Apple

What I want to see is an Apple TV that's capable of running games such as Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Death Stranding and such. With Apple making their latest iPhone and iPad Pro devices capable of running console quality games, the Apple TV should also have that extra power.

If it supports AV1 then I think I will get the 4k version.
Been looking at a replacement for my Vero for a while and the interface on the apple TV stuff is great - though I'm not 100% sure on using apple TV to stream media from a network storage device.

Maybe this will force Nvidia to update the shield from 2019

So, nothing worth buying it for then

Never have I read so many words and received so little information.

Maybe if they added a multi gig Ethernet port I might upgrade. WiFi 6 is more than enough on my current model so I’m happy.

You would think Apple would be pushing av1 to reduce its bandwidth spend for Apple TV+, but a17pro seems like an absurdly expensive chip to use for an Apple TV?

I've always been surprised at how often Apple iterates this product and changes nothing of substance.

“Similar design” is not a change, MacRumours

will there be any new features？

Since everyone else is sharing anecdotes: my 4k broke after 4 or 5 years. I still bought a new 4k because you can’t beat the damn thing in terms of streaming boxes. It is by a wide margin, the GOAT.

Didnt they just update the Apple TV 4K a couple years ago? Maybe it was just the controller though.....

Honestly It performs perfectly fine. Not sure why it needs a refresh yet.

I was about to buy the 4K 128GB Ethernet one this month, is it worth holding out then?

Sigh. They could own the living room if they wanted. Add some actual new features!

How about Screen Time? Is it so difficult?

Sub $100 price point is the only important thing here. If they can bring their top of the line streamer below $100 then maybe they can really start making waves in the streaming-device market. Maybe then, Netflix will finally integrate properly.

Hope they still the Ethernet port

Gimme that hardware ray tracing!

Is this article off or something? USB C on the remote and HDR10+ are already there.

Maybe they’ll add some shielding to stop all the signal issues.

It needs to be able to play games like RE4 remake

So not much. Hdr10+ and faster switching between add and hdr would get me to upgrade from. 2nd gen atv

Still gonna have wonky controllers that disconnect or what?

Sounds like chip refresh, be interesting to see if the price actually does come down, but I already have 5 of them so not getting anymore anytime soon lol.

This isn't very analytical stuff:

• Faster chip? That's unheard of in a new model!
• Lower price? They did it last time, maybe they can do it again if they strip out a thing or two...
• Similar design? It's been pretty much the same for the last 13 years, not a shocker.

​

That said, other than saving $20, there aren't any listed reasons for a new one. Did I miss some actual "features?"

AV1 hopefully 🤞

Apple TV needs audio capabilities to 192/24

Are they finally going to fix the flickering introduced with iOS 14?

Wooooopty doo. I just bought one and presumed this article was going to say something not obvious

Was this worth a post?
A new apple tv just sticking in a new chip, MAY be lower in price.... Let us all rush and buy it, lol.

I really only want AV1 support and I’m set. It’s the only reason I would go to new hardware from my current 4K.

Switched to Roku years ago and never looked back. Very happy with the way Roku supports their older models. I’m still using a Roku 3 that is supported for all apps.
