I have Apple TVs for the consistent UI's across my home. I don't even use the Apple TV app, but having my wife and kids know how to navigate any TV in the home on a consistent (and quick UI) is worth it to me. The built-in TV navigation is usually laggy and not great. Also, if I ever need to replace a TV everything stays the same once my Apple TV is plugged in.
Got a tip for us?

Um... even if there were 120 Hz and USB-C, that wouldn’t really affect the event. Those will just be simple specs they go over, you can’t really demo 120Hz on A live stream, and USB-C wouldn’t really make a difference. If these rumors about the magnetic things in the iPhone are true, it’s all about wireless charging this year.
How soon do we think the Pro models will be available to order?
Wanted to surprise my fiancé on her birthday this 28th, I’ve already told her that “I’m getting her Gucci bag”, which is waste of money; Ergo I hide an iPhone in those fake Guccii bags from China.
I might get dumped, but it’ll be hilarious.

Any speculation that the AirTags will use an AR interface for location?
Budget minded users should get a cheap set top box or TV that supports Apple TV app.
But there are some compelling reasons to spend more on Apple TV:
- Widest range of streaming apps, thanks to Apple not insisting on ad revenue sharing arrangement.
- Apple Arcade
- Apple Fitness+
- Hub for HomeKit devices
- Analyzes video for HomeKit Secure Video
- Does not share user data
- Apple TV app is much more feature packed -- chapter stops, extra contents, better scrubber
- Siri Remote notwithstanding, arguably superior and smoothest user experience
- Can output audio to AirPlay 2 audio devices
It's a shame that in the speed event Apple won't announce pro motion for iPhones.
Better cancel the event then. That’s it, no new iPhones this year. I’ll send Tim the notification.
"Hi, Speed" may refer to ARM SOCs.
Here's to hoping for a Homepod update, that is actually released in my country. And a cheap iPhone 12.

Time to start getting my ducks in a row for a 2:00 am preorder frenzy.

Wouldn’t regard it as a waste of money. It’s simply different wants and needs.
Silly. Infrastructure won’t be widely available for years. Hell even LTE isn’t completely rolled out across the country.
Thats Right Apple will implement a LTPO display possibly even have a always on display
I'd guess even more than that:
Wouldn't mind an updated round AppleTv though. That'd be a nice surprise.
