    I use my 2022 4K ATV everyday and there’s not a lot more I want/need it do really.

    Audio pass-through for Plex would be nice.

      I just got mine two weeks ago and absolutely love it. I think the only thing lacking is AV1 codec support.

      Holy crap yes please, plus I wouldn’t mind a 256gb model. My kids love playing Arcade games but I have a 64Gb model and I can only have a few games on at a time.

        If one, lets say, accessed someone else’s Plex library, would this app work?

      They have to put Apple A17 on it, since its only chip with hardware decoding av1.

        Yeah don’t see them putting such a new processor next year. Maybe in 2025. That would be the only reason worth upgrading if you got the new apple tv 4ks from the last few years.

          A lot of us are still using 2015 era AppleTV’s, if your TV isn’t 4k, not much season to upgrade. 1st generation 4k’s are hitting 5 years old now.

          I know some folks on the AV forums seem to upgrade TV’s every 2 years but most people are on more like a 10 years or until it dies cycle.

    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.

    Not really anything to get excited about. A faster CPU isn’t going to really improve streaming much. It could enable gaming but that seems like it is premature without any game announcements. Will wait for any official announcement.

      TV interfaces will benefit from any extra speed they can get since it makes switching from app to app faster and makes the interface overall less clunky. Apple TV is already faster than any other streaming device or TV is out there but any amount faster is always better. Cell phones are pretty much the same now too, there really hasn’t been much innovation over the last 5 years.

        This! Of course a faster CPU is beneficial on a streaming device. The UI on most streaming devices is absolute torture compared to an ATV. Obviously once you’re in a show or movie there isn’t a much to be gained by a faster CPU but when I want to launch an app, I don’t want to wait around for 20secs for it to launch. I’ve got an ATV-HD and an ATV-4K2. I’d probably get the ATV-4K4 and shuffle my other two around the house.

    I literally just bought a 3rd gen 4k, which is probably why this post got suggested to me. Did I fuck up by not waiting?

      I could see them hitting that price but doing it like they do MacBooks. Maybe offering the base 2022 version for that much, then the new one at 150 with the updated chip for more gaming power and ray tracing, and the 170 model with Ethernet and thread and more storage.
