For most buyers, I’d start with the third-generation Apple TV 4K with Wi-Fi and 64GB: its A15 Bionic chip, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos make it a strong balance of current capabilities and everyday streaming. The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is the feature-forward choice on paper, adding an A19 chip, HDR10+, a Siri Remote with Find My, and smart-home hub features. If you want similar third-generation performance while considering a renewed unit, the renewed 64GB model offers the same core platform with a shorter warranty window.

The main tradeoffs are less about whether these boxes can stream 4K and more about generation, condition, and connectivity. The two third-generation 64GB listings share the A15 platform but differ in condition and stated warranty details; the renewed second-generation and 2017 models trade newer hardware for a pre-owned purchase. I rank the options by how well their stated features serve a typical Apple TV 4K buyer, then account for the practical costs of buying renewed and the limits in the supplied product information.

Key Takeaways
- The third-generation Wi-Fi 64GB Apple TV 4K is my best overall pick because its A15 chip, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and 64GB storage make a well-rounded streaming combination.
- The fourth-generation listing adds the newest stated chip, HDR10+, Find My for the Siri Remote, and smart-home hub functions, but its product details include an unusual one-A-battery requirement and a HomePod surround caveat.
- The renewed third-generation 64GB model shares the A15 platform with the standard third-generation listing; its short stated warranty makes condition and return terms worth checking.
- The renewed 2021 second-generation model is a reasonable fit for buyers who want Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos without needing HDR10+ or the newer A15 platform.
- The renewed 2017 A1842 is the oldest option here, so I’d choose it only when its 4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10, and Ethernet support fit a specific setup and the renewed condition is acceptable.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation) Wi-Fi, 64GB
This is my best overall Apple TV 4K because it combines the core features I’d prioritize for a main living-room streamer: 4K video, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and 64GB of storage. The A15 Bionic chip puts it a generation ahead of the renewed 2021 model’s A12 and well ahead of the 2017 model’s A10X on the supplied specifications. It also has more listed storage than either older 32GB renewed option, which gives buyers more room for apps and games without changing the basic setup.
Its strongest comparison is with the renewed third-generation 64GB model later in this list. Both listings specify the A15 platform, 64GB, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos, so the standard listing is my cleaner recommendation when condition and warranty clarity matter. The renewed version may suit someone willing to accept a used unit, but the information supplied for that listing specifies a 90-day limited warranty. This entry does not state a warranty in its provided details either, so I’d verify the seller’s terms before buying rather than assume coverage.
The Wi-Fi-only connection is a real limitation for buyers who want a wired network; unlike the 2017 A1842, its listed connectivity does not include Gigabit Ethernet. Its Thread support and HomePod mini integration may also matter more to an Apple-centered smart home than to a buyer who only wants streaming apps. I’d pick it as the strongest all-around choice for a compatible TV and Wi-Fi network, but not for a setup that depends on Ethernet or a clearly documented warranty.
Pros:- A15 Bionic processor and 64GB storage
- 4K with Dolby Vision and HDR10+
- Dolby Atmos audio support
- AirPlay, HomePod mini integration, and Thread support
Cons:- Listed connectivity is Wi-Fi only, unlike the 2017 model’s Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet
- The supplied specifications do not state a warranty
- Smart-home features add little for buyers who only stream video
Best for: Buyers who want a well-rounded third-generation Apple TV 4K with 64GB storage, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and smart-home features.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need Gigabit Ethernet, prefer a renewed listing with an explicitly stated warranty, or do not need more than basic streaming.
- Generation:3rd generation
- Storage:64GB
- Processor:A15 Bionic
- Video:4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10+
- Audio:Dolby Atmos
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi
- Smart-home features:Thread and HomePod mini integration
- Model number:MN873LL/A
Our verdict“I recommend this third-generation 64GB model as the most balanced choice for buyers who want strong video and audio format support without choosing a renewed unit.”
Apple TV 4K (4th Generation)
The fourth-generation listing is the feature-forward pick in this group. Its A19 chip is the newest processor named among these products, while Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and smart-home hub capability give it a broad set of stated features. The Siri Remote with Find My is a practical distinction from the other entries: buyers who often misplace remotes may value locating it more than a small difference in storage or generation. The listing also names Enhance Dialogue, aimed at making spoken audio easier to hear.
