3rd Generation 2012 Apple TV is it still worth in 2024?

 

Limitations: 

Software Updates: Apple discontinued software updates for this model in 2015, so it lacks the latest features and security updates. 

App Support: It doesn't support the tvOS App Store, so you won't have access to new apps and services that are available on newer Apple TV models. 

Streaming Quality: The 3rd generation Apple TV supports up to 1080p HD streaming but not 4K HDR, which is becoming the standard for streaming content. 

Performance: The hardware is quite dated, leading to slower performance and potentially more lag when navigating or streaming. 

Potential Uses: 

Basic Streaming: If you only need a device for basic streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, it could still be functional if these apps are still supported. 

AirPlay: It can still be used as an AirPlay receiver, allowing you to stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your TV. 

Spare Device: It can serve as a backup or be used in secondary locations, like a guest room, where advanced features are less critical. 

Alternatives: Newer Apple TV Models: Newer models support 4K HDR, have better performance, and access to a wide range of apps through the tvOS App Store. Other Streaming Devices: Consider alternatives like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Google Chromecast, which offer more features and better performance at a reasonable price. 

 

Conclusion: While the 3rd Generation Apple TV can still serve basic streaming and AirPlay needs, its limitations and lack of support make it less appealing in 2024. Investing in a newer streaming device would provide a better experience and more features.

My favourite writer Humayun Ahmed

There is none who can replace him.At least the standard which he create in is life time in the running literature it never be replaceable.The new generation which is all the time busy in playing PC games,chatting ,bands etc. only his writing makes them to take a glance on the literature.For example Himu and Misir ali all the time keep them on track by anti-logic and logic.They also have show-down on the novel.I myself read all of the books of Himu and Misir ali and wait for the new one to come every year.Now I have to wait for life time. Except books he makes our dirty film industry pure by his heart warming ,well versed film.Following him many new producer try to make well and good film (not the dirty one) .He also contribute our drama by his dashing drama's.
