What's Apple TV?

Apple TV isn't a television, but it's a media player that expands the possibilities of your television. It's a compact box that you can connect to your television with an HDMI cable. When you have set up the Apple TV, it works like a central point for all your favorite apps, movies, music, and series. Apple TV turns your old TV into a smart TV and it can make your smart TV even smarter.

With Apple TV, you have many apps, games, movies, and series at your disposal. This way, you can watch new series on Apple TV+ and stream Netflix classics. You can download useful apps like Thuisbezorgd from the App Store. So from now on, you can simply order your dinner from your couch. Install a workout app on Apple TV and work your muscles in front of the television. You collect all the streaming services in a useful folder on Apple TV. You can play games in all categories via Apple Arcade, from action games to games for the whole family.

Is your house full of smart lights or do you use a smart thermostat? Apple TV also acts as a HomeKit hub. This means that all your smart devices are connected to your Apple TV and you control them via your Apple TV on all your Apple devices. You can set the thermostat a little higher from your Apple Watch when you go home, so that it's nice and warm when you get home for example. Forgot to turn off the lights when you're already lying in bed? You can easily turn them off from your iPhone.

There are 3 ways to control your Apple TV. Apple TV responds to the remote very fast. You can use your smartphone as a remote too. That way, you can go directly to the right app on the TV via AirPlay. Or you can control Apple TV via voice commands, if you have a HomePod. Thanks to this, you can start your favorite series effortlessly.
