Choosing the right Apple TV for you is pretty simple. They’ll all stream the same content, but they have different storage specs, Siri remotes and resolution support. Unfortunately, some of the older models are becoming increasingly difficult to find, but they can be good options if you can find one in stock and are looking to save a few dollars. We’ll be updating this list of deals as prices change and stocks fluctuate, so be sure to check back if you don’t see the right deal for you just yet.
Best Apple TV 4K deals
If you have a 4K TV and want to take full advantage, the Apple TV 4K is for you. The 2022 model that went on sale late last year has an upgraded A15 Bionic chip, HDR10 Plus support, a USB-C Siri Remote and double the storage of the standard model.
This 2022 Apple TV 4K has been our recommendation among the tech giant’s streaming boxes, as its significant processor upgrade 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 with either 32GB or 64GB of storage, 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 via a Lightning port, and the Apple TV box itself has Ethernet support as standard.

The 64GB 2021 Apple TV 4K is still available at Amazon although there’s currently no discount. You might be better off choosing a newer model if you want 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 as little as possible on an Apple streamer. Right now the Apple TV HD is unavailable and there’s no telling whether that situation will change, unfortunately.
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 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 the extra at Best Buy.
The advantage of 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. However, Apple doesn’t have any refurbished Apple TV devices currently.
