Apple discontinues third-generation Apple TV

Apple has officially discontinued the third-generation Apple TV, communicating the news to education partners and pulling the device from its online store, 9to5Mac reports. The company began phasing out the device last month, instructing employees to pull the third-generation models from Apple Store shelves and send them back to Apple. In an email, Apple promised to fulfill backlog orders of the device, but redirected partners to other products for new purchases. Refurbished models are still being sold on Apple’s website.
