In honor of Chromecast, iMore is giving away Apple TVs!

Im to late darn

I need to stream my movie collection from iTunes.... and the Apple TV is perfect for that. The Apple TV is the perfect device also for Netflix, Hulu, etc... with more content being delivered. I want a device I can trust just like I can trust my iPhones, iPads, MacPros, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini... and the Apple TV is that device. Even though the contest has ended, its still worth posting about this device.

I do like them both , but chrome cast has literally just came out and it only has two options of watching Netflix's and YouTube. Compared to Apple TV it has more to offer. Apple TV allows you to listen to music , listen to the new apple radio , play games, and allow you to even look at any app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. It has always came down to how many options are there available. But the price for the chrome cast is very reasonable and not for the Apple TV. Also the Chrome cast has connection problems and that needs to be worked on .

Because winter is coming and I want to stream Game of Thrones to my TV! No, seriously I would use it to show my 3 year old magic tricks with wireless technology magic!

because its apple!!!

I love the beauty and precision of apple devices. I wished I could have all of them. there products are of the highest quality. I choose Apple TV because of that reason.

AppleTV streams more content. The best echosystem hands down.

Why? WHY NOT? Apple rocks my boat baby! I would have an Apple in every room if I could!

I'd prefer Apple TV over the two Because it communicates directly with your device, and can stream from it or a local media library.

I don't have the sufficant funds to purcase one. I'd love one to share and promote and test it. I'd be great so I can project to my TV. I'd also promote you, iMore because of it if I get one.

It's QUALITY , it's really amazing , and I would add it to my collection of i-device .

I gather I didn't win. :-( Oh well.

2 iPhones, 2 iPads, a 27" iMac and several other laptops. Nuff said I would think!

I need to replace the first 40GB Apple TV that I have in the bedroom so I can watch Netflix and AirPlay from my iPhone to the TV and you really can't do everything the Apple TV does with chromecast.

I rather have an apple tv instead of chromecast because you're willing to give 3 away for free. Thanks.

I started with iPod nanos now I'm more into apple products. I like the iPad for its very convenient home button. This Apple TV would be a nice addition.

Apple products haven't failed me yet, and I love how the menus look on the apple tv.

iTunes integration makes appletv superior to chrome cast

Apple products are superior to the Google clones

I am converting my home into appleland slowly. Even though I could get the Chromecast now, I am waiting to save enough Apple dollars to purchase an AppleTV. Apple in more stable in my opinion and will probably last longer than Chrome.

I'd rather have Apple TV instead of Chromecast because I've been impressed with the iOS devices that I've used over the last several years. They are all well built, reliable, and intuitive to use.

I have wanted for a long time but have not been able to for now . I have a iPad mini and iPhone 5 and this would be a great addition! Pick me please!

I think I should win an Apple Tv because i am a huge apple fan! I used to hate Apple and love Google! In April i decided to try something different and bought an iPhone.. I now hate Google and love Apple!! I have tried a friends Apple TV and i love it! It is way better then a Google Chromecast because you can have airplay, Mirroring, your photo stream, iCloud, music, Netflix, rent movies from iTunes, Watch live sports, theres a small handy Remote or control from your Idevice with the Remote app, built out of great material, its all HD (1080p) and last but not least it is of course an Apple device which is always better than anything! :)

Plus I want an Apple TV for myself! :) And I really want to win!!!!

Thanks ( Hope i get chosen)

apple tv allows " mirroring "
i can use dlna to watch my media otherwise

Easy - set up, user friendly, connectivity
Looks - good, great design, small footprint
Just works - AirPlay, mirroring, sharing, photo stream
Who would have imagined that you would take a pic with your phone while out in the city for the day and then by the time you get home, they are automatically showing on your TV?!

All my content is thru Apple!

Chromecast is just glorified Airplay. Apple TV integrates so well into the Apple ecosystem. I would love one!

Becase the Apple TV does twice what chormecast does, and who wants a USB stick? Apple TV looks way cooler!

Would appreciate having Apple TV. To evaluate airplay and its streaming options.

It's all about built quality and customer service. Apple all the way.

Everything I own is apple they just make better more reliable products that gives the most enjoyable experience

Because Apple Rules, Google Drools!!! Plus the Chromecast is not going to last.. Like the other Google products it is over-hyped and won't get any traction. BTW Thanks Renee for having Apple's back on Macbreak Weekly... You seem to be the only one that makes any sense on that show... Thanks for the Apple TV!

