I’ve been writing a lot about the Apple ecosystem lately, and the new Apple TV 4K (2022) is the icing on the cake.
It’s unnecessary, but if you want the creme de la creme of the smart TV experience, it’s difficult to beat it. The software is well-designed, and ad-free, while the hardware is top-notch, with a remote that feels incredible.
If you have an Android phone, there are a few more streaming options, but if you’re an iPhone user, it’s hard not to want the Apple TV 4K.
Finding TV bliss?
The best part of using the new Apple TV 4K is how nicely it plays with your iPhone. Since iOS 16.1, the on-phone virtual remote has gotten exponentially better now that you can play/pause, scrub through content, and control volume playback right from the lock screen. This means you no longer need to unlock your phone and dive into an app or menu. Just pick up your iPhone, and boom, the media controls you want are instantly accessible. Sure, people are really into the new Apple TV remote, but this is better, and I find myself using my phone more than the remote now.
This new functionality is enabled through Apple’s ‘Live Activities’ framework. Because of this, Roku and other streaming devices with an iPhone app can likely take advantage of similar lock screen-based controls via an update.
The other perk built into the Apple TV 4K is that you get access to Apple Arcade and a fully functional Apple Fitness+ app. You can cast Fitness+ classes to any AirPlay-compatible TV, but having a browseable app on your television is nice. Apple Arcade is fun as well, and while there aren’t that many games that have drawn me in, I love being able to cloud save a title on my phone and play it later on my TV or iPad.
If you have AirPods, the ease of connecting them to your Apple TV to listen to content silently is also a useful feature.
The new Apple TV is smaller and doesn’t feature a fan.
Compared to other smart TV operating systems, one of the key upgrades is that the Apple TV menu actually looks good. It’s not great, but it’s clean, high-res and easy to navigate. Google and Amazon’s home screens push content to watch, often regardless of whether you’re subscribed to the service hosting that content. Roku is a little better, but it still looks outdated and usually has one giant ad on the right-hand side, which is tacky, to say the least.
Once you jump inside the Apple TV app, things get a little messier regarding content you don’t subscribe to, but at the very least, the home screen is clean.
The new Apple TV 4K (2022) also packs the Apple A15 Bionic chipset, which gives it more than enough power to play modern content for the foreseeable future. This might sound like a small thing, but over time lag on a cheap smart TV box can get annoying, so knowing that you can not only play games but likely won’t have to worry about audio/video sync issues or lag, is a nice piece of mind.
A great remote can never be perfect
The remote feels excellent, but the button with a TV on it makes little sense. When you click the TV/Home button, it jumps you into the Apple TV app. If you hold it, you go back to the home screen. This isn’t very great, but thankfully you can switch it off in settings, so it acts predictably as a home button. That said, the fact that you need to go into the settings and enable this is a pain, and I wish Apple would not try so hard to force people into the Apple TV app.
On the flip side, it’s nice Apple updated the Menu button to become a Back button last year, but hiding the Siri button on the side of the remote feels strange to me. The old Siri remote and most other smart TVs have their voice control button on the front, and I found that to be easier to work with. Something is satisfying about holding down the button on the front, which makes it feel like engaging a microphone.
I’m likely one of the few, but I also enjoyed the swipe-based navigation on the older Siri remote. It had a steep learning curve, but when I used it as my primary device, I could fly around the interface, and the software momentum that Apple built into tvOS felt natural and looked superb. The new D-pad/touch wheel/touchpad design works fine, but the compromise on the new remote makes the swiping worse than before, and moving with the D-pad still applies some software momentum, which feels out of place when you’re not swiping.
None of this is to say it’s a bad remote. By contrast, the matte aluminum body feels incredible in your hand. It has excellent balance, clicky buttons and even a USB-C port for charging. You can also use it as a universal remote with most TVs. Compared to the gross Chromecast buttons and the dull Fire TV remote, it’s head and shoulders above the rest, but it seems that to streamline things, Apple might have made it a bit more complicated than needed.
For Apple lovers only?
If you have an iPhone, then having an Apple TV attached to your main TV is a nice add-on. However, I think most people likely only need one in their house, and a cheap Roku or Fire TV stick with AirPlay support can probably service most other TVs in a household.
I’m really enjoying this set-top box for things like Apple Fitness+ and Apple Arcade, so I can play Lego Star Wars Castaways on my TV while at home. This speaks to me since I’m already fairly immersed in the Apple ecosystem. If you’re not, a lot of the perks I enjoyed might not apply to you as much.
That said, even if you’re not in the ecosystem, it’s hard to ignore the thoughtful menu design, fast processor and solid remote. Remember that only the more expensive model with an ethernet jack is a Thread border router. If that matters to you, you’ll need to buy the more expensive model at $199.
All of this is to say that the new Apple TV is great, but unless you care about design or the Apple ecosystem, it’s not going to play content significantly better than the competition.

Apple has officially confirmed that it’s increased the cost of several of its services, including Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Apple One.
Each price increase is relatively substantial, with the base-level Apple Music subscription going up by $1, Apple TV+ jumping by $3 and Apple One increasing by $3. Other than increasing the cost of its Apple Music ‘Student’ plan by $1 back in June, 2022, this is the first time the tech giant has increased the cost of these services in Canada.
Below is a full price breakdown of all of the increases in Canada:
While these price increases are likely tied to inflation, Apple TV+’s price jump is the least surprising given the amount of content the platform currently offers compared to its launch in Canada back in 2019. While AppleTV+ launched with a disappointing line-up or originals, content like Severance, Ted Lasso, See, For All Man Kind and more round out the platform’s offerings.
Apple One’s $18.95 base-level subscription includes Apple Music, Apple TV+ Apple Arcade and iCloud (50GB), its $24.95 Family plan features all of the same platforms but with 200GB of iCloud storage. Finally, ‘Premiere,’ includes everything in the other Apple Once tiers, alongside News+, Fitness+ and 2TB of iCloud storage.
Regions these services are available in outside of Canada are also getting similar price hikes. Current subscribers will receive notifications of the price increase before the service renews at the higher cost.
All of the price increases are currently live on Apple’s website.

What are you planning on watching this week? Let us know in the comments.
At its annual Surface event, Microsoft announced that Windows users will soon be able to download two native Apple TV and Apple Music applications on their Windows machines.
Until now, Windows users have had to use either the Apple TV web application to watch their favourite TV shows and movies, or the web app or iTunes app to access their music.
According to Microsoft, users will be able to download the two native apps directly from the Microsoft Store sometime in 2023, with Beta releases for both apps launching soon. Additionally, Apple Music is now available for Xbox users to access.
Further, an upcoming Windows 11 update will integrate iCloud photos directly into your Windows machine’s Photos app, allowing users to browse through their iPhone photos and videos directly on their Windows PC. Users on PC would need to download the iCloud app and log in with their credentials to sync the images and videos.
