The Apple TV 4K is one of the best ways to stream content you can buy today, but it is also one of the most expensive. You do get plenty for your money, however, with an App Store full of games and apps beyond the usual Netflix and Disney Plus. But there are sometimes ways to save a few dollars here and there if you know where to look. And we’ve done the looking so that you don’t have to. Right now the deals are more about free services thrown in or clever tax-saving deals rather than cold, hard discounts, however.
Apple’s 2022 Apple TV 4K was unveiled last fall, and it looks mostly the same as its predecessors — however, don’t let the exterior fool you. It’s undergone some significant changes internally. The new device is powered by Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, for up to 50% faster CPU performance and up to 30% faster graphics compared with the 2021 model. Plus, Apple TV 4K now supports HDR10 Plus, in addition to Dolby Vision, for a more detailed picture.
The base model now offers 64GB of internal storage, up from 32GB previously, and retails for $129 — down from $179. If you want a wired Ethernet port, something previously included in the base-spec Apple TV 4K, you’ll need to go for the $149 model, though you’ll also get 128GB of storage for that price.
