Apple TV 4K vs. Chromecast with Google TV

Google TV is a FARCE... Disables WiFi on its own!!

I’ve been using Chromecast since 2019 and I’ve been enjoying it so far. But I am very curious about Apple TV and would love to check it out. Also I’m an iphone user so i can’t cast anything from my iphone to the tv. Thank you for this review and I’ll go ahead and purchase one. 😊

I have the ax6 model number cax30 nighthawk and have google devices. My chromcast with remote keeps disconecting. I called Google and netgear and they both told me the have some compatible issues with netgear I logged in into guess network to see if that would help but it does not. So iam thiking about replacing chromcast ultra with apple tv or just replace the nighthawk. Having g issues conecting nest doorbell too:(

Isn't audio drops kinda a big deal? Especially every 20-40min

Apple TV can only be used if you have an iphone, Android users can never use that crap

you work for apple???? please dont make this kind of videos, just stop

pff do you see the price difference ?? 60 for the google and the stupd price of 180 for the apple tv so it has no use to compare this 2 divice

Would recommend chrome cast personally. 4K, Bluetooth,Casting. Even has Apple TV on it. Plus in Canada (if it’s not on sale) the regular price on Amazon for one chrome cast is $83 (that’s with tax). You can get 2 for the price of one compared to the Apple TV which the 2022 model on Amazon is $177. You could legit get 2 chrome casts full price and still have money left over.

Does Apple tv also recommend movies from services like disney+ and prime video?

No vpn no good, got to stream hbo max in Africaaa

179$ vs 30$… lolzzzzz wow… what a comparison…

Glad I bought the Chromecast, ngl.

So I don´t have an Iphone or any other apple stuff. But Apple TV is far better. Chromcast lags and takes forever to set up! Also you have to register with your phone. The apple TV i just plugged in and it worked.

What's held us back from an Apple Tv because we don't chain ourselves to Apple EcoSystem is the fact that you only benefit from everything else only if you already have IPhones and Ipads...etc.

Also what doesn't get mentioned on more surface level reviews like this one is performance and codecs while streaming with Media Server Apps like PLEX. Dolby Vision is not supported with Apple TV.

Google TV is the better option for price, but Apple TV has more advanced features and far better UI and picture.

At the price of the Chromecast, its an absolute non-competition. There js absolutely nothing the Apple TV offers to justify paying 4-6x as much.

Does the Apple TV+ app on Chromecast with Google TV 4K play bought/rented 4K content in actual 4K quality?

This is the only thing preventing me from buying the 4K Chromecast with Google TV right now.

30$ vs 120$

Even though I own all Apple products, not being able to side load 3rd party apps is the deal breaker for me… I don’t pay for cable, so I need my unconventional options to catch all games, fights, and movies.

Beside the design and quality feel of the Apple tv remote I do take the chromecast all day for the price difference.

for $20 im super impressed with the chromecast. Didn’t need more than 1080p as it’s going on an older TV and I’m happy to be able to use one remote for power/volume/controls. I always used chromecasts before and just casted everything but having the remote is nice.

the big difference is "GOOGLE VOICE ASSISTANT". It's just incredibly smart and useful to navigate around either the "home UI" or any other "Platform UIs"

Chromecast always has issues omg

Apple TV should be compared with Nvidia shield TV not the Google Chromecast.

Can you do a review of the Google Chromecast 4K maybe that one's better

Every stick has it's Ram and Storage limitations, Stop comparing Sticks to TV Boxes
When Google comes out with a TV Box with 3 or 4 Ram and option of 16 or 32 Storage _ Then it will be a fair Comparison

Friendly advice, the point that probably matters most is visual and audio quality. You mention there is a difference between the devices, but then don’t explain what it is, or why; instead you categorize under “performance,” which you then describe as UI/UX interface usage. It’s the only reason I watched this video, and you never talked about it in detail—annoying.

Everything you mentioned works on chromecast and android + casting from iPhone. I don't spacial audio, but I bet you can have dolby atmos and 360 sound like on your Sony headphones

About that lag, how were you connected to the internet, Wi-Fi or through a Ethernet cable?

Any product of apple is only for people who use apple products solely. It is irrelevant for non apple users

can u screen mirror using iphone to apple tv?

Both of them are 4k and support dolby vision and picture quality depends on your TV not the Chromecast or apple tv

Apple TV has 4GB of Ram...and Chromecast has only 2GB of Ram so that's the difference in speed lag...So unless Google makes a device that has a 4GB RAM it's always gonna be behind Apple TV.

I think you only briefly touched on the most compelling use case assessment, that being whether the majority of your hardware is Apple based or Google based. My household has no Apple hardware in it. As such, Apple TV is far less compelling for me personally. Additionally, as someone who's way more into home automation, other platforms offer far more integration opportunities than Apple TV does. Finally, regarding the picture quality advantage with Apple TV, lots of people are still running 1080p or early 4k TV's which will dramatically impact the quality of the picture they can display. Now an Apple TV on a brand new 75" LG C2 OLED, absolutely. But on an old Samsung 1080p TV, the use case will likely lean more to adding smart capabilities to an older TV, not so much leaning to trying to improve picture quality.

Both of these units have their place in the market, and both move customers into the 21st century of streaming. But I think its almost totally the use case that drives the decision on which to buy, not so much the extended capabilities of each unit.

No doubt apple even have to pay few more buck

Look like Apple employee here...

Is AirPods Pro 2nd gen compatible with chromecast 3rd and latest gen?

I have both and all content just looks better om apple tv. Try opening Disney+ on both. Google TV has weird banding on the blue background where as Apple tv is silky smooth. Audio is also way better on Apple tv.

I have both, and Chromecast ALWAYS freezes... You have to close the app to make it work... MAYBE... The apple tv is way better!

Chromecast is way better, I have an Airplay supported TV and it is a hassle to change language on some apps, while Google Cast does it as simple as if I watch it only on my phone or Tablet

Nice review... However if you are not part of the Apple ecosystem (Android users like myself) then I see no need to ever by the Apple TV option. I personally have and love the Roku solution.

Chromecast Tv is better than Apple Tv and I been Chromecast when it first came out I remember streaming it through my phone now I bought Chromecast Tv at Walmart other day its best

You are clearly an Apple user this isn't even a comparison You're only talking about Apple TV You're not helping me make a decision at all

What about the 4k chromecast? its not laggy
