The Siri remote also has buttons for Power, TV/Home, Back, Play/Pause, Mute and Volume, while the Siri button rests on the side.

The new Siri remote sells separately for $59 - and is thankfully compatible with the Apple TV 4K (2017) and Apple TV HD. It feels better in hand and is much more comfortable to use, and charges via a Lightning cable. The new one is larger, thicker, heavier and made of aluminum. Count me among the many haters of the old remote. OK, here we go: The best part of the Apple TV 4K 2nd-gen is, without a doubt, the new Siri remote. For instance, I’ve been rewatching Lost on Hulu and I thought Siri would be smart enough to realize that, but the first result took me to IMDBtv on Amazon Prime Video. Still, while Siri worked quickly, it didn’t always give me what I wanted. Then, I said, “Play Lost,” and it delivered me various results, again within about a second or two. I asked Siri to open HBO Max and it did in about a second. Siri search and functionality also seem to work a little faster.

The app took about 10 seconds to download and it too did a great job smoothly streaming the race, as it also supports 60 fps playback.

For what it’s worth, I also fired up the Roku Streaming Stick Plus for comparison. I could see a real difference the video played more smoothly and crisply on the Apple TV 4K 2021. So, I downloaded the app on both my old box and the new one (by the way, on the former it downloaded in about three seconds and the latter, in about a second), and watched the Red Bull Soapbox Race. One partner that Apple has touted is Red Bull TV. But, at the moment, there isn’t a lot of content out there that you can stream at 60fps.

The biggest performance upgrade is that the new Apple TV 4K now supports streaming high-frame-rate HDR at 60fps along with Dolby Vision 4K and Dolby Atmos audio. Siri search also seemed to deliver results a little faster. Based on my non-scientific count, apps took around four to six seconds to open on the old box on the Apple TV 4K 2nd-gen, it’s two to three seconds. Now, apps open a bit more quickly than they did on the first-gen box. The old Apple TV 4K was already snappier than the Roku Streaming Stick Plus and Fire TV Stick 4K. The new Apple TV 4K runs on an A12 Bionic chip, which enables fast and smooth performance. On the back are the power port, upgraded HDMI port (version 2.1) and Ethernet port. On the front is a tiny LED light that indicates the box is on. The dimensions of the sleek black box are similar and it weighs 15 ounces. The Apple TV 4K 2nd-gen looks the same as the old one. What you’re really paying for is an Apple device that works seamlessly with other Apple products (like the iPhone and Apple Watch) to create a happy Apple atmosphere, as well as the Apple’s TVs selection of apps and games. So, essentially, the Apple TV 4K 2021 offers similar features to these competitors at over three times the cost. All three of those devices come with decent remotes, too. The same goes for the Fire TV Stick 4K and Chromecast With Google TV, which are the same price. It’s also capable of displaying HDR content at 60fps. Our top pick among the best streaming devices, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus (we've since recommended the newer Roku Streaming Stick 4K), retails at just $49.99 (though you can often find it with a discount). The Apple TV 4K (2021) is, by far, the most expensive 4K streaming device on the market.
The new 3rd-gen model starts at $129 for a 64GB model, and $149 for the 128GB model with Ethernet. It was released May 21 and is available for purchase at the Apple Store or major retailers.
The Apple TV 4K 2nd-gen costs $179 for the 32GB model and $199 for the 64GB. Apple TV 4K (2021) review: Price and release date
