Known quirks
- 1080p max — no 4K support ever, and that's the hard ceiling
- Last Apple TV with a 30-pin connector (pre-2013 A1427 rev)
- No App Store; channels added via Apple's curated list only
- Got pulled from sale in 2016; still works with iTunes-store rentals
- The go-to used-market option for simple AirPlay to old TVs
