Apple has removed the Apple TV HD from its online store following the release of the new third-generation Apple TV 4K. The Apple TV HD was first released in 2015 for $149 and has remained in Apple’s lineup up until now as an entry-level option with an upgraded Siri Remote.

But unlike the second-generation Apple TV 4K, the Apple TV HD did not support up to 2160p resolution, nor did it support HDR10 or Dolby Vision. It also didn’t have Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, or Thread support.

The 128GB model of the new third-generation Apple TV 4K, like the Apple TV HD, costs $149 but includes support for all of the above, as well as HDR10+.

Even so, the new 64GB Apple TV 4K, which starts at $129, does not include an Ethernet port or Thread support. The new Apple TV 4K configurations are now available for pre-order, with shipping set to begin on Friday, November 4.
