These latest 3rd gen 4K models come on a specific tvOS version (16.6) that is compatible with a software called TrollStore, which is essentially unlimited sideloading. I've loaded a few streaming apps on mine and it's awesome! Very rare these days to see anything jailbreak-esk available on current hardware much less from the factory! And for $100, this is a better streamer than my Fire Stick 4K (obviously) but also personally more enjoyable than I think an Nvidia shield would be. For me, all the ATV was missing was sideloading. I'm into the Apple ecosystem pretty deep too so this is the ultimate streaming machine for me.
Sideloading = installing an app without going through an "official" app store like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Trollstore = an unofficial app store that allows you to install apps that are not in the Apple App Store.

There's usually a lot of tutorials for these things on YouTube or Reddit

Grabbed another 128GB one! Thanks!

I'm glad my local Sam's was out of the $99 64GB model

Could you briefly go into what TrollStore & SideLoading is? Total noob looking to buy one of these.

Since the 4K doesn't have usb, how do you sideload?

Google "trollstore Apple TV" and you'll find their GitHub page with instructions. If you don't have an Apple TV with tvOS 16.6 or lower, you'd need to hope the Apple TV you buy is 16.6 or lower.
