Apple TV

The Apple TV is a small device that connects directly to your personal television with an HDMI cable. It then connects to your WiFi network allowing you to watch movies, shows, and live sports, as well as play games and listen to music. It's like an add-on for your TV that brings what you already have to life with the included remote control and your personal Apple ID. There are two available versions of the Apple TV, which are the regular Apple TV and the Apple TV 4K. The regular Apple TV is available in 32GB, whereas the Apple TV 4K comes in 32GB and 64GB.
