History of the Apple TV (Animation)

- 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 🤩
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
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
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 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.
Love these new transitions. Keep up the amazing work!
I appreciate 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%
these animations-
?
yea these new animations are AMAZING!!
I absolutely love this new animation style I definitely want you to keep it up it was absolutely stunning 🥰💜💚
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.
You should do a history of ipod animation
Yesss
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!
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 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
60fps animation is the best!
Nice animation
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.
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.
I feel like this was more informative than the spring loaded Apple event on Apple TV … wow Greg…!
Had the first one, and I have the latest one....... still love this product
@Hideika agreed.......cheers :)
I love my Apple TV. Literally the greatest streaming device there is. Thanks for the video👍🏼
Watching apple explained brings me so much nostalgia. It’s all I watched through 2017-2020
ur so good at animation
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.
The 3rd Gen supported Dolby audio. I know I had one.
I like this style a lot
you forgot one. apple uses to have an old CRT TV in the 80s? idk the year.
These animated videos just get better and better!
been waiting for this one!!
Watching on my Apple TV 4K 2022❤
Thanks. I never really knew what the deal was with Apple TV. Now I finally understand it after all these years.
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
ITV 1955
Apple TV 2006 wow 51 years from each other
Even ITV had regional channels with good stuff back then but now ITV shows aren’t the classic ITV Shows were better
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?
Most creative Apple channel Period.
Every time I see apple explained uploaded a video, instant click
The animations not too bad ngl
Now, the Apple TV costs nearly the same as the Apple Pencil Pro…
Behold the new Apple Hair Dryer!
Wow!!! This animation is crazy good. Very well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn do I really miss the old music
Apple's ecosystem is truly amazing
2:32 I may have gotten this edition in 2016
I love that the apple tv 4k 1st gen is just an ipad pro 2nd gen but for tvs
Key takeaway here: color calibrating require tvOS 14.5 but NOT the latest AppleTV. And it works great!
Big Fan of the Animation!
Nice vid
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.
The Apple TV is an example that instead of discontinuing a product, just improve it instead.
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
ngl the current apple tv is amazing, wont go back
Me showing up 2 years later to the video, just now learning I don't need to be using this old remote anymore lol
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
I have the previous Apple TV 4K gen and I’m satisfied with it. I also don’t understand why people hate its remote so much, I like it!
Me either! I loved that Black glossy trackpad version
I've been calling Apple TV an "iPad in a box." I hope one day it gets M1 and runs an iOS version of XCode, it could essentially be Apple's gaming console.
Im still using my 3rd gen apple tv!
I am still using the white remote with my 4th generation Apple TV
2:59 very similar on Samsung smart tv
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.
By watching your video i really understood something Apple tv thx for that
my first apple tv was acutally the 2010 version! before i upgraded to the 2017 model :D
Keep up the great work greg,i appreciate your way of explanation and pointing out minor details
The animation is so slick!!
Nice animations!
Nice, I like the animation with simple figures
Beautiful design ❤❤ Apple 🍎
Still use my ATV 3rd gen, the best streaming device I've ever owned.
thanks for this, it helped me to chose which one im going to buy
I believe when they released the tactile Menu button ring, they included that for the Apple TV HD as well.
Love the smooth animations!!
How do you make this keynote?
Top notch animations, Greg! Love this style!
You can calibrate your tv with the previous apple tv4k too, i just did.
I knew it I totally knew it...
the iPod functionally still finds its way as very useful in 2020
God tier transitions
The Apple TV 3rd generation was also in December 2011
I love the new update. Glad I can just buy the remotes separately.
Loved the video. Extremely well done!
1:45 HOWOWOW! HOLD UP A SECOND! Doctor who’s on Apple TV??!!!!! 😱🤩
Hi Fellow WhoVain,Yes Apple TV Has Doctor Who! (I’m currently watching it rn lol)
Sweet! I think I’ll be looking into maybe getting one in that case :D
@@cintamaria6999 I’m pretty sure you don’t need an Apple TV to watch it unless you want to connect to a full size tv. Just saying, if you already have an iPad and don’t mind the smaller screen then it’s not worth 180$ for one show
I like the new setup of vids!
You should do more animations!!
I never miss a video
Does the new Apple TV supports spatial audio?
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.
I feel like Apple is low-key making Apple TV as a potential gaming console, with upgraded performance, tvOS and its own Apple Arcade service.
The failiure or the pippin scared them away from the console market so its unlikely that it will transition into a console
This music makes me feel like I'm building a house in The Sims
I love my Apple TV 4K with the old remote. I actually think the older remote with the touchpad looks way more clean ahaha
There was also a MacTV before that somewhere in the 90’s
The First AppleTV is actually a intel Mac, and runs FrontRow.
My favorite is the 4th
Topic idea!! Make a video what it’s like to have or get a job at Apple. From a retail store to corporate. What qualifications do you need for each? What’s the hiring process and interview like?
Awesome thank you for the Awesome video of the history of the Apple TV
I'm still using the Apple TV 3rd generation... and just ordered the new Apple TV 6th generation with A12 chip. This is gonna be wild! My 8 year old TV will be highly confused of the new chip speed :D :D
Is the 2021 Apple TV 4K remote compatible with the Apple TV 3rd generation?
If apple ever adds a live tv section (like CZcams TV) and safari, it’d be the best system out there.
Great new animation style!
Brilliant video Greg! What software do you use to animate your videos?
This Is Awesome
