As part of the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, Amazon is offering $70 off the current generation Apple TV 4K media streaming device. That means the 32GB model is $109 ($179 MSRP) and the 64GB model is $129 ($199 MSRP). Those are the best prices we’ve seen on the new Apple TV and matches what we saw on Amazon Prime Day back in July.
Note that this deal requires an Amazon Prime membership. Make sure you’re logged into your Amazon Prime account. If you do not have Prime and you don’t want to pay for an annual fee, then just pay for the 1-month membership for $14.99.
Amazon Prime Early Access Deal: Newest Apple TV 4K Starting From $109.99
There is certainly no lack of 4K media streaming devices out there for you to choose from and it might be confusing for someone to figure out which one is the best. Well let’s be clear right off the bat that the Apple TV stands atop the heap as one of the best, if not the best media streamers available, doubly so if you already own an iPhone or iPad.
Why is the Apple TV so great?
For starters, it supports a huge range of apps. That 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 are exclusive to Apple devices.
The Apple TV hardware is also top shelf. It’s powered by an Apple A12 Bionic CPU that’s capable of handling 4K HDR video paired with Dolby Atmos audio without a hitch. You’re not gimped on storage space either; even the lesser 32GB model puts other media streamers to shame. For example, the Amazon Fire TV (any model) includes only 8GB of storage, Roku doesn’t include any internal storage, and the NVIDIA Shield Pro comes closest with 16GB.
The new and improved Siri remote is amazing. It’s head over heels superior to the previous generation black remote. Not only is the build quality better, but there are a few quality-of-life enhancements such as a 5-way clickpad, mute button, and dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV. They might sound like little upgrades, but they make a wold of difference in convenience and usability.
The Apple TV is a cinch to install. That’s especially true if you already own an Apple device like an iPhone or iPad since you won’t need any additional setup to mirror your Apple TV content to your iPhone or iPad or vice versa. You’ll be able to swap videos, movies, music, images, 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 quite a few people will find this functionality extremely practical.
