● DAY 01
It’s been four years since Apple first introduced a 4K TV box. That’s so far back its own TV+ streaming service didn’t exist at the time – and nowadays TV+ is baked into many tellies’ own smart platforms.
You might think that makes this latest version of the Apple TV 4K even less of a must-buy, especially given the most exciting thing about it is the new remote control. We’re talking about an incremental upgrade in a world of affordable Roku sticks and Chromecasts… but this still promises to be one of the best all-round video streamers.
