Apple TV 4K (2026) review: Apple TV 4K is a compact, hockey puck-sized streaming box
Apple’s fourth-generation Apple TV 4K starts shipping four years after its predecessor. Quite a gap for Apple’s hobby box.
As a streaming box, it already does quite a bit, and many new features can simply be delivered via software updates. Still, there was a growing list of requests from users, and I’m happy to see that Apple (mostly) listened to those requests.
