Apple TV Preorders Now Live On Best Buy For In-Store Pickup Or Delivery: Pricing And Options

If you want to purchase a fourth-generation Apple TV, electronics vendor Best Buy has a preorder list just for you. On Wednesday, Oct. 28, the retailer announced that it expects to start delivering the Apple TVs on Nov. 4.

Best Buy offers both the standard 32 GB version and the extended 64 GB variant of Apple TV and tvOS fans can have them for a price of $149.99 and $199.99, respectively.

The pre-order page shows that the gadgets will become available as soon as Nov. 4. Proactive clients can even pick the devices directly from the store, during the same day.

Buyers may also order the TV streaming system via the Apple website and wait until Nov. 2 to Nov. 6 for deliveries. If you opt for fast shipping, expect to receive the gizmo slightly earlier, between Oct. 30 and Nov. 3.

The company initially stated that Apple TV will reach customers living rooms in October, but it appears that only a few could see this become a reality. The majority of buyers have to wait until the beginning of November to get the fourth generation of Apple TVs.

The Cupertino-based company provided no information about when the TV streamers will be available in its own brick and mortar shops, but corroborating info from the market indicates that Nov. 4 could be it.

The streamer device is powered by a capable A8 system-on-a-chip and features Siri voice control, with upgraded deep search capacity.

Apple TV comes with a specially tailored App Store, which the producing company plans to transform into a magnet for developers. Third-party apps can make their way into the Apple Tv App Store, provided they have the Siri remote functionality up and running. The Siri remote is one reason Apple is so proud of its new gadget, and it includes a microphone for Siri, a touchpad and motion input.

Last week, the first app subscriptions arrived and Apple offered developers a golden master of its tvOS. The GM allows coders to check their apps for errors before sending them for approval.

For Apple fans that are far from an Apple Store, Best Buy is the easiest way to get their Apple TV. The network of Best Buy's stores features 1,050 locations in the United States and almost 200 more in Canada. The retail chain also sells electronics in Mexico.
