Rumours have it that there’s a new Apple TV 4K coming in the first half of next year. Would it be worth waiting for it or buying now?

    I kinda want a bigger storage option, my kids love playing Apple Arcade games but they are limited with how many they can put on it.

    I actually just returned the latest one.

    My LGCX ATV app looked better than the Apple TV, for some reason it just wouldn’t get as a good a WiFi signal.

    My PS5, Shield and OLED all stream fine but the ATV wouldn’t ever get a good picture

    Just buy it. Can’t see how much better the new one will be. Maybe faster processor for gaming. But who cares. If you want to upgrade later, just sell your old one.

    I would see it more on the content side of things. Is there anything you like to access now that the Apple TV offers? Then yeah it’s worth it. Also check if your TV has Apple TV already.

    The new one will be a modest boost to the a16 chip, and might have WiFi 6e, but that’s it. It will have the Dolby atmos, Dolby vision and hdr 10 that the older, cheaper Apple TV will have.

    What do you want from the next one, to be considering waiting for something that hasn’t even been announced yet? Do you really need one if you’re willing to gamble on something that uncertain?

    A lot of the rumors point to a cheaper variant of the Apple TV (like the fire stick) and also another variant that will have a screen and/or speaker like the firecube. They don’t sound that credible to me tho.

    I went and bought one today to use with my BenQ X3000i projector. It does HDR10, Atmos (though yes not the better lossless version) all at 4k60 which is what my projector supports anyway. It already beats using my Xbox Series X as my media streaming device and I was quite surprised at how well AirPlay screen mirroring from my MacBook works.
