Apple at the moment provides two Apple TV fashions: A 4K Apple TV with an A12 Bionic chip that begins at $179 and an HD Apple TV with a ridiculously outdated A8 chip that begins at $149.

Apple clearly must launch a less expensive mannequin to interchange this one, however I’ll cowl that in one other story.
