AppleTV 4K (3rd Gen) 2022

Even smaller than their predecessor Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen), the Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) models are fanless, faster, and add support for HDR10+. This Wi-Fi + Ethernet model (A2843) has the same Gigabit Ethernet and Thread networking support as its predecessor and increases internal storage, as well.

The Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen, 2022, Wi-Fi + Ethernet) is powered by a five core Apple A15 Bionic processor, has 4 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of internal flash memory storage.

Connectivity includes HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 2x2 MIMO, Gigabit Ethernet, Thread networking support, and Bluetooth 5.0.

The Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) models ship with a new USB-C equipped "Siri Remote" (A2854, EMC 8220). It has a a touch-enabled "clickpad control that offers five-way navigation" and an outer ring that works as a "jog control" for quick scene selection. It also has a microphone for use with Siri, too. In a particularly miserly omission, though, a necessary USB-C charging cable is not included.

As the flagship model of its generation, this device represented the pinnacle of streaming technology at the time. It combined the powerful A15 Bionic chip and HDR10+ support of its Wi-Fi-only sibling with the robust connectivity of Gigabit Ethernet and Thread networking.

It was lauded as a no-compromise device that delivered exceptional speed, stunning picture quality, and future-proof connectivity, solidifying Apple TV's position as a premium set-top box. [10, 19]
