Apple TV 4K -- 64GB or 128GB?

[jamesmcnee]

Hey folks,

Looking to buy a new Apple TV (the box not the service).

There seem to be two variables

-- Wi-Fi vs Wi-Fi + Ethernet (I can figure that one out)

-- 64 GB vs 128 GB

price difference is twenty bucks for the 128

What is the advantage of more storage?

I'll just use it to stream from NetFlix etc and I don't have a fancy TV

Thoughts?

Thanks

The storage is not likely an issue if you are using it for just streaming. Streaming apps don't use very much space. The difference is really down to ethernet and thread support in the 128gb version. Also, there are rumors they will announce a new version this month so it might be worth it to wait a few weeks.

you wont need the storage unless you want to download games, and well, there arent any games worth downloading...

as for networking. seriously consider ethernet if its your only home hub and you intend to try out homekit

You might think that, but those screen savers take up so much space. I've lost count of the number of times Infuse deletes it's metadata/cover art cache on my 32 GB 2021 model despite the fact that, the storage section in settings tells me I've only used a couple of GB.
