What happened
Apple's refurbished 64GB Apple TV 4K is $169 ($30 off new), and the 128GB Ethernet model is $209 ($40 off).
Apple's refurbished Apple TV 4K 64GB model is selling for $169, which is $30 below the current new retail price of $199. The upgraded 128GB model with an Ethernet port is discounted to $209, a $40 discount from full price. Both units are close to like-new condition and carry the same one-year warranty as new products.
In June 2026, Apple raised the Apple TV price from $129 to $199 amid a memory and storage shortage driven by AI companies buying up RAM and SSDs for data centers. The RAM shortage is expected to linger for years, making the discounted refurbished unit more attractive now than at any point in recent memory.
The third-generation Apple TV 4K, launched in 2022, supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 Plus, Siri, and can act as a HomeKit hub — only the Ethernet model supports Thread. With Apple Arcade, the device doubles as a mini gaming console when paired with a Bluetooth controller like the PlayStation 5 DualSense.
The Verge also flagged three side deals worth watching: an Energizer 3-in-1 15W magnetic charger half off to $20 at Best Buy, a Ring Doorbell 2K + Indoor Cam bundle at $60 (usually $140) at Best Buy, and a Vizio 4.1 soundbar at $100.80 (usually $168) at Walmart.
What's in the box
