Our take on the Apple TV 4K Wi-Fi with 64GB Storage

The Apple TV 4K is Apple's streaming box, built on the A15 Bionic chip with 64GB of storage and Wi-Fi 6. It plays 4K HDR video, runs the tvOS app store, and pairs with the Siri Remote for voice search and touch navigation. It suits people already in Apple's ecosystem who want the smoothest interface and tight iPhone, iPad and AirPods integration. Rivals like the Roku Ultra and Amazon Fire TV Cube cost less and add more ports or hands-free Alexa, but reviewers consistently rate Apple's interface, speed and picture handling above them.
