Dealmaster: Get an Apple TV 4K for $105 (when you buy three months of DirecTV Now)

Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today's list is highlighted by a pretty stellar discount on the Apple TV 4K, albeit one with a catch.

AT&T is selling the 4K- and HDR-compatible entry in Apple's line of set-top boxes for as low as $105, which is well down from its normal going rate of $179. But to get that price, you need to prepay for three months of the company's DirecTV Now streaming service. That starts at $35 a month for its entry-level package, titled "Live a Little." If you throw down the $105 needed to cover that tier for three months upfront, AT&T will then toss in the Apple TV 4K at no extra cost.

Now, you'll have to create an account with AT&T and be a new customer to DirecTV Now to be eligible. And if you're not interested in the service in the first place-be it for its lack of DVR or just the fact that it's owned by AT&T-you'll have to remember to turn off auto-renew once your three months are up. But given that it's possible to just ignore the service completely and treat this like any other discount, this is about as good a deal as we've seen for Apple TV 4K. The box itself isn't without its issues, but, per usual, still plays nice if you're already knee deep in Apple products.
