Apple has released plans to lower the price and upgrade the Apple TV 4K on November 4th, providing considerable value over the current model.
The 2022 Apple TV 4K with 128gb of storage and A15 processor retails for $249, compared to $279 for the 2021 model with 64gb of storage and A12 processor.
The 2022 Apple TV 4K with 64gb of storage and A15 processor, but without ethernet port, retails for $219, compared to $249 for the 2021 model with 32gb of storage and A12 processor with ethernet port included.

Yes, this will be the new RRP for these models, however as these models seemed to offer value over the current models in terms of both price and features, I thought it was worth posting. Certainly, do not buy the previous models at RRP if you're looking at buying an Apple TV 4K before November 4th.

Available from 4 November.

      It's $30 cheaper with upgraded processor and storage compared to what it was yesterday.

          RRP is currently the prices outlined above for the previous models. The deal is the upcoming reduction in price and added features in comparison.

      It is if the current models are still on sale with less features and for $30 more than the upcoming model.

      Did you upvote this Xbox RRP deal only a couple of hours ago?

      • mr_me450 on 19/10/2022 - 12:06
        +4

        Exactly. The Xbox deal is the same price it has always been with the same features, this is a reduction in price and with an upgrade in features, so I don't see how they are comparable.

        • ozdesi on 19/10/2022 - 12:12
          -4

          What features compared to last model? It doesnt have ethernet port as you say in 64gb base model now. It still does 4k streaming. What feature was made possible with processor upgrade?

          General availability shouldn't be an issue like Xbox that has different use.

          Cheaper price is indicative of feature removal if anything.

          • mr_me450 on 19/10/2022 - 12:17
            +11

            @ozdesi: Are you trying to argue that a more powerful processor and twice the storage does not constitute a feature upgrade? Or there is not value in those upgrades over the current models when the price is $30 less? Interesting take.

            • ozdesi on 19/10/2022 - 20:43

              @mr_me450: Hardware upgrade does not necessarily make the usage of the streaming device better. If processor upgrade and double storage in a streaming device adds value then Apple has managed to market this very well with annual iterations. Since they got 4k streaming this is third iteration without impactful change enough to upgrade.
              If anything fabricating only latest processors is cheaper overall than having a range of them. Intel has successfully relied on these savings for years that Apple is trying to do with no real feature upgrade apart from just hardware. Apple is known for unified experience as a brand.

    I mean i get what you are trying to do here with the price comparisons, but this really just comes off as an advertisement for the new Apple TV.

    Btw thanks I didn't know they released a new one. I'll look into it.

    • mr_me450 on 19/10/2022 - 11:39
      +14

      Wouldn't have posted if it was only a feature upgrade but the price drop makes it deal worthy for me. These new models are not on sale yet so if you were to go into a store looking for an Apple TV today you are by no means getting the best deal available considering the upcoming price drop and feature upgrades.

      • MrMoo on 19/10/2022 - 11:49
        +5

        Yes that is true, you are saving anyone who would be buying one very soon some money and in most cases price drops do not occur with new products so these posts won't pop up for new phones or new ipads.

        My Yamaha receiver does lossless via Airplay? If you expect to hear the benefits of lossless presumably you have a receiver anyway, your TV speakers or sound bar will be weaker than the default 256kbps AAC encoding.

        • bargainhunter on 19/10/2022 - 13:18

          I was trying to listen to atmos music through a pioneer receiver. Airplay to the TV or Pioneer or the TV app itself all played as Dolby Surround according to the receiver. I don't know if the older model iphone 8+ is the problem with Airplay.

      Sony says the official power rating of a PlayStation 5 Disc Edition console is 350 Watts. PS5 would draw around 90 Watts for Netflix, and 50 Watts just when it's idle or navigating the home screen (1.5 Watts in stand by mode which is not what you're interested, but JFYI).

      As per Apple's environmental report, Apple TV 4k draws about 3.52 Watts when streaming 4K HDR movies (0.47W when in sleep/standby mode).

      It depends on what you want to do.

      Apple TV has a much better selection of apps compared to webOS (LG) and PS5.

      The Plex client on Apple TV is far superior to webOS and PS5 too.

      A better all-rounder device is an NVIDIA Shield however.

    • jazzninja on 19/10/2022 - 18:30

      If you have other Apple products, there are other advantages. You can control playback with your AirPods and enter search text with your iPhone.

    Should be a good upgrade. The previous Apple TV 4K could just barely play a lossless 4K blu ray rip, so this new one should be able to do it with some processing room to spare.

      I have the first gen (2017) Apple TV 4K and it plays UHD/4K Blu-ray rips no problem over ethernet. There must be something wrong with your network. Are you trying to play your rips over WiFi? Because some UHD rips will have scenes where the bitrate can jump to 150Mbps, which not even 10/100 ethernet can handle, so gigabit is a necessity.

      It’s not hate, it’s pointing out that a new model at a lower RRP than the previous model is not a bargain. If we applied the same logic to other products (TVs, cars etc) if would be ridiculous.

      Edit: it’s also worth noting that the price cut includes the removal of functionality, so is not comparing like for like at all.

      • mr_me450 on 19/10/2022 - 16:09

        It does not include removal of functionality. At the very least, if you want the ethernet port and threading, then you would be paying the same price for the higher end model as the current lower end model, which includes both those things plus 4 times the storage and a 50% faster processor. If you already wanted the previous higher end model you're also saving $30.

If you buy today or up to November 4 in stores you will spend $30 more for a less powerful device with less storage, if you view this deal and wait or pre-order the new model you save money and get a better device.
