Whoa, $299?! Guess I'll be sticking with my 2022 model. I see zero upside to upgrading, other than being $300 poorer.

I still don't get how Apple can claim to have a "TV" product without actually making a TV. I always expected Apple to build the entire TV, not just a box.

Why make just one TV when you can make a box that plugs into any TV?

Overall? Superior hardware experience.

How much better can you make a TV? Also the margins are quite thin. Companies like LG and Samsung have pretty much perfected it.

But people don't pay for Apple just to save some bucks. People pay for Apple products to get the best of the best. I bet if Apple did a true Smart TV, people would just buy it eyes closed. Same happened back then with mobile phones, the market was flooded with options, look how successful they were with the iPhone.

‘LG perfecting TVs’ is quite funny in light of their privacy shenanigans.

I don't think Apple could do better than a high-end Sony.

What do I need faster performance for anyway? My existing Apple TV from.. 2019? is still running cool and handles every app without sweating.

No audio passthrough - no buy. This is limit amount of audio codec which possible to play and quality of sound

$300 is what the other streaming devices would cost if they weren't full of ads and spyware

So NVidia Shield Pro has been sold out everywhere for months and now used ones are selling for $500.

The price was $200, now there was news of a price increase to $300. This does seem to be the case, but does a price increase of something that's sold out even mean anything? Not sure if NVidia even confirmed they're still producing it.

The NVidia Shield Pro was the go-to device which supported all the codecs. Notably the ones that Apple TV didn't support was uncompressed Dolby Atmos if I remember correctly.

Any idea if this new Apple TV 4K supports uncompressed audio for 4k Blu-Ray rips (i.e. remux's) for Plex or JellyFin?

Double the price and it's literally the same product. That's really lame. They could have at least added a FaceTime camera or something.

Apple already listens to people having sex, they don't have to watch it too.

I don’t know if I feel like the headline features improve much over the last version.

But I might be in the minority of people who don’t talk much to their TV.

I talk to my TV, but I don't expect it to respond. :p

You'll talk more when it's necessary to skip ads.

No audio passthrough is obviously a huge miss and price isn't great either, but 60 Hz is super disappointing too. My Steam Machine is doing 120 Hz at 4K and it's great.
