Released back in October 2015, the Apple TV 4th Generation features an App Store, Siri and tvOS software. To add more excitement, Apple has released the second beta of tvOS 9.2 with support for Bluetooth keyboards, app folders. The beta version also boasts a refreshed look and feel for the App Switcher interface, MapKit and additional Siri languages.

Featured with a Lightning connector, the Apple TV 4 includes a rechargeable battery, which has the capability to deliver battery life for over one month on a single charge.
Capable of finding a movie or show through voice technology, the Apple TV 4 includes support for Siri. The dual microphones with noise cancelling technology enable Siri to listen to your voice clearly even though there are disturbances in your room.
With support for HDMI, the Apple TV 4 comes with 802.11ac Wi‑Fi with MIMO, 10/100BASE-T Ethernet including USB-C port, which enables quick charging.
