The new Apple TV 4K hasn't even launched yet, but Amazon is already offering a small $4 discount on the streaming device as a pre-order deal. You can get the 64GB Wi-Fi model for $124.99 when pre-ordering, down from $129.00.

While not a massive discount, this is still a notable deal given it's the first pre-order discount on the 2022 Apple TV 4K. We don't expect much steeper discounts than this to come out any time soon; for those types of deals you'll need to shop for the 2021 models, which are as low as $99.99 today on Amazon.
The Apple TV 4K will launch on November 4, along with the 128GB Wi-Fi + Ethernet model, which is not seeing a pre-order discount on Amazon.

I ordered the 128GB model.
I noticed that things load quicker with the Ethernet, and I think this has more to do with latency than download speeds.
There is an app called Coubicle TV, it basically plays 10 looped video memes. The playback automatically loops once, and moves on to the next "coub". You can also skip forward and back, or repeat one forever. Anyways, I noticed when I use the app on my ATVs that use Wifi, it takes longer for the new clips to load if I am browsing, skipping to one after next. This doesn't happen at all on the ATVs connected with Ethernet.
Probably not enough to get people to use Ethernet, but I do notice a difference.
For real time uses, like Steamlink or even AirPlaying, I think the difference is a lot more noticeable. If someone does a lot of real time tasks with their ATV, it might be worth looking into using ethernet.
