Apple’s 4K streaming device rarely goes on sale, but right now it’s available for its lowest price to date at Costco.com. Now through October 31st, Costco members can buy the third-gen Apple TV 4K online with an expanded 128GB of storage for just $119.99 ($30 off). If you’re not already a member, you can still take advantage of the deal if you sign up for an annual subscription, which starts at $65 a year.
The 2022 Apple TV 4K is an excellent choice for anyone invested in the Apple ecosystem, one that offers a level of integration you won’t find in competing products from Google, Amazon, or Roku. For example, you can use your iPhone as a remote, pair it with two sets of AirPods for private listening, or view your Apple Fitness Plus workout metrics on the big screen. It even supports Apple’s Continuity Camera feature, letting you take FaceTime calls directly from your TV.
Thanks to the recent release of tvOS 26, you can also access a new karaoke mode called Sing in Apple Music, which lets you use your iPhone as a mic and view song lyrics on your TV screen, with the appropriate translation and pronunciation cues. You can even pair the Apple TV 4K with an AirPlay-enabled speaker and quickly jump back into your favorite apps, courtesy of a new feature that automatically loads your profile when the device wakes up.
New tvOS features aside, the latest Apple TV 4K is just a good streaming device. Despite being nearly three years old, it’s still plenty fast, and supports HDR10 Plus, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Wi-Fi 6. Plus, unlike the 64GB entry-level model, the 128GB configuration features a built-in ethernet port and support for the newer Thread protocol, making it a great option for smart home enthusiasts.
