lonus Tech tips and a big awesome

00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:21.080
dislike button go ahead and hit it for the Apple TV Generation 3 so this is the

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:26.720
first Apple unboxing I've done in quite a while and I am pretty excited to check

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:32.160
this out because it supports great Apple features like airPlay from my iPhone

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:39.079
and my iPad onto my Apple uh HD TV no actually

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:43.000
they don't have a TV that never really materialized I was sort of disappointed

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.520
about that more from a curiosity standpoint than anything else so the Gen

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.960
3 player is the main advantage is airPlay so it does have wireless end

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:57.000
which allows you to uh mirror the display on your other device whether

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:58.760
it's a Gen 2 or up iPad or an iPhone 4

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.039
or up which happens to be exactly the iPhone 4 and the iPad that I have and

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:07.600
that is what I need it for because I need to do a demo using it and mirroring

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:12.680
from an iOS device so that's why I bought it I'm aware there's no jailbreak

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:17.240
I'm aware that you can't run a bunch of different apps on it because Apple's

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:21.759
really locked down what you can run on this device uh through the App Store and

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:26.479
the jailbreak keeps being promised but hasn't really materialized and all that

00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:31.560
uh good stuff so what has it got it's got a single core A5 processor it

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:37.399
supports 10 1080p unlike the previous generation uh Apple TV it has support

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:43.600
for Netflix YouTube Vimeo Hulu actually just got an update with Apple's 6 point

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.439
something. 3 uh iOS update so that's

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:52.079
that's pretty cool supports Wireless N or100 Ethernet and it was

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:59.280
$109.99 which makes it more expensive than something like a pivos zos which is

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:00.799
in a similar um size sort of form factor

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:06.520
and does offer quite a lot of functionality using XBMC as well as uh

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:11.440
as Android for for the OS so you can actually use XBMC on top of Android on

00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.160
that device or you can use XBMC running natively on that device and this is

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:19.280
actually supposed to be an Apple TV unboxing not a pivos zos unboxing so I'm

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:25.640
not going to talk about it too much more but you should check it out if you haven't already I know the guy who runs

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.959
pivos actually really good guy so anyway

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:32.120
here's Apple's remote which is much less functional than the uh than the optional

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:36.000
air mouse remote that's available with the zos here I'm talking about it again

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.519
which has like an onscreen pointer that you can kind of go like this so this is

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:42.920
just your basic right left up down menu

00:02:40.519 --> 00:02:47.680
uh play and pause it's got a metal finish to it which is nicer than the zos

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.800
one it's actually feels like really good but the disadvantage of something like

00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:56.440
this is it could easily get lost in a couch cushion or uh you know in a

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.920
blanket or in like a butt crack or anything it could actually easily fit in

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:05.680
any of those things so um you know cleavage so we're going to go ahead and

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:09.440
take off the protective cover Apple knows that this device is way too glossy

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:13.159
and is bound to get scratched so they go ahead and cover that up for you it's uh

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:17.920
constructions very nice I mean I'll do my trademark iPhone size comparison here

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:22.360
guys not going to be doing that for long going to be switching to the HTC1 really

00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:25.319
really soon for my smartphone I'm already carrying it around and

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:29.920
installing some apps on it so I'm almost ready to go uh the bottom has a non-slip

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.239
rubber no it's not really non-slip at all is it that's a shame okay well the

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:36.599
bottom has an Apple logo which makes it higher performance and the top has an

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:41.439
Apple logo which actually gives it double the performance of other media

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:46.280
players enabling it to run 1080p which is basically Space Age Technology over

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:52.360
HDMI so at the back we've got just a simple power in HDMI micro USB which you

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:56.079
can use to sync to your Mac or your other computer or whatever else an

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:59.959
optical audio out which I actually do like to see you know what this is

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.079
probably like the number one thing that I was really surprised about on this cuz

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:08.239
there's some media players that only support HDMI out which is great if you

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:11.560
have a receiver that supports uh audio over HDMI but if you have an older

00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:15.760
receiver it might still be expensive it might still be a great receiver with

00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:19.199
great amp and all that kind of stuff and it doesn't support audio over HDMI then

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:22.400
you're pretty much boned so it's nice to have that Optical uh there's your 1000

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.759
Ethernet and I think that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Apple TV

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.120
gen 3 don't forget to subscribe C's Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and

other computer videos and of of course I hope you noticed in this video that

00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:36.039
we're really stepping up the professionalism here in terms of our

00:04:34.440 --> 00:04:40.440
dress for our unboxings as well as references to butt

00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:46.080
