Christian SeligRandom, but the YouTube app on my Apple TV started dropping down to 480p if you try to change the playback speed on any 60 fps video. Anyone else seeing this? Do I need a newer Apple TV?
Shawn Platkus@christianselig Irrespective of your issue, if you do not have the latest Apple TV, then the answer is yes, you need a newer Apple TV! 😂
@platkus What does the newer one do differently?
@christianselig Well, I was making a joke, but since you responded with a fair question, here’s my experience.
I always buy the latest Apple TV and then cycle the ones I have down to the lesser TVs in the house. So I always have a variety of models in use.
The reason I always buy the newest one is for one simple reason. Speed. Navigating the UI and opening apps is much faster on the latest model.
Also, there are features that the older ones don’t get such as FaceTime support and karaoke mode etc

@platkus Huh, are you sure? I’ve FaceTimed on mine and it’s not the newest
@christianselig At one time, yours was the newest and the 4K Apple TV prior to it cannot FaceTime.
I was just giving an example of features that newer Apple TVs get that older ones sometimes do not. I believe the latest two versions of Apple TVs can do FaceTime.
@christianselig But I wouldn't buy an Apple TV right now. I'm expecting a new model this year.
