The latest tvOS 16.1.1 solves the problem that the high-end Apple TV 4K capacity is directly cut in half

As the latest wave of Apple hardware products, it is quite surprising that the new product Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is very honest in terms of price and specifications. It not only jumps directly to the A15 SoC, but also makes everyone look forward to how powerful this unexpectedly updated TV box can deliver. It’s more and more like buying a video game console XD. Because of the Ethernet port and Thread technology protocol support and the price difference is not big, choose the high-end version with double the capacity to 128GB.

However, foreign users who have just bought recently discovered that the model they actually bought only uses 64GB, but it shows the capacity as full and does not allow installing new applications. Fortunately, Apple didn’t let this embarrassing situation last too long. Because the latest tvOS 16.1.1 solves the problem that the high-end Apple TV 4K capability is directly cut in half.

It must be said that it is cheaper than the 32GB version of the previous generation, and the price of the high-end model is only NT $ 500. I believe that friends who will consider buying an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) in this wave will not hesitate to choose the 128GB version with a larger capacity but cheaper than the previous generation. However, recently this TV box, which feels that its performance is close to that of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus and is especially suitable for playing games, was actually tested by foreign media and found that there is a “you can see it but not eat it” capacity problem – that is, only 64GB can be used…

Although Apple did not explain what happened, it is generally believed that this should only be caused by a fault in the system. And soon, the official also confirmed that in the tvOS 16.1.1 update released today, it officially provides a correction to the problem that the 128GB version of Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) may encounter a capacity that cannot be access correctly.

Speaking of which, if the media evaluation doesn’t require it, I think that for most users, they shouldn’t have used more than 64GB. So maybe wait for the auto-update reminder before installing the tvOS update. But if you feel that you may have to use the capacity of this TV box heavily, or if you are friends who have been unable to use Apple TV 4K for a long time because of this bug. You can choose to enter the settings from the tvOS main screen, and then go to the software update in the system option, and choose update to upgrade your Apple TV to the latest version.

The new generation Apple TV 4K is not only upgraded to the A15 Bionic chip, but also adds HDR10 + display support. As for small details, except that it is no longer equipped with active cooling fans and saves 30% of power. Apple also switched to USB-C charging for the Siri Remote, which has a touch-sensitive trackpad. Recently, Apple TV 4K and iPad Pro including iPad 10 and M2 have passed the NCC certification, and it seems that they are almost ready to go on sale in Taiwan!
