Apple may not sell a television set, but they do offer a set top box that transforms your television experience. It’s called Apple TV, and its story begins back in 2006 at an Apple Special Event. This is where Steve Jobs introduced the product for the first time. Back then, it was called iTV. But after a trademark dispute with a British broadcasting company of the same name, Apple TV was used instead. This first generation model was expensive at three hundred dollars, but that’s because it’s focus was on syncing iTunes content from your computer, and storing it locally. Which required more expensive components than simply streaming content, which wasn’t popular at the time. This also made the Apple TV quite large, at almost eight inches. Find out more about this history of the Apple TV in this video!

Greg, you are so talented! I don’t know how many people appreciate the detail you put in these animations but I sure do! Your work is recognized!!
Thank you so much 😀
@@AppleExplained Amazing Animations , Clean and Artistic I Enjoyed it alot XD
@Chrisitan Marcos me too
yah
@@AppleExplained no. YOUR AMAZING 🤩
i’m so glad this channel has captions, i have a hard time focusing on voices and reading makes it much easier. keep up the incredible work, greg!
Me: *Loves the old style of videos* Everyone: *Loves the new animation style of videos Me Overall: Both, Both is good!
I like the old style
I like the new style actually. It also have a much more Apple feel as well
@@conmandouglas I don't think this is a apple feel editing style apple has better animations
@@smoothiethepotato True, but still this is like the only channel with more (not all) of even a slight Apple style animation
Wow, these transitions are amazing 🤩
J
Glad you like them!
@@uncutorange2735 J-, what? Uncut Orange Juice?
I like this info graphic style. Very clean & smooth.
@@smoothiethepotato does anyone care if you don’t like it?
I love how the box’s design has remained unchanged for more than 10 years now lol
Low key the iPhone notch hasn't changed much
@@SCRPXXL and it won’t change until at least the 14 or later. Honestly, I don’t see why the notch is a big issue. Yea sometimes it can be annoying on apps that are not optimized for iPhone, but 99% of the time you don’t notice it even when using FaceID.
Don't fix it if it works
@@Dingusdoofus hahahaha.... iPhone 13 go brrrrrrr
It's already good. I missed the black remote%
I like these types of videos in which apple’s history is explained. I appreciate the hard work that goes in videos like this one .I enjoy watching videos from this channel.
I remember my boomer aunt and uncle getting the second gen, i was there when they plugged it in and they were left with this "Now what?" mentality so jumped on youtube and played a random video lol.
Love these new transitions. Keep up the amazing work!
I appreciate it!
these animations-
?
I absolutely love this new animation style I definitely want you to keep it up it was absolutely stunning 🥰💜💚
yea these new animations are AMAZING!!
Top notch animations, Greg! Love this style!
You should do a history of ipod animation
Yesss
Bruh, who ever complained that the touchpad was not accurate must be high. That was super good.
Um, no it wasn't especially compared to third party remotes that used click buttons to scrub through content. With the native remote you often times had to swipe back and forward several times just to get it to a point where you wanted it and clicking the top right and left corners didn't always work if you weren't exactly on the right spot. That remote also didn't fit comfortably in most people hands even if they were of an average size and it was way too slippery and easy to lose. Finally it was not intuitive at all. When using a remote you should not have to think about how to use it. The previous remote, like the Fire TV remote, was much easier to use and if you were laying on the couch or bed all you had to do was pick it up, point and click without having to feel around or even look at the remote to use it. There's a reason why the overwhelming majority of people just tossed it into a drawer somewhere and used a third party remote.
@@kenyattaclay7666 I don't have to think of how to use it. You can change the sensitivity of the remote, if you think it's scrolling too fast since you have are having to scroll back because you went too far.
@@FinnishArmy you can change the setting all you want it still wasn't accurate otherwise they wouldn't have made the change. Also, the click function wasn't even close to accurate because you had to try and click it in the exact right spot. Also, when you have to feel around to figure out if you have it upside down or which button your hitting, your thinking about it which is why they had to add the raised white ring in 2017. Also, the fact that the remote was way too small to fit comfortably in even an average sized hand is why they have made it longer and more squared off and not made of glass. There's a reason why they went back to a style of the oogonial remote and the Fire TV remote and it's because it's a superior remote.
Right? I loved that version, and the 3rd Generation version. Never had a problem with it. I hated the first white plastic one.
@@kenyattaclay7666they made the change for whiners who couldnt use it with their fat sausage fingers, not because it didnt work well
been waiting for this one!!
Thanks, Greg. Great, useful video. Although, it would’ve been nice to have release dates attached to the different Apple TV models. What do you think?
This was very well done. Much better than the slideshow-type “history of [insert device here]” videos (like the iMac video from yesterday) that pop up after every Apple event. Please do more of this style.
Wow!!! This animation is crazy good. Very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the smooth animations!!
Nice animation
These animated videos just get better and better!
I have the Apple TV4k and for the limited amount of time I actually use it, it's been great, as I primarily use it to access my expansive iTunes movie and Tv show library.
Got mine today. Love it!
@@johnnyboy55 yeah? Have you tried gaming on it yet?
@@TechDove Nah. Never been much of a gamer. First game I ever played was Pong. Senior year of HS 1973😁
@@johnnyboy55 ah you can play games from the app store on it though!
@@TechDove Yep. I know you can play Apple Arcade on it. But the Store only shows movies and TV shows. I don’t have any games in my library. So it might. I would just google it and see what comes up. I just checked it out and you can play them on the Apple TV
Loved the video. Extremely well done!
ur so good at animation
The 2nd gen is my favorite. I feel like if Apple were to sell a version of it with tvOS and a a9 processor, it could compete with rokus.
