It’s been just over a month since Apple unveiled the next-gen version of Apple TV, and it’s finally available to buy.
The 2015 Apple TV is now on sale through Apple’s online store in the US.
Pricing starts at $149/£129 for the 32GB version, while the 64GB model will set you back $199/£169.
Orders will start shipping to customers later this week, with the earliest delivery available set for October 30.
There are a number of extras available for purchase alongside the Apple TV:
- Extra Siri Remote – $79
- Remote Loop wrist strap – $12.99
- Two years of AppleCare coverage – $29
Apple first announced the Apple TV on September 9, marking the fourth-generation of the device.
It lands as the first major update to the platform since the second-generation Apple TV, which was released on September 1, 2010.
At the time, Apple CEO Tim Cook said “the future of TV is apps”, and revealed new features including a new tvOS operating system, integrated Siri support, and a touchpad-enabled Siri remote.

Hardware also saw an improvement, with the new Apple TV boasting an A8 chip, 2GB of RAM, and support for 1080p video at 60 frames per second.
