At the same time that Apple announced the new iPad product in mid-October this year, it also brought the third-generation Apple TV 4K, which was replaced with a new A15 Bionic processor, which doubled the capacity and lowered the price. However, it was recently discovered that there was a problem with the tvOS 16.1 system. Half of the capacity of the 128GB version of the third-generation Apple TV 4K cannot be used, and there are some small mysteries in the processor specifications.
Foreign media FlatpanelsHD recently conducted a real test on the third-generation Apple TV 4K, and found that the 128GB version of the third-generation Apple TV 4K in their hands, after the storage space reaches 64GB, the system will display a prompt that the capacity is full, and will not allow Users continue to install programs, and it appears that tvOS is mistaking the 128GB device for a 64GB version, but even the latest tvOS 16.2 beta has this problem.
In addition, FlatpanelsHD also mentioned that it uses the same A15 Bionic processor as the iPhone 14, but the third-generation Apple TV 4K has one less core on the CPU. Even so, the actual measurement of the third-generation Apple TV 4K still brings an improvement over the previous generation. 40% performance score, and the processor is less throttling, and the performance is more stable than the previous generation products using A12.
