Apple has quietly discontinued the 40GB Apple TV overnight and reduced the price of the 160GB model down to $229. Previously, the 40GB and 160GB models were priced at $229 and $329, respectively.
Now Apple is offering only a single 160GB model at $229. The changes fulfill an analyst prediction based on slipping ship dates for the 40GB model.

This would suggest we should see a major Apple TV software update in the near future.
Apple today provided developers with the third betas of upcoming watchOS 26.5, tvOS 26.5, and visionOS 26.5 betas for testing purposes. The software comes a week after Apple released the second betas for each platform.