Main advantages of the Apple TV for me are (jailbroken) access to my local media library, and integration into the full Apple ecosystem with the store, iCloud Photostreams etc.
Although the continued absence of iTunes extras is a source of bafflement.

Sent from the iMore App

The ATV has a much wider selection of apps available. Plus we don't know yet if the developers will sign on.

It doesn't come with a remote. You have to use one of your smart devices. This is clunky - especially if I want to stream an app that isn't on my phone or tablet. Then the only way to control the chromacast is using my computer.

So all the way around, the Chromacast is new and still rough around the edges compared to the ATV. Plus, my kids have really taken to the ATV environment. I'd like to add an ATV to my kids' TV so they can watch their own Netflix movies while I get my TV back to watch my shows!

I'd love to be the "chosen one". <--- See what I did there? Anyways I would love a shiny new AppleTV! Thanks for the giveaway!

Because AppleTV is more refined and elegant and has many more features especially Airplay. Plus, it's Apple and fits in perfectly with all of my other equipment.

I love Apple products. I can play music on all devices using iTunes Match. Apple TV would allow a person to stream to their television as well as use the airplay function to stream from an iPhone or iPad. More good things for the Apple TV are on the way in the Fall as well.

I dont have to do any add ons or hard setups, I can stream almost everything from my iphone or ipad

It's made by Apple, enough said.

I'm interested in Apple Tv than chrome cast.
Pros:
1. Large amount of contents/Apps.
2. More durable
3. Already lot people tested and certified.
4. More processor power
5. Comfortness in playing the content using airplay without browser hangs.
6. Apple TV contents are more secure than chromecast

Cons
1. Affordability - More Price which i cannot afford

I would love an Apple TV first and foremost because I'm a completely sold apple fan, already bought, mixed and drank the kool aid. Secondly I've been wanting it because I have a ton of music, movies and subscriptions that would be SOOOO much more simple if they were all together and actually on my TV, not to mention how it would definitely significant increase my movie rental useage through iTunes. So go fly a kite Chromecast, I want an Apple TV.

I would love an Apple TV because I've built an office in my garage to run my non profit out of and have ran waaaay out of money before I could finish :-( I love Apple and I love imore ! Please help me out here. Pretty please?

I want a lot of content that is varied and vast
Not selected like that found on a Google Chromecast
I want power, performance, and a great experience for free
So please be so kind as to send me an Apple TV

1 word........APPLE

I trust Apple because they're only after my money.

Best user experience in a Mac shop!

I will actually use an AppleTV instead of having the Chromecast dongle dangle from my tv.

Because I use screen mirroring all the time and Chromecast doesn't support it.

I wonder how many android users lied just to get an airplay

I would rather have the Apple than Google because my son is an Apple junkie and he will know what to do with it.

Apple TV provides seamless "iLife" integration with my other Apple products. Chromecast would most likely be a nightmare to integrate with my Apple products. I would love to be able to have my iCloud photostream instantly available to view through an Apple TV connect to my television.

because its quality rather than quantity that matters.

That symbol so wee. PLAYS ANYTHING FOR THEE,
With rock solid support and trustworthy you see!
From the iPhone to the Touch and the iPad, proves this IS no fad,
So, Apple TV for me and glad I would be!

It's made by Apple, of course!

Because streaming music directly to my tv is awesome

I want to win an AppleTV.
The  AppleTV, at this moment, is the superior option. It offers a lot more bang for your buck, Airplay audio, Airplay video from iOS/OS X. Airplay Mirror from iOS/OS X, as well as all the standalone content, including iTunes Match & iTunes video & music content in the cloud. And it keeps getting better with more content & I still believe Apple will eventually bring out an SDK for it.

It will fit into my Apple lifestyle beautifully.

Reason #1 - Apple's ecosystem and UI are unbeatable. Reason #2 - Apple TV has more features, the biggest for me being iTunes Match and access to all of my music. Apple TV playing music through my home stereo is top notch. Would love another unit to put in the den.

Aside from the fact that everything I own is Apple, I've always wanted the chance to get an Apple TV. I don't have anything but my iPad to watch Netflix and HBO Go and that gets really tiresome. I would hope that the Apple TV would definitely improve my viewing experience. Let's hope that by some stroke of luck I manage to win the Apple TV! Thanks :D

I have a macbook air and an iphone, so using an apple TV just makes sense, works, and fits with everything :)

Because I love how it looks, it works amazingly and also beacause of airplay!

