I’ve seen a few posts here and there raving about the Apple TV box but it’s always occurred to me what’s so special about it?

A lot of my products are Apple and I’m starting to try and build a smart home (nothing crazy) but I have Sonos, Nest etc and I’m wondering what an Apple TV can offer me. I’ve read a few blogs but nothing seems to scream out at me.

Smart TV’s seem to have a lot of streaming apps and I gather I can AirPlay to it. One thing that I did find interesting though, I saw someone comment earlier that you can just chuck your AirPods on and it seemlessly connects (albeit very rare I’d need to actually do this, like it was suggested if the other half wanted to go to sleep I could carry on and watch tv with my AirPods).

What are the other worthwhile benefits?

    It’s just a neat all in one experience if you have other Apple shit. AirPlay, iCloud, deep integration with Apple Music and Apple TV content. It’s a great device. I’ve had Apple TVs since the beginning.

    I will say though if all you’re doing is video streaming and you happen to have a ps5, that will suit you just fine. Most of the streaming apps have been better on my ps5 than Apple TV.
