Product Details

The Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) combines a powerful streaming device with smart home hub functionality. The A15 Bionic chip delivers up to 50% better CPU and 30% better GPU performance than the previous generation.

The 128GB Wi-Fi + Ethernet model includes Thread border router capability for Matter-over-Thread devices, making it the centerpiece of an Apple HomeKit smart home. Gigabit Ethernet ensures reliable connectivity for both streaming and smart home control.

Support for 4K Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos delivers cinema-quality picture and immersive sound. AirPlay lets you stream content from Apple devices, while the redesigned Siri Remote with USB-C charging provides intuitive navigation.

Note: The 64GB Wi-Fi-only model does NOT include Thread/Ethernet. Thread border router requires the 128GB model.
