Additional app storage and the ability to store/download media in apps that support it.

From my (admittedly now hazy) understanding, everything in Apple TV land is supposed to be purgeable. So nothing should stop working on a 32 GB Apple TV unless it for whatever reason needs 64 GB of data on disk. This will of course mean that the 64 GB model is faster in caching scenarios, but it’s IMO an unnecessarily complex decision for an already expensive product in the space ($179 for 32GB!)

It's for games, apple tv supports a lot of games that are modified for the large form factor and can get quite large(like crossy road)

How many apps will I have to install to run out of space on my 32GB Apple TV? Curious how many people this has actually happened to...

Now, with Apple Arcade, it is very easy to run out of space. It made no sense at the beginning, though.

Maybe it's there in case you run out of swap for Electron apps.
