Discontinued in October 2022. Apple no longer sells this model.
Should you buy it now?
No. Apple no longer sells the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation).
The Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) came out in May 2021 at $179. Apple stopped selling it in October 2022, so it gets fewer years of software updates than a current model. If you're buying new, the Apple TV 4K is the model to look at instead, from $299. Buying used can still make sense, but only at a steep discount and with the battery health checked.
