Apple’s latest TV 4K adds power, but its $300 price limits appeal

Apple’s fourth generation Apple TV 4K adds a faster chip, more storage, a remote that can be located through Find My and support for surround sound across four HomePods. At $300, it costs substantially more than rival streaming boxes, so the reviewer sees it as most worthwhile for people already invested in Apple products.

The new model keeps the previous version’s size, ports, interface and HDR support, but uses an A19 chip and includes 128GB of storage, with no cheaper 64GB option. Siri can search personal messages for recommendations when linked to an Apple device, though results were inconsistent in testing; the updated Siri is also coming to older Apple TV 4K models.