Compared with the third-generation 64GB models, this one is presented as the newer generation and adds Find My for the remote. But its provided description does not state storage capacity or Wi-Fi/Ethernet details, so I can’t treat it as a straightforward upgrade for buyers who need to compare those specifics. The product details also say a surround setup requires four HomePod speakers. That caveat makes the advertised audio experience less appealing to anyone expecting a simple pairing with a conventional surround system.
I’d also verify the unusual one-A-battery requirement listed in the specifications. It does not align clearly with the description of a Siri Remote, so buyers should confirm what batteries or accessories are actually included rather than rely on that field alone. These information gaps keep this from taking the top overall spot despite its newer stated chip and added remote feature. It is best for buyers who specifically want the newest listed generation and smart-home options, and who are comfortable checking unclear listing details before purchase.
Pros:- A19 chip is the newest processor specified in this comparison
- Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support
- Siri Remote includes Find My
- Dolby Atmos, Enhance Dialogue, and smart-home hub features
Cons:- Storage and network connection details are not provided
- Listing states surround setup requires four HomePod speakers
- One-A-battery requirement should be verified with the seller
Best for: Buyers seeking the newest generation in this lineup, Find My support for the Siri Remote, and a device that can serve as a smart-home hub.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need confirmed storage and network specifications, or who want a straightforward surround-sound setup without the listed four-HomePod requirement.
- Generation:4th generation
- Processor:A19
- Video:4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10+
- Audio:Dolby Atmos with Enhance Dialogue
- Remote:Siri Remote with Find My
- Smart-home capability:Can serve as a smart-home hub
- Dimensions:3.67 x 3.67 x 1.22 inches
- Weight:7.7 ounces
Our verdict“I’d choose this model for its newest listed generation and Find My remote feature, provided the buyer confirms the listing’s unclear hardware details.”
Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation), 64GB, Wi-Fi, Black (Renewed)
This renewed model keeps the third-generation A15 feature set that makes the standard 64GB version my overall pick: 4K, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and 64GB of storage. Its included Siri Remote has a touch-enabled clickpad and voice control, and the listing says the box works with compatible smart-home accessories. For a buyer comparing generations, it is a much closer match to the standard third-generation device than either renewed older model, both of which have 32GB and older processors.
The main difference is purchase condition, not the advertised streaming platform. This product is identified as renewed and specifies a 90-day limited warranty. That gives the buyer a defined, though limited, warranty period in the supplied details; the standard third-generation listing does not state one. Still, a shorter warranty and pre-owned condition make it less suitable for someone who values a new unit or wants longer documented coverage. I would read the seller’s condition and return terms carefully before choosing it over the standard version.
It is also worth separating this device’s common strengths from features that depend on a wider setup. Dolby Atmos requires compatible content and audio equipment, and smart-home benefits are relevant mainly to households with compatible accessories. Its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity do not offer the listed Gigabit Ethernet connection found on the 2017 model. I’d consider it when the A15 generation and 64GB matter more than new condition, but I’d skip it if the warranty window feels too short or wired networking is a requirement.
Pros:- A15 Bionic chip with 64GB storage
- 4K Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support
- Dolby Atmos and voice-enabled Siri Remote
- Works with compatible smart-home accessories
Cons:- Renewed condition rather than a new unit
- Specified 90-day limited warranty is short
- Connectivity details list Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI, not Ethernet
Best for: Buyers who want a third-generation A15 Apple TV 4K with 64GB storage and are comfortable purchasing a renewed device with a stated 90-day limited warranty.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want a new-condition device, a longer documented warranty, or Ethernet networking.
- Generation:3rd generation
- Condition:Renewed
- Storage:64GB
- Processor:A15 Bionic
- Video formats:4K Dolby Vision, HDR10+
- Audio:Dolby Atmos
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI
- Warranty:90-day limited warranty
Our verdict“I’d pick this renewed third-generation model when its A15 features and 64GB capacity matter more than new condition or longer warranty coverage.”
Apple TV 4K (2nd Generation, 2021), 32GB, Black (Renewed)
The renewed second-generation Apple TV 4K is a sensible step up from the 2017 A1842 if the buyer wants a newer listed processor and Dolby Atmos support while staying with a 32GB device. Its A12 Bionic chip, 4K HDR video, and Dolby Vision cover the main picture features specified here, and the included Siri Remote keeps voice control in the mix. AirPlay and support for Apple services and popular streaming apps round out its role as a general-purpose Apple streamer.
It falls behind the third-generation entries on the supplied specifications: the third-generation models move to A15, add HDR10+, and list 64GB rather than 32GB. The 2017 model also offers 32GB and Dolby Vision, but lists Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 rather than Dolby Atmos; this 2021 device is the better fit for a buyer who prioritizes the Atmos format among these older renewed choices. It does not list HDR10+, so I would not select it over a third-generation model for a TV setup where HDR10+ support is a priority.
