Do you think they will be able to enable 4K support / airplay via a software update or is it a hardware thing?
It's a hardware thing.

Yeah. I guess it’s also like if Staples and Simply Mac started accepting pre-orders.So this is like if Best Buy started accepting pre-orders![]()
It'll be available for preorder on Halloween ships in November. You seem to forget that the first ever preorder on a Saturday was also the most recent preorder.
You're pretty bitter for someone who gets everything Apple a) mostly sooner b) pretty much at the cheapest price worldwide and c) sometimes even at all.Finally the Euros get something before the US (albeit 3rd party). Just glad we don't have to listen to you b**** about an American company serving Americans first.
Hadn't thought of it that way. I guess I was assuming that the retailers in question had some authorization from Apple to begin pre-orders. But yeah, they're probably just adding names to a list...In for all the people on here that don't bother reading that resellers are the ones taking pre orders (something any of them could have done the second it was announced) and expect Apple to do the same right thing minute.

I guess the trade off that you'll hear some moaning in an international forum is pretty acceptable for that.

Exceptions prove the rule.Actually, they’re not getting the cheapest price. That Apple T.V. ad is from a Norwegian retailer. The price is listed as 1,399 Kroner, which is roughly $160, which is $10 more than the American price.
Yes there is.Seems like a scam to me. There is no 32gb model for the iPad pro.
Why is that? You just mentioned an out, a paid upgrade.No. Legally they can't enable such things without charging for the update as they've been required to do in the past. They'll just sell you new hardware in the future if they choose to add 4k support.
I never understood that with the old iPhones, but that's not entirely accurate. I mean, Tesla just pushed out a free over the air update to the Model S to enable the cars to drive themselves. I'd say an over the air update to enable 4K wouldn't cost us anything.No. Legally they can't enable such things without charging for the update as they've been required to do in the past.

I got so excited when I saw the notification 'Apple TV 4 pre-orders begin'
I'm a long-time TV user, but lack of 4K support is a total deal breaker to me upgrading. The app store is neat, but video content is the absolute bread and butter of this device and they didn't get it right. I can't fathom what Apple was thinking. 1080P TVs over 50" are already becoming scarce in stores.

I've got a 4K 70" and sit about 10 ft away and can tell a huge difference in 4K vs 1080P, And my eyes are getting worse.Not a lot of 4K content and that may be for a while. Also I've read in articles you only really benefit from 4K if you are viewing a tv 60" or bigger and if you're sitting no farther than 6' away from the screen. Otherwise it looks just like 1080p content.
