![]() The Siri remote is simple, yet it works well and can control certain TVs volume and power. ![]() This is a basic remote, with a responsive capacitive pad, a number of clicky buttons and speedy voice control. You won’t find an HDMI cable bundled with either Apple TV, but you will find the Siri remote. ![]() Considering the price difference is minimal, I think the top-end model is the better pick. The higher-end model also has 128GB storage, as opposed to 64GB, and support for the Thread networking tech that powers the new Matter smart home standard. Plugging the Apple TV into wired internet, rather than relying on Wi-Fi, gives a more stable, faster connection that’s preferable if you’re streaming 4K video. While the basic version (£149/$129) has HDMI and power ports on the back, the pricier £169/$149 model adds in a Gigabit ethernet port that’s capable of faster speeds than the ethernet port on the Fire TV Cube (2022). There are actually two models of this Apple TV available and the big differences between the two are found around the back. The Apple TV 4K (2022) is squatter than the Fire TV Cube (2022) yet being a streaming box, rather than a stick that plugs directly into an HDMI port, it’s still larger than something like the Chromecast with Google TV. But if you were to travel with the Apple TV (maybe to plug in at a hotel) then the smaller dimensions are welcome. It’s a much smaller, lighter device than the previous Apple TV, which likely won’t make much difference to many as this is very much a device you’ll plug in and leave. There’s a small LED on the front to show when the box is turned on, but that’s it. The black colour and lack of overt branding – aside from a small Apple logo on the top – give it a subtle, stealthy look I appreciate. The Apple TV 4K (2022) is a well-designed streaming box that should fit snuggly into most people’s setups.