The key compromise is its renewed condition and 90-day limited warranty. This is a professionally inspected and tested listing, but that does not make it equivalent to buying new or remove the possibility of a shorter service life. Its supplied connectivity information is also broad—wireless and HDMI—rather than a detailed networking breakdown. I’d consider it for a secondary room or a buyer content with 32GB and Dolby Vision, but the A15 generation is a stronger long-term choice if the added formats and storage are useful.
Pros:- 4K HDR video with Dolby Vision
- Dolby Atmos audio support
- A12 Bionic chip and Siri Remote
- AirPlay and support for Apple services and streaming apps
Cons:- Renewed product with a 90-day limited warranty
- 32GB storage is less than the third-generation 64GB models
- Does not list HDR10+ support
Best for: Buyers looking for a renewed Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, a Siri Remote, and 32GB storage.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want HDR10+, 64GB, the A15 platform, or warranty coverage beyond the stated 90 days.
- Generation:2nd generation, 2021
- Condition:Renewed; professionally inspected and tested
- Storage:32GB
- Processor:A12 Bionic
- Resolution:4K
- Video formats:HDR, Dolby Vision
- Audio:Dolby Atmos
- Warranty:90-day limited warranty
Our verdict“I’d choose this renewed 2021 model over the 2017 unit when Dolby Atmos matters, but the third-generation options offer a newer platform and HDR10+.”
Apple TV 4K 32GB Streaming Media Player (2017, Model A1842, Renewed)
The 2017 A1842 earns a place here for a specific reason: it is the only listing that explicitly includes Gigabit Ethernet. That can matter in a room where Wi-Fi coverage is weak or where a wired network is preferred. It still offers 4K video with Dolby Vision and HDR10, Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 sound, and a Siri Remote with voice search. Its A10X Fusion chip and 32GB storage make it the oldest and lowest-capacity option in this lineup, so its appeal is about a particular connection or setup rather than broad superiority.
Compared with the renewed 2021 model, this device shares the 32GB capacity and Dolby Vision support, but the 2021 listing names Dolby Atmos and a newer A12 chip. The third-generation 64GB products go further with an A15 chip, HDR10+, and twice the listed storage. The A1842 therefore makes the most sense when the Ethernet port is more useful than those newer generation features, or when the buyer has a specific reason to prefer its listed format mix. Buyers should not assume that older hardware will be the best fit for future app or service needs.
This is a renewed, pre-owned product, described as professionally inspected and tested. That may suit a buyer willing to accept used condition, but the supplied product details do not state a warranty period, so I’d confirm coverage and return terms before purchase. It also lacks listed Dolby Atmos support and has half the storage of the 64GB models. I’d keep it at the bottom of the ranking because its Ethernet advantage is useful but narrow, while its age and 32GB capacity affect more buyers.
Pros:- Includes Gigabit Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi
- Supports 4K, Dolby Vision, and HDR10
- Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 audio support
- Siri Remote supports voice search
Cons:- Oldest generation and A10X Fusion processor in this comparison
- 32GB storage is less than the third-generation options
- Renewed condition, with no warranty period stated in the supplied details
Best for: Buyers who specifically need Gigabit Ethernet in an Apple TV 4K and are comfortable with a renewed 2017 device.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want Dolby Atmos, 64GB storage, a newer processor, HDR10+, or a clearly stated warranty.
- Model:A1842
- Generation:2017
- Condition:Renewed
- Storage:32GB
- Processor:A10X Fusion
- Video:3840 x 2160 pixels; Dolby Vision and HDR10
- Audio:Dolby Digital Plus 7.1
- Connectivity:Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI
Our verdict“I’d buy this renewed 2017 model only when its listed Gigabit Ethernet connection is a deciding advantage over newer devices.”
How We Picked
I ranked these devices around what matters when choosing an Apple TV 4K, rather than treating every Apple streaming box as interchangeable. First, I compared the video and audio formats listed for each model. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support can affect compatibility with a buyer’s TV and the formats available to supported content; Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 describe different audio capabilities, so I note them without assuming a buyer owns a matching sound system.
Next, I considered generation and processor as indicators of where each model sits in this particular lineup. The A19 fourth-generation entry and the A15 third-generation models rank ahead of the A12 second-generation unit and A10X 2017 model on the supplied specifications, while I avoid making unsupported claims about exact speed differences. Storage and connectivity also matter: the listed third-generation standard model has 64GB and Wi-Fi, while the 2017 model explicitly lists Gigabit Ethernet and 32GB.
