Is the Apple TV 4K still worth buying after the price hike? - Engadget
www.engadget.com
Apple TV 4K still outperforms the competition, but the better picture quality may not justify the steep price tag when compared with a Roku or Google TV device.

To answer the question, no it is not worth the price hike. It’s a four year old model by now and a newer one is probably in the pipeline. I recommend looking for one on sale or Apple refurbished instead.

Also don’t be surprised if the power button on your $60 Siri Remote pops out after a year or so. Easily fixable with scotch tape, but another reason to wait for the next revision or a sale price.

    We always assumed it was my son’s asshole of a cat that managed to remove it.

      There are a number of posts online about this problem if you do an internet search (as I found out when trying to repair mine). Not sure if it was a bad batch, or an inherent design flaw.

        We figured it was the cat, as he was always playing with the remote, so we never looked into any further.
