Overview

The 2021 Apple TV HD (model MHY93CL/A) brings Apple's signature streaming experience to your living room in crisp 1080p Full HD resolution. Powered by the Apple A8 chip, it handles app launches, menu navigation, and content playback with a fluid responsiveness that makes browsing through streaming services feel effortless. The device supports Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround sound, delivering rich, room-filling audio when paired with a compatible sound system or soundbar. With 32GB of onboard storage, there is ample space to download apps from the App Store, play games through Apple Arcade, and access workouts via Apple Fitness+.

The included Siri Remote with its touch-enabled clickpad elevates the user experience, allowing you to swipe through menus, scrub through video timelines, and use voice commands to search for content across multiple apps simultaneously. AirPlay support makes it simple to mirror your iPhone, iPad, or Mac screen directly to your TV, or stream photos and videos wirelessly. While the Apple TV HD is at its best within the Apple ecosystem — seamlessly connecting with iCloud photos, Apple Music, and HomeKit smart home devices — it also provides access to all major third-party streaming services including Disney+, Prime Video, HBO Max, and more.
