Too embarrassed to ask what Apple TV is to store employees or your friends? Don’t worry, we’ve been there. If you’re brand new to Apple products and you’re considering getting Apple TV for the very first time, you may be wondering what’s so special about it. If these thoughts roam inside your mind, then you are not alone. So, what is the Apple TV? Ironically, it’s not a TV. It’s a $69, small plastic device that fits within the palm of your hands and helps you stream videos directly to your TV from the internet. It turns your ordinary TV into a smart TV. If you ever wanted to watch You Tube on a regular television and couldn’t afford a Smart TV with Wi-Fi capabilities, get the Apple TV. It plugs into the HDMI port of your TV. You set it up with a HDMI cable, connect it to your TV and let the streaming begin. There’s one more thing to keep in mind before using it. It is controlled remotely and externally, not internally. You need a remote device to be able to control it and stream content to it. You need an iTunes account in order to stream and play movies and TV shows on it.