Apple gives everything u need without all the useless bells and whistles that just make something cheesy.. Love apple products!!

Simply, because I am an Apple guy and it just works.

Our content is locked in the Apple ecosystem and my wife and daughter would love Netflix in the playroom.

simple. because it has airplay.

Because I would be a (bigger) fool to walk away from all the money I have invested in the App stores...and I'm an Apple guy, what am I going to do, switch to Windows Phone? ;-)

My iPad mini will work with Chromecast, but I mean c'mon you know it would rather play with an Apple TV.

It's an Apple, enough said. Went to IOS last year and will not accept anything else in my entertainment equipment!

Because Chromecast doesn't support Airplay, I need Apple TV for airplay!

because it will allow me to stream video and play games from my iPhone, iPad and Mac on the TV!

A name like Chromecast is asking for trouble...plus airplay

One iPhone 5, Two iPhones 4S, One iPad mini, One iPad 2 in home. There are no better reasons!

Apple products are rock solid. When you buy into Apple's environment you're guaranteed security and compatibility. Saving a few dollars on other products only end up costing more in the long run.

Stick with Apple and enjoy your tech

I've been wanting an Apple TV for a long time. I'd prefer it over the chromecast so I could easily watch my rented stuff from Apple on my TV.

I would much rather have a device that gives me the choice between being a remote screen or a stand alone content viewer.

AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay AirPlay

I like Apple TV.

I would want Apple TV for the simple fact of the quality I would be getting. Oh by the way did I mention that I love iMore.

AirPlay is a much better setup since I'm a iPhone and iPad kind of guy.

I want to win an Apple TV because it will enhance the apple ecosystem I'm already invested in"

Well I could go the cheap route and get the chromecast, but what kind of father would I be setting that up for my 3 year olds room. No no no no, I want an Apple TV so I can stream all his kiddy movies from my Mac. Then he'll grow up appreciating apple's products and its ecosystem :)

Would be a good addition to my Apple family.

Because it matches my decor, of course. Basic Black.

Well Apple TV would just make my living room "magical". Chrome on the other end would just make that shit tacky.

I actually really want this. Have been reading iMore for god knows how long. It would be a nice gift to a loyal reader.

Because who wants to let google know every single shitty movie you watch? Because with an Apple TV and Air Play you can stream chrome in glorious full HD. Because reasons!!

Love Apple TV! Don't care about ChromeCast.

I've always wanted an Apple TV so I can watch my movies and stream my games and music. And apple rules over everything!!!

Because it would make everything so much easier. Please, please,please.

AirPlay seems like the right way to do mirroring in my opinion! It would work perfectly with my iPad

Because more titles are available, it's easier to use, I love APPLE products, and because Comcast is killing me! I would also be very appreciative! :)

The apple of my eye, why should I win a TV, because I'm still watching the 19", like "huh, what is 3D?"

Because Google has crap products

Ability to access iTunes content.

I have no love for the android os and have no desire to stream my browser to the tv all the time. I would love to win, i never have before!

Mirroring rules!

Because I have a good amount of iTunes content the chrome cast from what I understand it needs to have something else send content to it (I know there's a netflix & pandora deal) however I'd like to use more than those two services. Thanks for everything

Works with iTunes and all my IOS devices

It will work with the upcoming iradio.

I would love one for the family room, I prefer all Apple products over any other including Google, Microsoft etc.

I'm not going to bs you I just want one!!!:)

Because Apple has always made very reliable products that are very user friendly. I can't say the same for the "other guys."

I think I should win an Apple Tv because i am a huge apple fan! I used to hate Apple and love Google! In April i decided to try something different and bought an iPhone.. I now hate Google and love Apple!! I have tried a friends Apple TV and i love it! It is way better then a Google Chromecast because you can have airplay, Mirroring, your photo stream, iCloud, music, Netflix, rent movies from iTunes, Watch live sports, Remote or control from your Idevice with the Remote app, its all HD (1080p) and last but not least it is of course an Apple device which is always better than anything! :)

Works great with Real Racing

I would prefer to have something that is not in Beta. Besides that, Airplay music thorugh out my home, and movies organized through itunes. Why wouldn't I want anything else.

