What you need to know
- Apple TV 4K (2021) users have been hit with a bug that shows some 4K content as only available in HD.
- Reports say the new tvOS 14.7 beta has fixed this issue.
A new report says that Apple's latest tvOS 14.7 beta has fixed an issue with 4K content being displayed incorrectly on the new Apple TV 4K (2021)
According to both 9to5Mac and AppleInsider, the new tvOS beta 2 released this week has fixed a problemw here some 4K content only showed up on the new Apple TV 4K (2021) as HD. From our previous report:
There is no indication as to what may have caused the bug or how it has been resolved. Nor does it seem to be any clearer as to whether the issue was simply a labeling problem or whether the content was not actually being played in 4K.
The new Apple TV is the best Apple TV the company has ever made, but limited improvements over the previous generation make the question of should you upgrade to the Apple TV 4K a difficult one to answer.
Our pick
Minor, but welcome improvements
There's no doubt that the Apple TV 4K (2021) can produce a better picture than the previous model; however, that will only make a difference if you have a TV that can support it. The A12 Bionic inside will make it faster, making Apple Arcade run more smoothly, and the addition of Wi-Fi 6 is nice if you have a Wi-Fi 6 router.
