Is the 128 GB Apple TV 4K worth it over the 64 GB model?

Yes, if you want a wired network or smart home use. The 128 GB version adds Ethernet and Thread, which the 64 GB model lacks. Storage matters little for streaming, so the ports are the real reason to pick it.

Does it support 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

Yes. It handles 4K Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos, and it can send Spatial Audio to AirPods or a paired HomePod pair. Your TV and sound system must support those formats too.

Can I use it without other Apple devices?

Yes, but you lose much of the appeal. Setup, AirPlay, FaceTime and the home hub features work best with an iPhone. Streaming apps work fine on their own.

Does it work as a smart home hub?

Yes. It acts as a HomeKit home hub and supports Thread, so it can control and automate compatible lights, locks and thermostats remotely. Matter accessories are supported as well.

The box contains the Apple TV 4K and a Siri Remote. You supply an HDMI cable, which is not included, and a power outlet.

How does it compare with the previous Apple TV 4K?

The 2022 model moves to the A15 chip, adds HDR10+ and a USB-C Siri Remote, and offers a cheaper 64 GB option. The 128 GB version keeps Ethernet and adds Thread for smart home use.
