Apple's budget-conscious streaming box outputs through a single HDMI 1.4 connector at 10Gbps, supporting 1080p streaming and basic 4K passthrough without Full Range capability. The Gigabit Ethernet port is the real standout for this segment—fast app loading and reliable HomeKit hub stability without Wi-Fi congestion creating bottlenecks. The USB-C charging connector is service-only, so external storage isn't an option. Below is the complete port list.
1080p SDR streaming media player with HDMI 1.4 output, built-in 10/100 Fast Ethernet, USB-C diagnostic port, and IEC C8 figure-8 power inlet. Supports Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround sound and HDMI CEC.
