Be aware that Gen2 devices will have increasing limited app support. (I recently replaced my parent’s Apple TV because the main app they use was updated and no longer supported it.)
Costco had 3rd gen 64GB for $100 before Thanksgiving
I got 3rd gen 128gb for $100 from Costco.
Anyone figure out what the extra storage does for you? You can’t store movies offline…
You can’t store movies offline. It’s for apps only
Why wouldn’t you spend 30 more and get the latest and greatest from Costco?
I work @ Costco it was $99 for 3rd gen 4k last time i checked
Wireless only?
Nope back up to $125 but it’s 3rd gen 64gb
And out of stock too
Not anymore, I literally just started looking to buy one and it’s back up to full price everywhere….
I got mine for 99 at Costco couple days ago
I want aptv to add the vpn option
They did. Tvos 17 has VPN support.
Could’ve bought it yesterday from Apple for $25 off plus a $25 gift card.
It’s a crapshoot buying electronics from woot. They have a short warranty and you can have trouble returning defective gear.
Check Amazon for a similar price but for only a few dollars I’d suggest new.
No they have not released it yet. I am going to try the 7 day trial since I paid for ss for a year membership
I just got 3rd gen refurbs from apple doe $109 w/64gb
Congrats. You just got an old model. The non 4K one is on the 4th generation. The 4K one is on 2nd generation. Apple has super confusing names for these.

Can we side load apps into this?
Woot is trash. Costco is cheaper
Not cheap at all considering 3rd gen is 129
Just get a 3rd gen one. tvOS 17 is laggy on my Apple TV 4K 2nd gen
I’ll check I open today
I’m not quite understanding why most would want/need this. I used to look at these devices (Apple TV, Roku, fire stick) as ways to turn a non Smart TV into a smart tv. But it’s 2023, smart tvs are cheap and plentiful and seem to be the standard for a while now. So why buy one of these devices when someone already has a smart tv??
I’ve still got a Samsung dumb TV so I am a person that purchases these. TV works just great and I don’t need 4K. Bought by an integrated smart TV a few years ago and it’s slower than a dog now. Almost unusable. These devices can upgrade those types of scenarios as well. Just got the Apple 4K WiFi 64G 3rd Gen at Costco for $100.
They still suck in 2023 compared to boxes. Weaker CPU. , low amounts of ram, low storage + lack of updates after whatever tv model has been out longer than 1-2 years generally.
$100-$130 is cheap price to pay for half decade of support + top of the line specs so it will age a lot better.
