A good chip is a good update because Siri will improve over time now that the pressure is on. Having the chip in there is half the battle. Beyond a more capable Siri and software features added here and there over time, it's best to keep the hardware simple and save on cost by doing so. An input switcher on the top-left of the Siri Remote opposite the power button would be awesome. While I'm dreaming I've like four shortcut buttons beneath the volume controls.

That would certainly be the most interesting feature about it.
We've had the original Echo (what Alexa is truly called) for 9.5 years. It's blown away Siri by leaps and bounds the entire time. Anytime we ask it a question, we get the answer whether it's the weather forecast in our town or 500 miles away, facts and figures, math calculations, and all sorts of other questions. When it plays music you can just say "Alexa, who sings this?" and you'll get the title and artist and it's 100% accurate. We can enable alerts for Amazon deliveries.
We don't go bonkers using the Echo but it has great sound, always works as far as any kind of personal assistant, and hey, so far 9+ years!
Every time I see the Apple TV remote I wonder why they just don't make the Apple TV Remote similar to an Apple iPod Clickwheel and just simplify it.
I think you could make the remote less clutered or keep the exact same design by integrating some existing buttons under the wheel.
Whats a good site that sells new apple products at a discount that just got replaced by new models?
I want a 13” iPad pro. I don’t think an M5 will be that special to an M4, unless it weighs less.

i like this remote, i also like not having to look at it to operate it. for me physical buttons are way better then the last Apple TV remote.
I dig it, just saying I think they could keep the same deign but the black circle pad could operate like a iPod click wheel. You could move the back button underneath the left pad, tv/home button to top, play pause to down button, keep volume buttons that frees up 3 existing buttons.. you could have input, dedicated Apple TV button, maybe a blank button that could be programmed to a feature of your liking.
The contour is for its use case. It also has the same number of buttons on the wheel as an iPod.
About the remote: Every time I want to go 1 video/app/anything left I end up at the neighbors Apple TV two blocks away.
I wish they would make the controls a bit more easy.
About things I wish to expect: A HomeHub with touchscreen (and a speaker or Apple TV in it or both).

This should be every event. Instead of "Good morning" we get serious Tim.I prefer this photo of Tim
100% there's a new 
TV.
Did no-one else clock the opening segment of the iPhone launch video when they introduced all's designs at 00:19, the iPhone found the TV caseless remote using Find-My?
Strange that this was included as everything else featured was shipping products.

I really hope we get a new HomePod mini. I’ve never had one but looking forward to one for podcasts and twitter spaces. For the Apple TV, I’ll probably wait for the next one in a couple of years.
My 2021 version is running great. I need confirmation about Dolby Vision 2 compatibility before pulling the trigger.

iPad Pro need to have Two cameras depending on how you hold, landscape or potrtrait ... same for the iPad mini (at list imo and personal interest as I use my mini to work and video conf.
I know this isn't going to happen but a ~9" smaller iPad Pro would be pretty sweet. Otherwise, I'm not in the market for any of the rumored upcoming products (which is fine).
