Apple’s “beloved hobby” roughly doubled versus 2011 to surpass 5 million Apple TVs sold in fiscal 2012 — clearly, something big is happening. And, you can get in on the action while spending less (Apple doesn’t need all your money) with a Refurbished Apple TV.

The Apple Certified Factory Refurbished Apple TV is the same product with the same AppleCare warranty for $14 off the suggested retail price. Not a huge savings, but less is less.
