How to choose between Apple TV 4K: 64GB vs 128GB?

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

More storage means you can fit more apps and games. Games specially can be very large and eat up the storage space quickly.


If you don't think you'll have a ton of Apps or games, then 64GB should be fine.


With that said, it's always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Storage cannot be modified after purchase.

While they are advertised as “Wi-Fi” vs. “Wi-Fi + Ethernet”, one of the more important distinctions is that the top model of the 4K (3rd generation) line can also act as a Thread Border Router for any home automation devices (HomeKit/​Matter). The Wi-Fi only model lacks that capability, and will only passthrough home automation signals coming from classic Wi-Fi and bluetooth, instead of the modern Thread network too.
