Hey, what do you think when will the next Apple TV be introduced and at what price? I just bought the current Apple TV with 128GB for 160 Euros (Germany) and am now unsure whether I should unpack it or wait? The rumor mill is hot, an Apple TV with more graphics power would be great for gaming, but I would actually like to use my Apple TV now and not always have to hang my iPad Pro on my TV for movies or gaming. Unpack and have fun with it or will a new generation be introduced in the near future at a similar price, so that I would regret it?

    The only viable hardware upgrades are the A16 and A17 SOCs, and those would push the price past the PS5.

    Thats absolutely BS. While I also do not expect an updated model very soon, the price would absolutely not be as high. The A15 was (iirc) estimated to cost between 50 and 70USD to manufacture. Athe A16 was at ~110 while the A17 was at ~150 for the highest estimates. While this could result in a worst case 100USD price increase, that is still far away from PS5 prices.

      Why would Apple give away their top chip in a $150 streaming device. That would be insanely stupid. Keep the latest gen chips in the highest margin devices. Your idea makes zero business sense.
