This article will show you the storage options for each Apple TV model and how the different capacities affect the price. It will also tell you what the Apple TV does with its storage and whether it’s worth getting the larger option.

If you only use a few apps, play a handful of games, and occasionally watch movies on your Apple TV, the lowest-capacity option is probably your best bet. If you want near-instant access to your music or photo library, you'll want to opt for the larger-capacity model, which should provide better results if you have bandwidth constraints.

If you expect to be playing a lot of games and using all the other useful features, such as news and current affairs apps, it makes sense to consider spending the extra money on a 64GB model. Likewise, if you want the best possible performance, the larger capacity model will deliver this most consistently, especially if you're a power user.

In most cases, the decision on which size to buy will depend on how intensively you plan to use Apple's streaming solution. However, Apple may offer new and interesting services in the future that require a higher-capacity device.
