The Apple TV is one of the least valued products in the Apple environment despite its enormous possibilities, the little magic box has immense possibilities when it comes to consuming multimedia content and even having fun playing, however, the arrival of Smart TV every More powerful and more refined, buying an Apple TV has been relegated to very regular users of the brand. Be that as it may, this small device from the Cupertino company continues to harbor a few surprises to this day. A Lightning connector has been discovered on the Apple TV 4K that could be related to software maintenance tasks, especially for technical service.
It should be noted that it is not excessively surprising either, and it is that the previous editions of Apple TV already came with some other hidden connection, more specifically a microUSB or a USB-C, a strange move by the Cupertino company, since these two connections have not been used in any of its devices natively as connection elements, beyond the MacBook or now the iPad Pro range. Be that as it may, the Apple 4K TV also has its secrets, and it is that so many years later Apple has decided to be a bit consistent with its policy of physical connections.

By this I mean that including a Lightning as a connection mechanism for technical service is more consistent. This Lighning port is hidden at the top of the dedicated RJ45 or Ethernet connection. If we slightly lower the protective plastic is when we find that Lighning port that attracts so much attention. However, I do not recommend at all that you start to dissect your Apple TV 4K, please, since these ports are dedicated to Apple's technical service and you will be able to do little or nothing with it, unless you are a developer, of course.
