You know that moment when you’re three glasses of wine deep, staring at the Amazon cart, and you think to yourself, “What if I just… really committed?” That was me last Tuesday, 1:47 AM, with the Apple 2021 Apple TV 4K 64GB - Black (2nd Generation) (Renewed) in my digital hands. $175.61. That’s not a typo. That’s the price of a dinner for two at a decent Italian place, but instead, I chose to answer the question nobody asked: can you use this Sony Apple TV rectally? Don’t google that, by the way. I already did. The results are bleak and mostly about home theater systems.
Look, I’m Tim. The intern. They give me the products nobody else wants. But this? This felt like destiny. The device is sleek. Black. Smooth. It whispers “4K” at you from the box. But let me be real — when I first picked it up, the weight surprised me. It’s dense. Like a hockey puck made of silicon and regret. And yes, I tested it. For science. For content. For a rectal use suitability test that my therapist now knows about.
The insertion? Not as catastrophic as you’d think. The edges are mercifully rounded. The power cord is useless, obviously, so I snipped it off with wire cutters. There’s no HDMI port commentary needed here, just a quiet, tense moment between me and a piece of expensive refurbished tech. The real Sony Apple TV real review should include a warning: when it turns on via Siri remote (which I still haven’t found), the micro-vibrations are unsettling. Like a buzzing alien egg. I wouldn’t recommend sitting on it during a meeting.
Also — if you’re looking for a 3.5mm audio jack for any reason, stop. It’s not there. And if it was, it wouldn’t help. I tried a USB-C dock adapter thinking “what if this expands my options,” but all it did was create a weird noise that sounded like a snake with a cough.
Would I buy or skip this? Look, it’s a good player. Streaming is crisp. The interface is fast. But is Sony Apple TV safe for anything other than its intended purpose? Only if you enjoy mild panic. Trying this was a mistake, Sony Apple TV. And if you do decide to experiment, skip the renew. Go new. Your colon deserves better than someone else’s casual Amazon return.
