This is an Apple TV 3rd generation model A1469 released in 2013. This is the second generation of the third generation Apple TV. Yes, that's actually true. There's a 2012 model that's also called a third generation with a different model number. Don't get the two confused!
This Apple TV is useful for AirPlaying and usable for watching shows, using the few apps that still work...It's really slow and not the best experience. It doesn't have an app store, so downloading apps to make it more useful is not a thing! I've come to the conclusion that my old MacBook is a better apple TV than this Apple TV...
For the eagle eyed among you, yes that is real living grass growing inside a little container in the thumbnail.

Thanks for watching and subscribing in 2024! CZcams search seems to like this video so it's giving it a lot of views :D
I'm not going to update the title to say "useless in 2024" since I didn't make this video in 2024... Channels that do that really suck don't they.
It’s kinda funny how you can make a video about a useless and obsolete product so entertaining, and I know I’ve said it many times, but your channel is so good!
…And I don’t even regret spending about an hour binging about ten of your videos.
Thanks for commenting on all of them :D
I'm glad you like the videos :D
I didn’t know there was a product to separate the HDMI audio. I instead got a USB DAC that uses the optical out (for my Xbox 360, not this product)
After watching your video I pulled out my ancient Roku HD from 2010. I was surprised. While a few channels didn’t work, and it was very slow, overall the Roku was still very usable! It even has CZcams!
It seems weird that your Apple TV doesn’t run CZcams, as my 4th Gen Touch can (but only through the browser).
apple themselves removed the app I in 2021 I think, kinda sad.
Just got a gen 2 and 3 for free both running fine, gen 2 was reset to factory for its apps, gen 2 is still on ios 6 (newest) and it has its apps all erased aside from app support its actually a great apple streamer if you have a bunch of purchases on your account like me i had a few shows and music. Id never pay for apple tv plus. Airplay is great as long as you have another phone to do it with aside from your daily driver
The performance of my gen 3 apple tv is nowhere near the two 4ks I have but for two free internet only steaming devices as long as your fine paying apple these are a steal, I'm gonna attempt to buy series in bulk. A bit 2016 vibes but I love it.
Thank you for sharing. It saved me money to listen to it. I was about to buy a A1427 but your info about old apps made me skip it. I need to watch Netflix on an old samsung tv from 2013. I had it working until Netflix just a couple of days ago decided to block it because it is too old. It makes me wonder if a 2012 apple tv also will not work.
Keep it up. I like your humor. 😁
Thanks so much for the kind words! I didn't test netflix on the Apple TV since I don't have a netflix account.
you seem very human. i really want an aple tv
excellent editing 👍
I have an apple tv 3rd gen... and... yep, not very useful
Can you use this as an airplay(audio only) receiver with no display connected?
I believe so yeah I don't see why not. but you'd need something that extracts the audio out of hdmi or else optical audio
YES FINALLY
I factory reset and updated my 3rd gen Apple TV and now it won’t show up as in my AirPlay list. Any thoughts?
Activation error?
I only got the apple tv to play Castlevania GOS on the apple arcade. it's the only real way to play this game for me, I don't want an iPhone hate apple myself android is so much better with freedom to do what I like, rather have my phone be like a pocket pc than a worthless iPhone. and might jailbreak the apple tv to make it play old video game after all didn't waste money on one with more than 8gb. seems to be a waste to not run a few emulators on it after I got it and a controller. got two for 25 bucks. want to setup one for a friend for a cheap retro game emulator being he isn't a pc guy. and I use my NVidia Shield for most streaming and emulation. GOS is my main goal.
I might jail break them into servers who knows maybe minecraft can run on the dual core a8!
how? that sounds interesting
