 Out of stock?  Buyers complain on social media about delay in delivery of Apple TV 4K

Update (11/04/2022) – LR

The Apple TV 4K was launched in October this year by the Cupertino giant as the company’s new device for streaming on-demand content with high image resolution. Unlike previous versions of the equipment, the new generation was presented by the brand without the cable for charging the controller, an accessory that came in the kit.

The device was launched in two versions, the first with 64 GB of internal storage and Wi-Fi-only connectivity costing US$ 129, around R$ 660 in direct conversion, and a variant with 128 GB and Ethernet input for US$ 150, around R$760 at the current US dollar exchange rate.

According to reports on Twitter, some people who pre-purchased the Apple TV 4K have already received the product, while others have had delivery delayed by a week. While the company has not commented on the case, it does suggest that the media player’s inventory may be experiencing problems.

This is not the first time that the manufacturer has faced difficulties in meeting the deadline for delivery of its newly launched devices, however, considering Apple’s history, the situation is expected to normalize soon.

Apple removes yet another accessory from the box of its devices, confirms new 4K TV

Apple removed yet another accessory from the box of its devices after the launch of the new Apple TV 4K. The change was noticed by consumers in the United States who noted that the remote control does not have charging cablesomething that was shipped in the previous model.

With this, despite changing the charging port to a USB-C, Apple ends up forcing the user to buy a cable separately to recharge the remote control.

The change is even valid for those who buy the controller separately, since it costs US$ 59 (~R$ 314) and also does not come with the cable in its box.

See the example below:

If you want to buy an official charging cable, the user will need to pay another US$ 19 (~R$ 100) to take the one-meter option that Apple sells in its US store.

Apple has not yet commented on this change, but the company has previously justified itself by claiming that most consumers already have an old charger and even a USB-C cable from another device at home.

So just reuse. However, the company could have provided the charging cable at least on this model, as this is the first Apple TV controller to ditch the Lightning port.

Also, despite taking the charger out of the iPhone case, Apple never failed to ship the cable. Now it remains to be seen how long this policy should continue.
