Apple TV (32GB, 4th generation)

Product Information

HomeKit Automation, such as automatic implementation of scenes, multiple user support, and using Siri to control devices, and remote access for shared users or HomeKit-enabled cameras is only possible with a fourth generation Apple TV or later. Velocity is taken into account, too, so a quick swipe will move you faster through a list than a slow swipe. With shared playback controls, including using the Siri Remote, anyone in the SharePlay session can play, pause, or jump ahead.

The model also comes with a thicker, redesigned Siri Remote with a circular touchpad with navigational buttons, as well as power and mute buttons. The remote is compatible with previous generation tvOS-based Apple TVs and ships with an updated SKU of the Apple TV HD. Apple's Remote app on iOS devices allows control of the Apple TV from an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