Finally, I treated renewed condition and stated warranty details as genuine tradeoffs, not footnotes. Three entries are identified as renewed, and the 2021 and third-generation renewed listings each specify a 90-day limited warranty. The fourth-generation listing includes a battery requirement that looks unusual for a remote and a surround setup note involving four HomePod speakers; I flag those details rather than smoothing over unclear product information. Since all five are Apple TV 4K devices, the ranking reflects their differences in capabilities, age, and purchase condition, not a claim that any one is right for every room.
| Apple TV 4K device | Processor | Audio | Connectivity | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple TV 4K | A15 Bionic | Dolby Atmos | Wi-Fi | — |
| Apple TV 4K | A19 | Dolby Atmos with Enhance Dialogue | — | — |
| Apple TV 4K | A15 Bionic | Dolby Atmos | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI | Renewed |
| Apple TV 4K | A12 Bionic | Dolby Atmos | — | Renewed; professionally inspected and tested |
| Apple TV 4K 32GB Streaming Med | A10X Fusion | Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 | Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI | Renewed |
Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Apple TV 4K Devices
These five products share the Apple TV 4K name, but they do not make identical buying propositions. I’d choose by matching the device’s video formats, audio setup, network needs, storage, and condition to the room where it will be used. The newer entries rank higher for their stated processor and format support; the renewed older models can still fit specific needs, especially Ethernet or a Dolby Atmos-capable 32GB setup.
Start with your TV’s HDR formats
Check which HDR formats your TV supports before paying attention to a streamer’s full format list. The third-generation models and fourth-generation listing specify both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, while the renewed 2021 device lists Dolby Vision and HDR without HDR10+. The 2017 A1842 lists Dolby Vision and HDR10. A format only helps when the display and content support it, so a buyer whose TV lacks one of these formats should weigh other differences instead of treating the extra label as a guaranteed picture improvement.
Every option here is listed as a 4K streamer, but the generation still matters for the combination of formats and processor named in the specifications. My broad pick is the standard third-generation 64GB model because it pairs Dolby Vision and HDR10+ with the A15 platform. The fourth-generation model claims the same named HDR formats and a newer A19 processor, but its product data leaves out storage and network details. I’d verify those points before choosing it over a more fully specified listing.
Match audio claims to the equipment you own
Dolby Atmos is listed on the fourth-generation, both third-generation, and second-generation devices. The 2017 A1842 instead lists Dolby Digital Plus 7.1. Neither label guarantees a particular experience on its own: compatible content and audio equipment are part of the setup. If the TV speakers are the only audio output, buying specifically for an advanced surround format may not change your day-to-day viewing.
The fourth-generation entry has an extra caveat: its supplied description says a surround-sound setup requires four HomePod speakers. I would not read that as a general requirement for all Atmos playback without confirming what the listing means, but it is a clear point to investigate if surround audio is central to the purchase. For simpler comparison, the A15 models list Dolby Atmos without that same four-HomePod note, while the older 2017 model is the choice to consider only if its stated 7.1 format fits your existing setup.
Decide whether 32GB or 64GB fits your use
The 2017 and renewed 2021 models list 32GB of storage; the standard and renewed third-generation devices each list 64GB. Storage matters most to people who keep a larger set of apps or games installed, though every buyer should avoid assuming that the device is intended to hold a full media library. If your use is mainly a few streaming apps, 32GB may be enough; if you want more room for apps and games, the 64GB listings are the clearer fit.
The fourth-generation listing does not give a storage figure in the supplied specifications. That missing detail makes direct capacity comparison difficult, even though the model is presented as the newest option. I’d confirm capacity before buying it rather than infer it from the generation name. For buyers who want an explicit 64GB specification, the third-generation options are easier to evaluate.
Choose wired or wireless networking for your room
Only the 2017 A1842 explicitly lists Gigabit Ethernet, alongside Wi-Fi and HDMI. That makes it a distinct option for a room with dependable wired networking but inconsistent wireless coverage. The standard third-generation listing specifies Wi-Fi, while the renewed third-generation listing specifies Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI. The fourth-generation product details do not spell out its network connection, so verify that information if a particular connection type is necessary.
