Apple rarely reduces its prices, but if you’re looking to grab the company’s fourth-generation Apple TV for a bargain this is your lucky day — because Apple just added refurbished TV 4 models to its online store.
The basic 32GB set-top box will set you back $129, which represents a saving of $20 from the regular price of $149. The 64GB model, meanwhile, carries a price tag of $169, which equals $30 off the normal $199.
While these aren’t the best Apple TV prices around (try RadioShack!), it’s the best that you’ll find for now if you want to buy directly from Apple.
The surprisingly-repairable Apple TV 4 started shipping at the end of October last year. Among its much-touted features are an advanced touchpad remote control, Siri integration, and its own dedicated App Store.
Yesterday Apple released tvOS 9.1.1, adding the ability for Apple TV owners to play podcasts on the big screen, along with a number of bug fixes and performance improvements. The upcoming tvOS 9.2 will further improve the package with the inclusion of channel folders, Bluetooth keyboard support, an improved app switcher, and far more.
