Deals are available for various Apple TV boxes, so make sure you’re choosing the one that’s right for you. They’ll all stream content, but they can have different storage specs, Siri remotes and resolution support.
Best Apple TV 4K deals
If you have a 4K TV at home and want to take advantage of it, the Apple TV 4K is for you. The 2022 model that went on sale late last year has an upgraded, modern A15 Bionic chip powering it, HDR10 Plus support, a USB-C Siri Remote and double the storage as standard. It also starts at $129, down from the previous $179 starting price, although you’ll need to spring for the $149 128GB model if you want Ethernet support, which was previously included across the board.
This 2022 Apple TV 4K has been our recommendation among the tech giant’s streaming boxes, as its significant processor jump should provide more longevity.
Although it’s now a generation old, the 2021 Apple TV 4K is still a decent option, especially when you can find it on sale. Unfortunately, it’s getting a little hard to come by since it was discontinued by Apple. We do still see deals pop up occasionally and we’ll update this post as we find them. This model comes in two variations, one with 32GB of storage and the other with 64GB, and it runs Apple’s A12 Bionic chip (similar to what was in 2018’s iPhone XS and XR). It also includes a Siri Remote that charges through Lightning and the Apple TV box itself has Ethernet support as standard.

The 64GB 2021 Apple TV 4K is still available at Amazon and with a discount, although you might be better off choosing a newer model if you want all the latest chips inside.
We’ve seen the Apple TV HD on sale for as little as $59, which was a record-low price for the fifth-gen device and made it a decent option for those wanting to spend the absolute least on an Apple streamer. It’s back up to $120 right now, which isn’t much of a bargain, so you should really get a 4K-capable model if you can spare the extra cash.
If you want to keep your existing Apple TV but despise the remote, you can ditch the somewhat annoying trackpad and upgrade to make the experience better overall. While there are no direct discounts on the USB-C-powered remote right now, you can nab some freebies at Best Buy where a 30-day trial of FuboTV streaming is thrown in, as are three months of Apple TV Plus and four months of both Apple Music and Apple News Plus for new or returning subscribers. Want to pay the very least? You can save a dollar at Amazon but the freebies are probably worth paying the extra at Best Buy.
The advantage to buying a refurbished device directly from Apple is that you can save some cash and you’ll still get a full warranty should any issues arise. Apple’s supply of refurbished Apple TV models fluctuates, with devices dropping as low as $99 at times. You can currently grab the 64GB model for $109 or the 128GB model for $129, and they both offer $20 off.