I'd prefer an Apple TV device rather than a Chromecast one for the simple fact that Apple TV is an already well established product which has been tried and tested. Chromecast is the "new kid on the block" as it were, and still has yet to prove its mettle as a viable alternative.

I'd rather have an Apple TV because of it's ease of use with other Apple products and it's more diverse application and streaming support.

Apple TV started the trend of streaming all your media. No more need for DVDs.

macfluence. macneeded.

Recently coming from blackberry I bought an iPhone. I wasn't very impressed with the nexus7 I purchased so I didn't go android. Having a mbp and the iPhone sync the iTunes accts is really cool. I think the airplay would fit perfectly in my just now growing apple collection. I believe that apple has it down to a science when it comes to sharing media and the airplay makes it all come together. I want it to all come together for me!

It's just not Apple! Once you go Mac you never go back!

Because most my device end digital movie are with Apple

I rather have apple tv so I can use air play to watch all my iTunes video with my iPad and iPhone :)

I just bought an iPad mini to ditch my nexus 7 and S3, and complete the circle of my apple ecosystem ( MacBook, iPhone, and iPad). Google tries hard, but apple simply "does".

Are you kidding I have to explain why I prefer Apple product over a Google product. If that's the case just keep it.

With an Apple TV I would be able to "AirPlay Mirror" the wonderful MyReef 3D aquarium app from the iPhone directly to the tv and enjoy virtual relaxing fish between a song form iTunes and a movie from the store online... Plus I don't think Chromecast comes with a remote as sleek as Apple's!!! ;)

Rather than telling why I like Apple TV, I list why I don't buy Chromecast even at $35:

1. Chromecast is not as compact as it advertised. In reality, you very likely need to connect it to an external power adapter. Unless your TV has a USB port that Chromecast can connect to.

2. Chromecast supports multi-platforms like iOS, Android, etc. So does Apple TV. In fact, AirPlay protocol has been supported by Android and Windows 8. Note that Windows 8 doesn't support Chromecast (yet).

3. Chromecast is a glorified remote signal receiver. Unlike Apple TV, it doesn't replicate the screen elements from your iPhone, Android, or Windows 8. It simply receives your what-to-watch command from your Android phone.

I'd give it to my in-laws so we can view photos and videos of our kids via AirPlay when we visit instead of everyone huddling around our iPhones.

Really??? Why would you not want a Apple TV.

Although impressed by Google's drive to put out a possible 'game-changing' product, I'd rather have an Apple TV. It has a lot more to offer and is reliable. I am heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem & don't want to take a chance on a one trick pony.

Thank you iMore.

I already own apple devices (macbook,iphone,ipod,ipad) so being able to complete the loop and have everything working flawlessly on my tv too would be awesome and the apple tv system is a big plus just by itself!

I would like the Apple TV over the chromecast because all of our family devices are idevices and also because you are giving them away. :)

Because it's apple, and I want something that just works...

I've been thinking of getting a streaming player for some time now, and since I pretty much have all Apple products, I was thinking of getting an Apple TV. I've been tempted by Roku and Chromecast, so a free Apple TV will be a great way to stick with Apple!

Mirroring all the way

Local streaming. Mirroring. iTunes Match.

Because of the handsome interface and that I can use Netflix on it.

I would prefer the Apple TV over chromecast simply because EVERYTHING apple, is just better!

I would rather have an Apple TV versus a Chromecast because I have no intent on owning an Android phone, and I already am heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. With an iPhone and Macbook Pro, I have had a keen eye on Apple TV as it would allow me to have a set top box in my dorm room at school.

Apple TV has airplay and is of higher quality than chromecast.

I like Apples! And TVs too! Get it? Sorry, that's the best I have.

Because I'm posting this on my iPhone, looking at my iPad, across the room is a MacBook Pro and my media server is a Mac mini. Why would I want something from google?

Because of the apple ecosystem is second to none, and airplay
Makes the apple TV so much more than the box itself

Compatability. That and Its probably the only thing my parents would be able to use out of the box. :)

Because all my Apple products are checking out my TV with lustful eyes.

How else am I going to stream my iPad , iPhone and MacBook to my beautiful 46" HDTV so seamlessly ?! Now with Mavericks coming out, there's really no option other than having an Apple TV to go with any setup you have in your office or home

Because you know it will work (and always work).

Apple is my life!!!

Because it would match all my other Apple products and be compatible with them. Also because I have just about enough space on my tv cabinet for an apple tv.

