Streaming devices are quite affordable nowadays, but there are some benefits in opting for a more expensive model, such as the Apple TV 4K. We consider it the best high-end streaming cassette, and at the moment it is on sale for 160 USD, which is one of the best prices we have seen. Amazon has the device for $ 169, but an automatically applied coupon will reduce the price to $ 160 upon completion.

Buy Apple TV 4K from Amazon - 160 USD

Apple has modestly upgraded its set-top box this year, the biggest improvement being the new Siri remote control. The previous remote that came with the Apple TV 4K was difficult to use, but this new model is a huge improvement. It is larger and has a touch-sensitive directional pad, which makes it much easier to swipe and scroll between the contents of the screen. It reminds me of the old iPod wheel and it's a good thing.

If you're familiar with the previous generation Apple TV 4K, you may not notice much of a difference when it comes to performance. The new model has an A12 Bionic chip that helps the gadget run smoothly and we appreciate its support for Dolby Vision at 60 fps, Dolby Atmos sound and AirPlay 3. This model even supports HomeKit, so you can ask Siri to show you things like the camcorder and they will appear right on the TV screen. I also found Siri to be quite useful for executing entertainment commands such as "show me Christmas movies" or "play the latest episode of Ted Lasso."

The biggest downside of the Apple TV 4K is the price - it's normally $ 180, so it's worth waiting for (rare) sales where it drops even a little less than that. But it's by no means the only streaming cassette out there - we also like the Roku Ultra, and while it's not technically a box, the latest Chromecast with Google TV is another solid option that also has an updated remote control. and handy.
