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.

    Be aware, the 64GB version doesn't come with Thread (which is very important for smart home setup), nor an ethernet port (don't think this is important anyway).
    which is very different to the previous model.

    Previous model spec: https://support.apple.com/kb/SP845?viewlocale=en_US&locale=e…
    Current model spec: https://www.apple.com/au/apple-tv-4k/specs/

        And they charge $30 extra for this and extras 64G of storage…
        wtf am I gonna do with 128G of storage in Apple TV… If I want to play games I have switch and PC (or if you have PS5/Xbox)

        • Skullytor on 19/10/2022 - 13:15

          I might bite and get a 2nd Apple TV if the now-previous model goes down to about $160. Nothing I do on the Apple TV warrants a high CPU. I just do film/TV streaming.

          • timliu1996 on 19/10/2022 - 13:26

            @Skullytor: You're actually right, comparing previous model to this new 128G ones, the only differences are:
            * USB-C port for remote minus charging cable (they took out the charging cable as well)
            * less storage (I only stream anyway)
            * HDR10+
            * better CPU
            * lighter due to fan removed (who even cares about the weight of a TV box sits on TV cabinet that no one ever moves…)

            • Skullytor on 19/10/2022 - 14:34

              @timliu1996: I hate it how they take out cables. Costs them maybe a few bucks to make but then sell it for $20+
              And I don't buy this environmental waste stuff - people don't throw out lightning cables - they use them.

      • ozdesi on 19/10/2022 - 22:40

        and is $50 more expensive than 2021 base model with ethernet. You are now compelled to buy higher model to get ethernet.

    Its not a deal as others have said but I won't downvote as the info was useful to me.
    I think its time to keep an eye on retailers for runnout pricing on the old apple TV. That is how I got mine last year

    This pricing is heading in the right direction;
    https://www.amazon.com.au/2021-Apple-32GB-5th-Generation/dp/…

    • harshbdmmaster718 on 19/10/2022 - 16:08

      So 2021 32GB is $199. And I found 64GB is $219.
      So the 64GB 2021 is $219 and the 128GB 2022 is $249. So you are still paying more.
      I think it makes sense if you wait to get the 64GB 2022 instead of the 64GB 2021 since they are the same price $219.

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

        I am hoping there will be a sale like last time. Where they dropped to around $170 (run-out models)

        • harshbdmmaster718 on 19/10/2022 - 18:49

          I have the original 4K 32GB and I think I paid $159 back when it went on sale.
          If you are using it just for streaming you don't really need that much storage. You can't really copy anything like videos onto the Apple TV, so the only reason you need more storage is if you have tonnes of Apps or install and play games on it. I only have a few apps installed they don't even fill up the home screen.

          Some comments here are saying the 2022 128GB model with ethernet port is necessary for local streaming ultra high quality video like 4K bluray quality video files. But the 128GB of storage is not really necessary IMO. To save some money I would just wait for the previous 2021 4K models to drop in price which have ethernet port on all storage models as well.
          So I agree with waiting for a sale for under $170 2021 4K model.

          • Skullytor on 19/10/2022 - 18:57

            @harshbdmmaster718: $159? JB HI-FI? Maybe thats the deal I got, cant remember

            • harshbdmmaster718 on 19/10/2022 - 19:09

              @Skullytor: Yeah I think I price matched JB HiFi price at The Good Guys. It was for 2017 32GB 4K model quite a long time ago I think, not the 2021 4K model.

    If you can hold out for another month, Apple should be offering a $70 Apple GC with this purchase (as part of Black Friday sales). See 2020 and 2021. Stack with the occasional Apple GC deal from Colesworth/Big W, and the deal gets even sweeter :)

    I like how this effectively equates to a price drop on Apple TV, yet OP is getting slammed for sharing. Their rationale makes sense; if you are in the market for an Apple TV and jump on Amazon right now, you're paying more money for a technically inferior product (though you could argue about the exclusion of ethernet on the base model). Then a few posts below there's a post for the Xbox Series X, a near two-year-old product, at RRP with 200+ upvotes.

      People don't want Ozbargain turning into a place for new tech announcements, which is literally what this so called deal is.
      If someone does so little research that they would go straight to amazon and hit buy then what makes you think they will think let me check Ozbargain first?

      Googling "Apple TV 4k" has news articles at the top of the pate showing a new Apple TV have been announced at a lower price. zero need for this to be posted here.

    For those looking, the new base 64GB does not have Thread support (if that's important to you for your smart home) and Ethernet port that the previous gen had. The 128GB model retains both of these features.

    In the US the 128GB is now the price of the old 32GB base model while the new 64GB model is even cheaper, which makes this a pretty significant price drop from the previous gen. Unfortunately price adjustments due to exchange rate means we don't get as significant a price drop.

    I'd wait a few extra weeks for Black Friday as Apple has been doing bonus Apple Gift Cards the past few years too.

    • checkingthisout on 19/10/2022 - 13:30

      The problem with the current neg system is that you’re forced to comment.

      If you could just down vote and not comment. You down vote. You move on. It would stop a lot of these basically useless comments from being made. They don’t add anything of value.

      • Axelstrife on 19/10/2022 - 14:01

        That would allow people to spam neg votes without anyone having the ability to report the comment/neg vote as invalid.

        They need to remove the ability for neg votes on comments to remove valid neg votes.

      Compared to the last model it's the A15 processor (same as iPhone 14), compared to the A12 which is now 3 years old. Memory has been doubled for each price point, plus those prices reduced by $30. If you're upgrading from the 3rd gen Apple TV you'll get a much faster processor and graphics, 4K TV output with Dolby Vison, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, better Wifi and bluetooth, plus thread networking with the 128gb model.

  • kungfuman on 19/10/2022 - 15:56

  • GreenRomeo on 19/10/2022 - 17:28

    I don't get the hate for RRP (or it's for Apple?) either. Also mods can confirm, but I think those who keep saying 'post in forums' just don't know, or don't want to know, that the majority of visitors just visit the front page and hardly go to forums to find posts about PSAs or RRPs.

    Anyway, I just wonder if it's worth adding the tag [RRP] to this deal and similar ones, so that the 'purists' can just filter them out, like they could with the [SUBS].

      • Chmmr on 20/10/2022 - 22:36

        An ethernet jack should be built into either model. It's a standard for reliability. You shouldn't have to pay more just to have one.

  • xtommyk on 20/10/2022 - 08:35

    • mr_me450 on 20/10/2022 - 11:00

      I feel like if you have the 2021 version there's not real need for an upgrade at this time. If you have found any graphically intense games on the app store that you're playing then you might see some benefit, but for streaming I don't think you would notice any difference at this stage.

      • outsideworld on 20/10/2022 - 11:42

        Thanks - will wait for M chip ATV!

        • ozdesi on 21/10/2022 - 00:18

          You don't need super SoC performance like you say M series chip, with current chips providing more than enough power for a smooth UI experience.
          It's actual bit streaming where M series chip can play a role in enabling new audio video decoders for smoother playback and possibly enable 8k streaming provided you get features like dual LAN ports on higher models for aggregated bandwidth or supporting 10GbE. Then more storage for buffering the stream makes a whole lot of sense.
          This does require lightning speed reasonably priced under $100 per month internet unheard of in Australia, but possible in NZ.

          For casual gaming 2022 model does provide more power but for any serious gaming you will likely be using a different device.

    But this post in particular I like. Android boxes are a huge market and a lot of users here including myself have a high interest in them.

    Because you listed a detailed and easy-to-absorb comparison within your post, made me glad to read it. Thanks, OP!
