Apple to Sell Apple TV HD Bundled With New Siri Remote for $149

[MacRumors]

Alongside the announcement of the new Apple TV 4K, Apple today in a press release revealed that users will be able to purchase the current 32GB Apple TV HD bundled with the new Siri Remote at $149.

The Apple TV HD provides many of the same features as the higher-end Apple TV 4K, but it lacks high-quality 4K HDR video and Dolby Vision support. Apple will continue to sell this lower-end model, now bundled with the new Siri Remote.

This new remote features a new clickpad control with five-way navigation, which Apple says provides better accuracy when browsing content on tvOS. Additionally, there's a separate power button that controls a TV's power, a separate button for mute, and Apple moved the ‌Siri‌ button to the side of the remote.

The Apple TV HD bundle with the new Siri Remote will be up for order on April 30, and available in the second half of May. You can read more about the new Siri Remote in our post covering the announcement.

I just want the remote on its own. Nothing special about the rest of it

 

[Joniz]

So the remote works with the current Apple TV?

Why not sell it separate? (I mean, other than to make more money?)

 

[MacFan782040]

Sell the remote separately and you have a buyer.

edit: I guess you can for $59. Assuming it works on previous gens?

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Board members: Maybe it's time to update the Apple TV?
TC: Just give 'em the new remote y'aalllll

Is the A8 the longest running A chip now?
People praise other chips for longevity but the A8 has been produced steadily since 2014.

i may just get my first apple tv...

 

[Joniz]

What would we all pay for a better remote?

 

[zubikov]

Finally they updated ATV. Three and a half freakin years!!! The remote looks promising, really excited.

Yeah an A8 Apple TV HD just seems crazy to be selling these days the $30 to future proof to the A12 and 4K seems like a no brainer.

They are going to sell it separately for $59. Backwards compatible.

That new remote is a million times better than the current touch one, great job Apple. Function over aesthetics this time

 

[Andres Cantu]

Not even a price cut to $99? Why would anyone buy this at $149 when the new one is $179? The A8 is 6 generations behind, almost 7 at this point!

Even the 3rd Gen Apple TV got a price cut before the 4th Gen was released.

It is? how much have you used it?

On one hand, you'd think they'd discontinue this and just sell the previous version of the ATV 4K as the lower end model.

On the other hand, I'm glad they're still selling this because it means the ATV HD will be getting software support for a good while longer. There's a lot of them in service out there, some tucked in out of the way crevices.

Boo Apple! Way to go Apple! The love/hate relationship continues.

 

[Sasparilla]

Oh, that remote looks so nice.

 

[Shanghaichica]

I thought they said $179 for 32 GB and $200 for 64GB

 

[Razorpit]

If they sold the remote separately that would probably cut about 75% of AppleTV 4K+ sales. ?

 

[acorntoy]

I thought they said $179 for 32 GB and $200 for 64GB

That’s the 4K.

 

[goobot]

Why would I buy last gen that’s years old for only a 30$ savings...

 

[Che Castro]

i may just get my first apple tv...

Get the 4K version not this 1080p, even if you don’t have a 4K


this old 1080p Apple TV should be $100 or less , I don’t understand the pricing here so close together $150 $179 $199
