Learn how to find out which generation you have: Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

A corresponding model number (A1218/A1378/A1427/A1469/A1625/A1842) can be found on the bottom of the device, and also in Settings﹥General﹥About﹥Model﹥.


The older models (3rd generation and earlier) have no App Store, and no apps can be added to it by the user.
