How to Preorder the Latest Apple TV 4K

Apple has unveiled its latest Apple TV 4K, marking the first update in four years, set to launch on Friday, November 13th. This new model packs a punch with the A19 chip, a significant upgrade from the A15 Bionic found in the now-discontinued 2022 version. It also boasts improved wireless connectivity. Siri AI plays a prominent role in this release, although it will be in beta for second-gen Apple TV 4K models and newer. Additionally, the new Find My tracking feature is compatible with the second-gen Siri remote and later versions.

Priced at $299, this new device is a bit of an investment, especially considering the original 2022 Apple TV 4K started at half that price before its recent increase to $249. However, for those eager for a fresh upgrade, preorders are now open exclusively through Apple, with other retailers expected to join soon.

For gamers or viewers who feel the new model isn’t quite what they were hoping for, the third-gen Apple TV 4K from 2022 is available refurbished for $209. It offers a solid value with many similar features, including Thread connectivity, ethernet, 128GB storage, and HDMI 2.1. While the A19 chip in the new model promises enhanced performance longevity, the 2022 version still delivers impressive speed, as I discovered when I recently picked one up.
