Here are some ways this works in the U.S., and what to check in advance:\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Ways to Buy with Affirm\n\n1. **Through Apple Pay with Affirm (online or in-store)**  \n   Apple now supports Affirm as a \u201cPay Later\u201d option within Apple Pay\u2014on websites, in apps, *and* at retail locations (if you have iOS 26). ([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/15/affirm-klarna-pay-later-in-stores/?utm_source=openai))  \n   So, if you add your Apple TV to your cart on Apple\u2019s online store or purchase it in an Apple Store, you *may* be given an option to split the payment with Affirm. ([affirm.com](https://www.affirm.com/wallet/shopping/applepaymerchants?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Using the Affirm Virtual/Physical Card at Apple or other stores**  \n   You can get an Affirm Card (virtual or physical), and use it like a regular card to pay where cards are accepted. If Apple accepts typical credit/debit cards, then this works. ([usmobile.com](https://www.usmobile.com/blog/buy-iphone-17-with-affirm/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Buy through other retailers that accept Affirm directly**  \n   Stores such as Best Buy, Target, and others that partner with Affirm may also stock Apple TV devices. At checkout, these sites often let you choose Affirm as a payment option. ([affirm.com](https://www.affirm.com/wallet/shopping/applepaymerchants?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Apple\u2019s own shop (online or physical)**  \n   While Apple itself doesn\u2019t prominently list Affirm as a default payment for every product, there\u2019s evidence that for \u201celigible purchases\u201d Apple may allow Affirm via Apple Pay at checkout. Terms (like duration and interest) will vary. ([simplymac.com](https://www.simplymac.com/apple-stores/apple-buy-now-pay-later?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f What to check & be aware of\n\n- **Eligibility**: Not all purchases are eligible for Affirm or \u201cPay Later\u201d options. Confirmation happens during checkout. ([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/16/apple-pay-affirm-partnership/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **APR & Terms**: Rates usually range from 0% up to ~36% APR, depending on your credit and the merchant. Also, longer terms sometimes incur interest. ([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/16/apple-pay-affirm-partnership/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **iOS / Device version**: To use Affirm through Apple Pay in physical stores, you generally need iOS 26 or later to see the option. ([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2025/09/15/affirm-klarna-pay-later-in-stores/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Virtual Card Setup**: If you plan to use the Affirm Card, make sure you set up your payment plan (and card) *before* checkout. You may need to add the virtual card to Wallet if you want to use it in-store. ([usmobile.com](https://www.usmobile.com/blog/buy-iphone-17-with-affirm/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which type of Apple TV device you want (e.g., \u201c4K\u201d or \u201cHD\u201d) *and* whether you prefer Apple\u2019s own store or a retailer like Best Buy or Target, I can pull up specific deals you can use Affirm with."
