Apple discounts refurbished Apple TV 4K models by up to $40

Apple is selling refurbished Apple TV 4K units at reduced prices amid broader hardware price increases in 2026. The 64GB third-generation model now costs $169, a $30 cut from its regular price, while the 128GB version with an Ethernet port is down to $209, a $40 savings.

USB naming confusion means pricier flash drives often deliver real speed gains

USB 3.0's successors were renamed using confusing 'Gen' labels tied to speeds of 5, 10 or 20 Gbps, making printed USB 3.2 labels unreliable indicators of actual performance. USB-C ports add convenience but say nothing about speed, since USB-C devices can still run at USB 2.0 rates. Real-world tests, like Kingston's DataTraveler Max hitting up to 1,000 MB/s versus Samsung's Fit Plus write speeds of just 58.4 MB/s, show huge gaps hidden behind similar branding.
