app on iOS devices allows control of the Apple TV from an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. [69] Restrictions [ edit ] Apple TV can also function as a peer-to-peer digital media player, streaming content from iTunes libraries and playing the content over the network. [81] [82] First-generation Apple TVs can stream content from up to five computers or iTunes libraries. Also, five Apple TVs can be linked to the same iTunes library. The second-generation Apple TV onwards allows users to stream content from more than one iTunes library: these additional iTunes libraries can be on the same or on different computers. This is possible when Apple TV and every iTunes library from which you want to stream content meet all of the following conditions: (1) the Apple TV and the iTunes library you are streaming from are both on the same local network, (2) each uses the iTunes "Home Sharing" feature, and (3) each are using the same "Home Sharing" Apple ID. Apple TV HD and newer can also stream content locally using third-party apps such as Plex, Kodi, VLC media player, Emby and MrMC. HEVC H.265 SDR up to 2160p at 60 frames per second (5th and 6th generation) or 1080p at 30 frames per second (4th generation)I really liked the small square old Apple TV and so, evidently, did Apple, with the company keeping the same rough design as before. The new model has the same footprint (98mm square), but the new hardware inside means that the box is now a little taller at 35mm vs 23mm. It’s not so much bigger that you’ll struggle to put it anywhere and I’ve found that the box will sit neatly underneath a TV without getting in the way. It’s brilliantly made, with a reassuringly heavy feel to it that gives the Apple TV a feeling of ruggedness. The current Apple TV 4K was released in November 2022 with the A15 Bionic chip, a larger 128GB storage option, a slightly thinner and lighter design, HDR10+ support, a Siri Remote with a USB-C port, lower pricing, and other minor changes.

Apple said the A15 Bionic chip's increased power efficiency allowed for the fan to be removed in the current Apple TV, resulting in the device having a more compact design that is around 12% thinner and around 50% lighter than the previous model.Video outputs: HDMI 1.4, Networking: Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet, Dimensions: 98x98x35mm, Streaming formats: AirPlay, others via apps, Internet streaming services: iTunes, Apple Music, Netflix, Now TV.
