In a market where hardware prices have surged throughout 2026, including for various Apple laptops and tablets, consumers can mitigate costs by purchasing refurbished electronics directly from the company. Apple is currently offering discounts on its third-generation Apple TV 4K, with the 64GB model priced at $169, reflecting a $30 reduction from the standard retail price. Additionally, the premium 128GB model, which includes an Ethernet port, is available for $209, marking a $40 discount.
Products sold through Apple’s refurbishment program are typically restored to near-like-new condition and come with the same one-year warranty as new devices. This makes them a compelling option for users looking to upgrade their home entertainment setup without paying full price.
The Apple TV 4K serves as a versatile hub for both media consumption and gaming. For subscribers to Apple Arcade, the device functions effectively as a mini gaming console. Users can pair Bluetooth controllers, such as the PlayStation 5 DualSense, to play games designed for PC and consoles on their television. The device also features Siri for voice navigation and supports high dynamic range formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus, delivering contrast quality that exceeds many cheaper streaming devices.
Both storage variants can act as a HomeKit hub for smart home devices, though only the model with Ethernet support includes Thread networking capabilities. The device was originally reviewed upon its 2022 launch, with praise directed at its performance and integration with major streaming services.
Beyond Apple, other deals are currently available at major retailers. At Best Buy, an Energizer 3-in-1 magnetic charger is priced at $20, half its original cost. The charger provides 15W for phones, 5W for earbuds, and 2.5W for Apple Watches, featuring a folding design for portability.
Also at Best Buy, a Ring Doorbell 2K and Indoor Cam bundle has dropped to $60 from $140. The battery-powered doorbell offers live viewing, two-way communication, and night vision without requiring hardwiring.
At Walmart, a Vizio 4.1 soundbar system is discounted to $100.80, down from $168. The kit includes a 30-inch soundbar, wireless surround speakers, and a subwoofer, with Dolby Atmos support for spatial audio.