For a strong home Wi-Fi network, wired Ethernet may not be a deciding feature. But if the Apple TV will sit far from the router or share a congested network, a listed Ethernet port can be more relevant than moving up a generation. The tradeoff is clear: the one wired-network option is also the oldest device here, with 32GB, an A10X chip, and no listed Dolby Atmos support.
Treat renewed condition as part of the decision
Three products are explicitly renewed: the 2017 A1842, the 2021 second-generation model, and the third-generation 64GB model. Renewed does not mean new, and inspection language does not tell me the full cosmetic condition, battery or accessory state, or seller return policy. The 2021 and third-generation renewed listings each specify a 90-day limited warranty; the 2017 listing says professionally inspected and tested but does not provide a warranty period in the supplied details.
If coverage and condition matter more than a particular feature, compare the renewed listing’s warranty and return terms against the standard third-generation listing before ordering. The renewed A15 device has the strongest stated generation and storage among the renewed options, but the standard third-generation product is my cleaner overall recommendation. I’d choose renewed only when the listed configuration suits the room and the seller’s condition terms are clear enough for my comfort.
Look beyond streaming if you use Apple services or smart-home gear
AirPlay is listed on the standard third-generation and renewed second-generation models, while the third-generation descriptions also mention HomePod integration or compatible smart-home accessories. Thread support is specifically listed for the standard third-generation device. The fourth-generation entry says it can act as a smart-home hub. These features can make a box more useful around an Apple-centered home, but they are not a reason to pay attention if all you need is access to streaming apps.
Remote differences may also shape a choice. The fourth-generation Siri Remote includes Find My, a potentially useful convenience for buyers who misplace remotes. The standard third-generation and renewed third-generation descriptions specify a touch-enabled clickpad, and the 2017 A1842 lists voice search. Pick the remote feature you will actually use; otherwise, picture-format support, wired networking, and renewed condition are more meaningful decision points.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Apple TV 4K is my best overall choice?
I’d choose the standard third-generation Wi-Fi 64GB model for most buyers. It specifies an A15 Bionic chip, 4K with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and 64GB storage, giving it a well-rounded feature set. The fourth-generation listing has a newer stated chip and Find My for its remote, but leaves storage and network details unspecified and includes product information I’d verify before ordering.
Is the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K clearly better than the third-generation model?
The fourth-generation listing names an A19 chip, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Find My for the Siri Remote, and smart-home hub features. Those are meaningful additions for some buyers, but its storage and networking specifications are not supplied, and the listing’s one-A-battery requirement and four-HomePod surround note need clarification. The third-generation 64GB model is easier to evaluate and already covers the main video and audio formats many buyers seek.
Should I buy a renewed Apple TV 4K?
A renewed device can make sense if its generation and features fit your setup and you are comfortable with a pre-owned product. In this comparison, the renewed third-generation listing retains the A15 chip and 64GB storage, while the renewed 2021 and 2017 devices have 32GB and older processors. Check condition, return terms, and warranty information: the renewed 2021 and third-generation listings specify 90-day limited warranties, while the 2017 listing does not state a warranty period in the supplied details.
Which Apple TV 4K supports HDR10+?
The fourth-generation listing and both third-generation listings specify HDR10+ alongside Dolby Vision. The renewed second-generation listing specifies HDR and Dolby Vision but does not list HDR10+, while the 2017 A1842 lists HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Check your TV’s supported formats and the content you watch; a streamer’s format support only helps when the rest of the viewing setup supports the same format.
Which model should I choose if I need Ethernet?
The 2017 A1842 is the only product in this comparison that explicitly lists Gigabit Ethernet. That makes it the clear choice if a wired connection is a firm requirement, but it also has the oldest listed processor, 32GB of storage, renewed condition, and no stated Dolby Atmos support. If you do not need Ethernet, I’d favor a third-generation device for its A15 chip, HDR10+, and 64GB listings.
Conclusion
For a main-room streamer with a broad feature set, I recommend the standard third-generation 64GB Apple TV 4K. Buyers who want the newest listed generation and a remote with Find My can look at the fourth-generation model, but should confirm its missing storage and network details and clarify the unusual product notes. If renewed condition is acceptable, the renewed third-generation 64GB model keeps the A15 platform and lists a 90-day limited warranty.
For a secondary room or a buyer who prioritizes Dolby Vision and Atmos in a renewed 32GB device, the 2021 second-generation model is the better fit than the older A1842. I’d choose the 2017 model only when its Gigabit Ethernet connection is the deciding need. In short, match the device to your TV formats and network first, then decide whether extra storage, smart-home features, and renewed-product terms matter in your household.