Its just simple I'm a Apple fan and apple to me is more easy to set up. I feel that Google charm you have to do to much just to set something up something so small

Duh! AppleTV has a remote.

iTunes...need I say more?

The ease of use with other Apple devices that couldn't be achieved with the Google device.

Because apple TV would work wayyyyy better with my macbook pro than chromecast

It's made by apple...and I LOVE the appleTV interface!!

I would rather have an Apple TV over a chromecast because I am an apple junkie and I believe that it would work a lot better with my iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro than a chromecast would.. I really want to win an Apple TV so I can get to see what it is capable of doing with all of my other apple products!

I have Hulu and Netflix. I use those services on my Mac. I want to be able to watch them on my TV. My friend had a blueray player he used to bring that would do something similar, but it wasnt easy to use. There is nothing in the market like Apple TV. My life would much easier having it.

because i love little boxes that make magic! and google is worse than big brother!

I'd prefer the Apple TV because it's a more fully evolved piece of tech, I have no worries about its compatibility with all the Apple gear I already have and I understand it'll let me access more features.

Because it's a perfect product made by a perfect company that I adore! I will use it and enjoy it every day and think of imore every time I see it!

Thanks for letting me participate!

"It just works"

Because of AirPlay. And Netflix. A perfect combination.

Chromecast has a great price - but that's about it. I like the ability to send all my local content to the ATV. It has to be one of the most under-rated products that Apple sells.

It would be great to own a device that seamlessly integrated with my Mac and iOS devices.

Airplay! & because it just works!!!

i want the apple tv because i would like to display my macbook onto my television and be able to stream netflix and hulu without having to power up my ps3 which is a power hog

I’d much rather have an AppleTV, as i would be happier being able to use Airplay from any of my other iOS devices than having to deal with a browser.

Because I need one. Getting rid of cable. And because of its powers. Hail AppleTV!!!

Might as well try - while the Chromecast sounds pretty cool, an Apple TV is still worth more. Hence the better prize. Plus I have an iPhone/Mac.

because apple tv is just better!

Current TV has no available HDMI ports.

Apple TV, is there anything else? Never heard of the Google Chroma casta thinga ma bob.

I need one

Because it will allow me another item to post about on iMore

Because I love to mirror my iPad or iPhone on the big screen. Easy to use, functional and classy!

Because Apple > Google :D

Well, Chromecast is better so I cannot say anything. Yet, I hope I'm eligible for the TV. It's only better because Chromecast does not (currently) officially support device mirroring, something I'd love to use with my iPad.

I'd rather have the apple tv because it can do full screen mirroring of both my iOS devices and my mac, I can use it for gaming.

Because I have bought more music and movies on itunes when compared to the google play store

Definitely would prefer an Apple TV. Gf and I plan on cutting the i plan on cutting the cord when I leave for my next deployment.

Because pretty much all my college gear is an Apple product, and I love the ecosystem and how everything works together in sync. Been wanting an Apple TV for a while but haven't been able to get one, it would be a great addition to the family. :)

I already use Apple devices exclusively ease of operation

I'd like an AppleTV so that I can watch HBO Go, and airplay music to the speakers I have hooked up to my TV.

1. content. We all know Apple is content-heavy.
2. it's not an USB dongle that will most likely require an unsightly cable to be attached to it.

I would rather use this because...THIS IS AN APPLE FAMILY!

Because Ethernet is so reliable.

Maybe this will get me to Leave my Galaxy S3 alone........

iTunes store and airplay!

The Apple TV is better than Chromecast because it has Hulu Plus and can be used as a stand-alone entertainment unit.

Rene! I want the AppleTV for my new apartment so I can easily AirPlay from my iPad/iPhone/iMac wherever I may be in the place--and also access to iTunes of course!

Because all the bugs have been worked out!!

Apple's eco-system>Every other eco system

Airplay

I already have 1 Apple TV and love it! Want one so bad for my bedroom. Totally superior device to the Chromecast with Airplay capabilities!

because it's an Apple and everything just works in their ecosystem.

What's next for the APTV and AirPlay over Chromecast and Casting?

I have tossed many ideas around and I find that Apple can make this device the center of our living room. Very simple....it should be called the all new "Apple TV Box"! Instead of a 46", 55", and 65" LED Displays why not make Apple TV a main receiver and beam to our current APTV units. Make Siri a focal point as well.