“Ro KuS”
Roku?
@@_bit_ I think he mean roku’s or something idk
How is it any different from the current models? It looks identical physically
@@Poever the 2nd gen had a slimmer remote, it was thinner and smaller physically and I believe it only went up to 1080p
I like the new setup of vids!
Nice animations!
Love the animations!
60fps animation is the best!
Keep up the great work greg,i appreciate your way of explanation and pointing out minor details
Nice, I like the animation with simple figures
Great new animation style!
The animation is so slick!!
You forgot to tell the fact that Steve Jobs has quite a passion with film and TV shows, and that he called Apple TV a "hobby" of his. That's why it may have never sold that well, he's still able to justify continuing working on it later, and nailing the "lean back experience" Maybe after a long day at work at Apple, after all he's still a *couch potato* too just like all of us
I remember that statement as if it were yesterday.
great vid as always! i have the latest apple tv and really cant wait for this new one to come out. they really did a great job on it! but man do i miss Front Row! i still have my remote for it haha good times
Great job on the animation 👍🏼
Love the animation
I like this style a lot
I feel like this was more informative than the spring loaded Apple event on Apple TV … wow Greg…!
So nice animations
I love my Apple TV. Literally the greatest streaming device there is. Thanks for the video👍🏼
I preordered the new Apple TV 4K on April 30th. Now I’ll be having 2 Apple TV boxes, the 2017 Apple TV 4K and the 2021 Apple TV 4K.
thanks for this, it helped me to chose which one im going to buy
Awesome thank you for the Awesome video of the history of the Apple TV
Animation Video is Amazing Wow !
Had the first one, and I have the latest one....... still love this product
@Hideika agreed.......cheers :)
I really like the animations
Behold the new Apple Hair Dryer!
This Is Awesome
I loved this
You should do more animations!!
By watching your video i really understood something Apple tv thx for that
What software that you used to edit this animation video? The video looks so awesome and with those transition, you nailed it! Very great work! 👍🏻
Great video!
Wow you explained it very well ❤️❤️
great work. Thank you 😊👍
Wow amazing video
Brilliant video Greg! What software do you use to animate your videos?
New Animation looks amazing. Keep it up 👍🏻. Before Apple TV box was bigger than Remote. Now, Apple Siri remote is bigger than Apple TV box. Lol 😂
Good vid!
Awesome
WOW SO COOL!
Good video. It would have been nice if you talked a little about Apple dropping the optical output from the unit. People who use the Apple TV to stream music to a stereo system miss that feature.
Hi could you tell me what you used to create that animation? I’ve always wondered how it was done.
The Infographics Show should hire you
Nice video 😊
I believe when they released the tactile Menu button ring, they included that for the Apple TV HD as well.
Where do you make this? This is so good 🤩
Good video
I never miss a video
God tier transitions
you forgot one. apple uses to have an old CRT TV in the 80s? idk the year.
Nice vid
this video is great I bought two 2nd gen Apple tvs for 20$ on FB and am very disappointed it didn’t have an App Store didn’t know the difference between the third and fourth generation but now I know why the fourth generation one still sells for so much at resale value
Big Fan of the Animation!
Awesome Animations, is it possible to know wich program dio you use?
Thanks. I never really knew what the deal was with Apple TV. Now I finally understand it after all these years.
Hey! I’m a big fan of the videos. Today as I was unboxing my new iPad Air I couldn’t help but look at my iPhone box, iPad box, old iPhone boxes, my MacBook boxes, and I saw all the apple stickers I had accumulated from my years of owning apple products. I decided to sticker bomb my MacBook cover with apple stickers but that still leaves one question, what’s the history of apple stickers? Video idea? Hmmmm?
Damn do I really miss the old music
Every time I see apple explained uploaded a video, instant click
Watching on my Apple TV 4K 2022❤
I love the new update. Glad I can just buy the remotes separately.
I'm so happy to be a subscriber
Most creative Apple channel Period.
2:32 I may have gotten this edition in 2016
my question is... I just bought LG OLED EVO gallery series. do i need to upgrade my old apple tv 3rd gen to newest apple tv 4k? cos i do stream youtube through my macbook pro 2013 and play lots of anime through it too without an ads. my new smart tv won't have that option of not having ads without subscribing it, right?
Me showing up 2 years later to the video, just now learning I don't need to be using this old remote anymore lol
Im still using my 3rd gen apple tv!
The animations not too bad ngl
The 3rd Gen supported Dolby audio. I know I had one.
I love my Apple TV 4K with the old remote. I actually think the older remote with the touchpad looks way more clean ahaha
Amazing video! Greg, have someone ever told you that your voice is exactly identical to Sal from Khan Academy? It's so understandable and characteristic
my first apple tv was acutally the 2010 version! before i upgraded to the 2017 model :D
I like new style. How could you make this animation. Share more information 👍🏻
Is the 2021 Apple TV 4K remote compatible with the Apple TV 3rd generation?
How do you make this keynote?
Worth noting the the fifth gen Apple TV had the A10 Fusion chip. What’s weird is I have two Apple TV HDs and they both have the white ring around the menu button. Which is off. I’m convinced I have the fourth gen.
There was also a MacTV before that somewhere in the 90’s
great
I had about 4 of them. The first Generation, which you couldn't turn off. Ever. That aluminum model ran so hot you could fry an egg on it. My next one was the second Generation, followed by the 5th Generation, and now I have the current 4K WiFi model. It's come a long way.
