It’s a little early, but this Amazon Prime Day deal deserves a mention; the Apple TV 4K has just reached its lowest price ever. There is no shortage of 4K media streaming devices to choose from and it can be confusing for someone to figure out which one is the best. Well, let’s be clear from the start that the Apple TV is at the top of the pile as one of the best, if not the best media players available, doubly so if you already have an iPhone or iPad.
$ 70 off the latest Apple TV 4K
There’s only one downside to the Apple TV compared to its competitors, and that’s the price. The current Apple TV 4K is priced at $ 179.99 for the 32GB model and $ 199.99 for the 64GB model. I’m not saying the price isn’t justified, but that’s a higher price when other playback devices can cost less than $ 50. Fortunately, today’s deal makes this less of a problem. Amazon offers a fixed price of $ 70 off both 32GB and 64GB models. It’s a substantial 39% off the 32GB model, but even better, this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the new Apple TV. It’s significantly cheaper than what we saw on Black Friday and will probably be the lowest price until it arrives next Black Friday.
Apple TV 4K 2021
Why is the Apple TV such a fantastic media player? For starters, it supports a wide variety of applications. This includes video apps like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney +, Paramount + and, of course, original Apple TV movies and TV shows, as well as music apps like Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music and TIDAL. Apple TV also gives you access to Apple Arcade games that you wouldn’t normally be able to play on a non-Apple device.
Apple TV hardware is also the top shelf. It is powered by an Apple A12 Bionic CPU that is capable of handling 4K HDR video combined with Dolby Atmos audio without any issues. You also don’t have storage space; even the smaller 32GB model makes other media streamers embarrassing. For example, the Amazon Fire TV (any model) includes only 8 GB of storage, Roku does not include any internal storage, and NVIDIA Shield Pro comes with 16 GB.
The current generation model also has a new and improved Siri remote that is far superior to the previous generation black remote. Not only is build quality better, but there are some quality of life improvements, such as a 5-way neck, mute button, and a dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV . They may look like small upgrades, but they make a big difference in convenience and usability.
Finally, the Apple TV is easy to install, especially if you already have an Apple device such as an iPhone or iPad. Even better, you won’t need any additional settings to mirror the contents of your Apple TV to your iPhone or iPad or vice versa. You can share videos, movies, music, pictures, and browser content using Apple’s proprietary AirPlay wireless connection. And since the iPhone is the most popular phone on the market right now, it’s safe to say that many people will find this functionality extremely handy.
