AV1 hopefully 🤞
They dropped the ball on that with the current model. They should’ve included that considering Amazon has it in their current gen units.
Yeah same thinking
Apple TV needs audio capabilities to 192/24
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?”
I think the biggest thing it’s missing is integrating the ability to watch broadcast TV, as well as Apple TV Netflix etc, people just want one solution. Here in the UK Sky have their stream service which has broadcast TV, Sky channels Netflix at call intergrated into the one device that just needs and internet connection.
It’s a corporate fan fiction site.
By far the best streaming device out there. The only thing I want is a remote that makes a sound when I use Find My." The work around they cam out with is ok … still should just have find my
I for one wouldn’t mind seeing Apple adding a secondary dedicated wireless chip, to be used with HomePods (if they’re in home theatre mode), instead of relying on the user’s WiFi. If anyone, Apple has the means to do so, and it would reduce the issues many are having with e.g. channel hopping.
Beyond that, it would be interesting if Apple also introduced a more gaming focused TV box. tvOS is already an essentially somewhat stripped down iOS, so putting the appropriate hardware under it could make it into a good entry option for even more taxing games. Imagine an M3 Pro powered beast with 16GB RAM, M.2 expandable storage for larger games, and unlike Macs, they’d have absolute control over the market. Apple’s hardware already goes head to head with top of the mid-range dedicated gaming hardware, at fraction of the power consumption, so once they get serious about gaming, I could see such a device clawing some of the market share away from Sony and Microsoft.
Maybe they’ll add some shielding to stop all the signal issues.
They need WiFi 6E to make me consider upgrading.
You would thing the next-gen will have 6E although I have mine hardwired.
So not much. Hdr10+ and faster switching between add and hdr would get me to upgrade from. 2nd gen atv
Apple needs to bring serious gaming to the Apple TV, way more storage, and release an Apple gaming controller.
My bet is that they’ll bring over RE4, RE Village and Death Stranding. I found it odd that they’re announcing these tier 1 games, but only on iPhone and iPad, when these games were all originally console games, and they weren’t announced on Apple’s (closest to a console device) AppleTV with the PS and Xbox controller support.
If the 2024 ATV implements the three things below, they will takeover the stream box market:
- Support for Dolby True HD and DTS MA Audio Codecs
- Ability to host Plex server locally
- Upgrade DAC processing to support 48/192
Unless it includes safari. Pass.
Can you explain why you need why need a browser?You can cast though?
Playing Xbox Gamepass Ultimate straight from their website for one. Casting isn’t the same.
Apple will never allow gamepass streaming regards if the add a browser.They will block it.
You can already do Gamepass streaming via safari. They haven’t blocked it.
its not on-device native support.
Are they finally going to fix the flickering introduced with iOS 14?
Still gonna have wonky controllers that disconnect or what?
My 4k Apple TV is the worst piece of tech I’ve bought in the last 10 years. Would buy again.
Please tell me it has audio pass-through… 🤞
How about Screen Time? Is it so difficult?
Or ACTUAL separate user accounts.
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.
Market share isn’t why Netflix isn’t integrated. They want to own their customer data. It’s worth money to them.
Doubt it will happen because Apple’s ATV+ is a “competitor”
