It's easy to mistake one ATV model for another since they all look alike but this is the old HD model, not 4K. All the specs are way outdated. Do not buy even if you only own HD TVs. Spend the extra $20 for the 2021 ATV 4K.

The 2021 64GB model has a gigabit ethernet port, and it can serve as an apple home hub (thread support). The 2022 64GB model is missing both of those features. I'd rather have the 2021 64GB model than the 2022 64GB model. However, I'd rather have the 2022 128GB model than either of them. It has all the features plus a faster processor and more memory.

First time buyer of Apple TV: I purchased solely to stream movies, shows, and sports from my phone. It fits that perfectly. Setup is super easy. I highly recommend if you have access to pirate sites.

I have constant issues with the Crunchyroll and HiDive app on my Roku Ultra, on a 4K TV. Going to grab on of these and see if it's better.

It seems many anime fans don't actually run 4K TVs as I get a gaggle of "Mine is fine" when I report complaints only to have CR come back and says "Yeah it's a problem with the Ultra when using a 4K TV"
That's just any group of people when you bring up an issue with something they'd rather pretend doesn't exist. It's very frustrating and will literally happen anywhere. Audiophiles, tech geeks, tool bros... Crunchyroll's app is really bad on Android TV/FireTV so I might check it out on my Apple 4k 1st gen too.

Depends on needs. 2022 64GB doesn't have Ethernet port or Thread support. Also the faster processor and extra storage in the 2022 is really of use only for those who play iTunes Store games on their ATV.

So, in my case, as example, I am slowly building out a "smart home" so Thread support is important to me. I also have one ATV hooked directly to my router's satellite, so Ethernet is key too. I don't play games on ATV. So 2021 and saving $20 a box (I'm upgrading 3) makes sense for my situation.

This, I don't need an extra 32GB but gigabit Ethernet is mandatory, especially when playing 4k videos from my Plex server

So right now it's a love hate relationship. The app works great, I love the Apple TV remote. The problem is a LOT of functionality doesn't exist in the Apple TV app. I HATE that it doesn't have the "Your Watchlist" section. With the Roku app it shows me when there is a new episode released, on the Apple TV app you have to go down to the "updated" section and scroll though it and as I'm sure you know "updated" also means when a dub is updated or a new language is added so it's a pain to track down new episodes for the shows you watch.

I find myself opening up the Roku to see if there are new episodes then switch over to Apple TV to actually watch them.

I have a 2018 Apple TV 4k and have been liking it compared to my older Fire Tv. I just bought the 2021 Apple TV 4k to replace the fire tv. I was on the fence if I should pony up the extra $40-50 for the 2022 ethernet model but ultimately figured I'm unlikely to notice a big enough performance difference to justify the 50% more up-front cost.

Have you compared it to the nvidia shield? I have the first gen shield and it's the best streaming device i have. I have firesticks (1st, 2nd, gen; 4k and 4k max verisons also), chromecast, roku, etc. but not an apple tv.
Yeah Nvidia shield tv is still the king just because of the functionality it offers. Apple TV though has great hardware and is a good option for those who just want something that works well and works well with apple ecosystem. Nvidia shield is also more expensive though compared to apple tv

So this 2021 version is on sale from $179 -> $100. But the newest 2022 one that just came out last month starts at $129. Wouldn't that be a better deal?

Not really as the 2022 model is more stripped down.

The new one does HDR10+. If you have a Samsung TV, then that's what you need if you want that standard with an Apple TV.

Otherwise the old one has an ethernet port and does Thread networking (not available at the $129 model for 2022 - for that, you'd have to spend another $20). The old one is overpowered so is good for most people unless you want HDR10+.

For those on the fence about getting the 2021 ATV with the 2022 version just releasing, I went ahead and purchased the 2021 version and have had no issues at all. It runs 4k content perfectly and ice noticed no Ui lag. There is at least one YouTube video showing 2021 v 2022 side by side navigating apps and playing videos and it's very very hard to tell a difference. Gaming you might notice the difference but I don't game on mine so I can't speak to performance and space isn't an issue at all.

I came from a fire stick 4k and a roku ultra 4k and the 2021 Apple tv blows them away performance wise. The fire stick Ui is a dumpster fire of your content squeezed inbetween tons of ads. I doubt I'd ever go back. We used it for a few days and moved on.

The roku ultra 4k performance was fine but the remote broke on me after only a few months (young kid and drops. Just didn't hold up). For $79 I wouldn't even consider it against a $99 ATV.

The Apple tv works amazing. The remote quality is a noticeable step up and more featured. You can set the TV button to go straight to your apps so you never see an ad (this is a big deal when compared to fire TV or roku). Double tapping the TV button brings up a navigation to quickly switch between open apps. Overall the Ui just feels smoother and better designed. Plex loads and navigates faster. The apps aren't shut down when you switch between them, they go into a suspended state, so if you switch between one app and another and then go back the original one will be where you left it instead of back at home. It also has YouTube Kids which is important to me because it allows me to limit the content my kid sees.

The one down side I've noticed is the Spotify app. Its not as good as the roku or the fire stick app. It's a known issue and Spotify issued a statement in April that they were looking into it but no update since then.

Overall unless you really have a need for more storage space or performance for games or really need HDR10+ I wouldn't spend the extra money to get the 2022 ATV. If you get the $129 version you're actually losing features compared to the 2021 version in exchange for the storage and performance. So if you want everything you're paying $149. I have no regrets about getting the 2021 version.
