Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen, 64GB Wi-Fi)

The fastest streaming box, with an ad-free interface — at a price that just jumped. At $199, Apple's 2022 model sits at the premium end of the category — the streaming Devices we compare run from $34.99 to $249. It scores 7.8/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Speed & Performance at 9.5/10 — processor, RAM, and how quickly menus and apps respond. The weakest is Value at 4.5/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: no ethernet port on this variant — you need the 128GB model for that; and no Thread radio, so it cannot act as a Thread border router. Every specification on this page comes from Apple's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