Please give this away so it's no longer pinned to the top of the page.

airplay mirroring

Airplay RealRacing3

Because an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. And a new Apple tv? Even better. I can watch all of the apples I want while I admire the new mac tower!

Because it's a apple product

1) iPhone
2) iPad
3)MacBook Pro
4)iTunes movies
everything will works like it should.

Its quite simple, in fact one word; Ecosystem. With that you rule it all. Why need the chrome cast when all you own is Apple products. It just makes sense.

Because Apple TV is the best product, way better than google chromecaster. Mostly because of iTunes, AirPlay and of course it's an apple product!

I was just about to buy a new TV and was thinking of a Smart TV, but then decided to stick to the Apple family for a consistent, great interface. So we'll buy a non-Smart TV (if we can find one) and then buy an Apple TV to make it smart. Would love to get one through this giveaway!

Because Apple TV can do what Chromecast does, but Chromecast can't do what Apple TV does. Apple TV is best of both worlds.

Airplay. WatchESPN. HBOGo. Bringing my iPhone and iPad to my TV screen.

I would prefer an Apple TV because I'm already in the Apple ecosystem and my household has multiple Apple products. Truth be told, I'll still get a Chromecast as well.

Because I don't have a laptop to send media from.

Because it's an Apple product, plus airplay is where it's at!

For me, it's about the supported apps

Chromecast: Netflix, You Tube, Google Play
Apple TV: Netflix, You Tube, HBO Go, Hulu+, Itunes, ESPN etc.

I'd prefer an Apple TV over a Chromecast because I'd like to stream whatever content I have on iTunes onto my TV without having to interface my actual computer.

With Apple TV, I can access ALL my iTunes content (music, movies, TV shows, Podcasts) and pictures, plus stream via AirPlay from my iPad or iPhone. I love the fact that with Apple TV I can also access Netflix, Hulu, and a variety of Cable Networks like HBO and Showtime (if you're a cable subscriber). I'm an entertainment junkie, and having this nimble access to all of these media outlets and venues really makes the viewing and listening pleasure that much more enjoyable. And, with individual Apple TV's on each TV in the house, I can start a movie or show from my iTunes on one TV and finish it another room by continuing where I left off. Same with Netflix. It's simple, brilliant, and oh, so much HighDef fun!

Because I could not bear to listen to MacBreak Weekly on the Chromecast!

Because it's Apple.

My wife and I are both ipad users and fans. The Apple TV would make for a great next step in our Apple evolution. As seniors we try to keep up with technology and the Apple TV would allow us to take advantage of our new TV's capability.

Apply TV is gonna the key to my HTC!

Got one for Father's Day that I use on our main TV, would love to have one for the TV in the bedroom now.

Apps are coming! ATV is only getting better.
Now they'll be forced to innovate even more!

Airplay and Netflix!!! That's what I need and AppleTV got it!

Apple TV rules the the category and its only going to get better as more apps are added.

Apple TV can do more right now!

I switched over last year from Android and Windows, slowly trying to win my work over and move everyone to an IPHONE....signed IT Manager

1. i expect more updates to come which will have more functionality of practical use in the long run for the platform since release of chromecast and can use it as a beta before a new apple tv device launches.

2. im testing out integration with iOS7 and Mac OS and how it can work universally

3. build quality and durability

Because I got rid of overpriced cable and now just use roku to watch tv. I'd like an appletv to hook all my other apple products together as well.

The AppleTV fits the Apple ecosystem in my house.

I would love an Apple TV so that it's integrated well with my iOS device so that I can stream content a lot better. And I always wanted to watch a keynote from an Apple TV so this will give me a great chance to do so!

An AppleTV would push me into the 21st century and tie in very well with my iDevices. To be clear, I would LOVE to go Apple 100%! Thanks for picking me.

Sent from the iMore App

Because in our house we have 2 - iPhones and 2 - iPads. No android devices in our house! Shoo...get away google!

Because I'm an apple freak!!! I only own apple. iPhones, ipads, iMac, macbook air, macbook pro, ipod touches, ipod shuffles, nanoes, The only thing missing is apple tv!!!!! just chromecast doesnt work so..... I WANT 1

Reliable, Simple, and with Airplay feature nothing can beat it.

Why would I rather an Apple TV? First, as of now, there isnt really any support for chromecast aside from the services mentioned by googles event. Second, i don't want my phone to be the main source of entertainment, even if the content gets sent to the cloud. I would rather all the services be onboard the device

Because it will Airplay like a champ with my iPhone 5!! Thanks, iMore!

