Like other video equipment, the appearance of the latest Apple TV TV box has added new power to video entertainment systems. It can bring Siri voice assistant to your living room, let you play various video games on the TV, use the remote control to choose to watch all kinds of videos.
Different from previous generations of products, the new Apple TV TV box has 32G version and 64G version can choose two kinds of configurations, what exactly should we choose? Here are a few things to consider when shopping for Apple TV:
Cloud Media Storage Technology
For this kind of video, no matter if the 32G or 64G version is selected, it will not affect much. I have stored a lot of music on the Spotify platform. Over the years, I have occupied more than 100G of space, but due to the adoption of cloud storage technology, even the most fanatical apple digital Media users can hardly fill 64G storage space.
For entry-level users, Apple TV is obviously a streaming media device. It supports a large number of streaming media formats, such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, and some personal website content, all of which can be ordered through Apple TV.
Each download of the corresponding playback software will take up some storage space, such as HBO Go takes up about 30.8MB, Netflix takes up 15.9MB, and Discovery Go takes up 7.7MB. However, even if you download dozens of such streaming media playback software, there will still be a lot of remaining storage space.
If you insist on using Apple's own video or music player software to play your own subscription content, it will not take up a lot of storage space, because music, movies and TV programs are all streaming media, do not need to take up local storage space.
However, if you subscribe to a movie rental service, Apple TV will completely download the streaming or podcast content of a certain subscription, but even so, once the lease expires, or if a podcast content ordered is played, the media file will been deleted.
Closed management of storage space
Another reason why it is difficult to fill the new Apple TV's storage space is that it is managed by the operating system to manage the storage space. All resources are managed through the built-in App Thinning program. In fact, Apple TV does not display any storage space usage information, so you never know how much free space your device has.
The App Thinning program ensures that when the user downloads the App software, only the necessary resources for the Apple TV are downloaded (this means that the iPhone or iPad resources for the App software will not be downloaded), and the downloaded data will also occupy storage space. The initial application will be used. The program download size is controlled within 200M. After the initial download, the application can download 2GB extra resources. For the game, when you complete the progress of some games, the content of the previously passed levels will be deleted from the device and automatically replaced with new levels to achieve seamless connection.
In short, a game's capacity may be as high as 20G, but in actual use, it only takes up a few G of space, which means that you can load multiple games on Apple TV without running out of storage space. The problem.
Program and game selection
At present, the programs and games provided by Apple TV are still very comprehensive. There are thousands of programs that can be downloaded at any time. However, compared with Apple's app store, the number of programs is much worse. According to statistics released in January of this year, there are 3,600 applications currently available on Apple TV, and the number of applications in the iOS system application store has reached 1.5 million.
With App Thinning software, limited applications (especially fewer games) are more difficult to fill Apple TV storage space. However, Apple will continue to add new applications. As more and more games and App applications appear, we also have to carefully select the software installed on Apple TV.
Prospects
Like the iPhone and iPad, users will not be able to expand Apple TV storage space in the future. Therefore, if you can't determine the future personal use or you plan to install a large number of games and applications, the most sensible approach is to choose to purchase a larger-capacity Apple TV so that it will not be stretched during the later use.
That said, if you only intend to use Apple TV for streaming content in Netflix or the iTunes library, choosing a low-capacity model is also a good option. If you don't play a lot of games or install a lot of apps and you don't plan to use Siri on your TV, you might consider buying a third-generation Apple TV, which currently costs just $69 (about 447 yuan). It can save a lot of money.
