Google TV for iPhone and Apple Users - Key Differences from Apple TV

While Apple TV is more tied to those who have other Apple products, Google TV can suit both iPhone and Android users. We explain the differences.

There are quite a few similarities between Apple TV and Google TV. With Google TV Streamer or Chromecast with Google TV, you get a remote control, you have apps for the usual streaming services, and you receive recommendations based on what you watch and like.

Chromecast

In Apple TV, you send content from your phone to the TV with Airplay. In Google TV, you do the same but with Chromecast technology. It works practically the same and also works from apps on iPhone and iPad, just like on Android devices.

Voice Control

In Apple TV, it's Siri that applies, and you hold down the voice button on the remote control to speak. In the same way, but here with Google Assistant, it can be done on Google TV.

Google Account

You need a Google account to get started. Google's relevant apps Google Home, Google TV, and Google Photos, which manage the screensaver in Google TV, are also available for iOS.

Purchased Movies and Apple TV Plus