We are an Apple family. We love our iPads and iPhones and would love to be able to use Airplay to play our content from our devices. I would really like to get to know the Apple TV and the great uses it can provide for our family. Sorry but ~Chromecast~ just wont cut it with my family. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of spying mechanism in the Chromecast to watch everything people are doing :) jk.

Because I am sold into the Apple Ecosystem and already have an apple TV in my living room. Desperately need one for my bedroom TV. Wife won't allow me to spend more on Apple products :)

because it is white

Because I am leaving the android Google environment and going to Apple

It would be great to add this to our entertainment system. I am currently using a Leveno PC hooked to my TV. I've had it for a couple years but its so hard to use and I can't stream my itunes music on it. Anyway Apple TV would be a great replacement for that unit and my family would love it.

Because chromecast doesn't have any device streaming. Meaning I can't show anything that doesn't live on the web.

The Apple TV does more!

Apple products are superior in every way!! Apple support is amazing & the products apple releases are top notch!! Apple TV is the future generation of TV watching!!! Everyone I know loves their Apple TV!!

It's better because of Airplay and plus there's a chance that it'll be jailbroken soon and then I'd be able to run XBMC on it.

I have more content in iTunes right now than elsewhere, it would be helpful to have.

Not only is Apple TV the superior product, but all of my wife's gadgets and gizmos are Apple (iphone, ipad, macbook pro).

Airplay and more content options!!

Besides already changing my movie watching and music listening, Apple TV has/will change my football watching experience this fall. With the addition of WatchESPN to Apple TV, I can now keep up with my alma mater's team on all of the ESPN3 channels. Since I live far away from the university I attended and it is a smaller school, I don't have the luxury of watching the team on national television. When I was planning out my fall saturday football schedule, I had to figure out how I was going to watch these games. It was going to be either on my phone, Airplay it, or sit in front of my computer.
Now that I have an Apple TV and WatchESPN, problem solved. I can watch all of the ESPN3 televised games through AppleTV in HD. Even then, since one game will be Televised through another network, no problem...I'll just airplay to AppleTv through the iPhone app I have.
There is ONE problem, I only have ONE AppleTV aaand its in the bedroom. I can't convince my wife that we need another one for the living room. I know, I know, its only 100 bucks...but I cant justify spending another 100 bucks on AppleTV when we've got our 2nd child on the way!!

All that said, Google Chromecast cannot do everything AppleTV can. This fall is scheduled around AppleTV's abilities and I love it!!
The last piece I need is ONE more AppleTV for the big screen!!

I'd prefer the Apple TV because it simply works. The Chromecast does, but it doesn't, and in the future it might work with ipad and iphone. I picked one up last night. With the ipad it ONLY works with Netflix and Youtube - NOT with Chrome. With the MAC it works with Chrome. With the iphone - forget it. The ipad/iphone app is not available yet. In short, MAYBE someday it MIGHT work - but for now, the trusty Apple TV does everything it is supposed to do with all my other toys.

I use a Macbook Pro. I think Apple TV is a way more seamless and integrated experience.

I would rather have an AppleTV so I can stream my iTunes ;)

Lets see, Chromecast with still limited apps or AppleTV with most if not all of the stuff I want. Easy choice, AppleTV please. And Thank you soo much.

All of my devices are Apple so Apple TV works better for me. Can't beat mirroring.

Airplay and existing infrastructure

My daughters and I all have iOS devices and would love to start using an Apple TV that we can all interface with.

I'd rather have an Apple TV because I already own a MacBook Pro, an iPad, and an iPhone. AirPlay just works out of the box -- without Chrome.

because im newly delving into the apple ecosystem and since im saving for a macbook i wanna save as much money possible. please donate to the me foundation :D

Because I like the idea of sticking with Apple for my media needs.

Because it will just work with my ipad

The answer is pretty straight forward! Apple's ecosystem!! Everything I own is baked right into the ecosystem, with movies, songs from iTunes and definitely AirPlay anytime! :D

I am deep into the apple ecosystem so things just work. Plus since update with HBO Go I have used it even more. I have not used the chrome cast but the Apple TV while not perfect has had the best navigation then it's competitors.

I want apple TV because i dont have it.
And i dont want chromecast.

Because I like Apple and love free things.
