At Apple’s March Special Event, Tim Cook and Co. announced a bevy of new subscription services, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade chief among them. And while this isn’t Apple’s first foray into the world of digital subscriptions, these two new services go a long way to making some of Apple’s older devices – like the Apple TV 4K – more appealing.
Now, in some ways, the Apple TV was already worth getting, especially if you’re already engrossed in the Apple ecosystem and own a 4K HDR TV, but the lack of a dedicated service made it a niche device.
That said, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade feel like they complete the package, making the Apple TV 4K a much more compelling buy when these services go up later this year.
The big question, then, is whether or not these new services make the Apple TV 4K more worthy of your time and money. And, well, it still depends. The Apple TV platform is definitely evolving, but we have a hunch that Apple will launch new Apple TV hardware it’s iPhone 11 launch event?
It might be worth waiting until a new Apple TV hits the market it has been nearly two years since the Apple TV 4K hit the streets. However, we’re not sure how much it could improve, especially if you just want to watch content in 4K.
But, what we do know is that all of this new content, and these new subscription services, all breathe new life into a device.
There’s something to be said about a device that can do it all, and it looks like the Apple TV 4K will fit the bill.
