Some 128GB 4K Apple TVs act like they have 64GB, but you don’t have to worry

Something tells me that the Apple Park offices need to work quickly to resolve this issue. It looks like some of the new Apple TV 4K models with 128GB of space only recognize half of this storage in some situationsso they behave as if they only have 64 GB.

Some Internet users commented on it on Anglo-Saxon social networks, which ended up being reflected in certain media. The specific issue occurs when users try to install any app or game, and suddenly the low free space alert pops up. You think you’ve already filled up those 128 GB, but the reality is that you’ve only filled around 64. However, tvOS thinks all available storage is already used. This even happens in the tvOS 16.2 beta.

It’s not the chip, it’s the system (and that’s good news)

Considering that it’s difficult to fill an Apple TV’s storage with apps from content streaming services, this will only affect people who have downloaded games that require a lot of space (likely Apple Arcade subscribers).

What to do before that? Well, wait. The good news about this is that it’s not a problem of

Material, so in Cupertino they have to work to include a solution in the next software update. From FlatPanelsHD they also comment on another solution: launch many application downloads at the same time until the 64 GB of occupied space is exceeded. It seems that this way tvOS starts to recognize the total limit.
