ipad mini, apple TV gen 3, nimbus controller

I have a ipad mini, apple tv gen 3, and nimbus controller. I was wondering it the apple TV 4k can do more than I can and if so what. I was really wanting the 4k, but not sure if it is cost effective for what I already have and can do. Any thoughts? I want to play games, watch Netflix, maybe search the web, watch movies from my portable HD, and other things.


Thanks in advance.

- It would give you access to 4K content, HD iTunes purchases upgraded for no cost.

- You would be able to download games directly to your Apple TV, which play and look much better than using airplay and/or iPad mini. Some are specifically designed for the TVOS platform

-App store with lots of great content

-If you use Apple Music or iCloud Photo library you would have native support on Apple TV

-Airplay 2

-Beautiful screensavers

-Bluetooth support for not only the controller but a headset.

etc.


Only you can decide what's worth it but for me it was a great investment.

Thank you for your reply and everything you said about the 4k is what I've read. What I am really wanting to know is whether or not it can do more than the ipad, apple tv 3rd gen, and a nimbus controller combined. It it can, I would like to know what that is so I can decide if it is a big enough feature to justify spending $179 or $199 to get the 4K.


Thanks
