Apple TV 4K Could Still Launch Before 2025 Ends: All the Rumored Features

Because if you have looked up the history of the Apple TV and the iPad Mini (from the Mini 4 onwards) you will see that both the Apple TV (including this A17 Pro version and excluding the A10X one) and the iPad Mini both came with the same SoC. That’s why
Also this code/leak is directly from Apple themselves. This is no lie
It's great to have a 8K device to show all that content that's available in 8K.
I wish Apple would make the top end Apple TV into a proper console, with an included controller and a game development and licensing effort at least equivalent to what the put into AppleTV+ content.
They have all this performance and synergy across the lineup, and yet it’s still better to look elsewhere for the best gaming experience. Tim Cook keeps looking for a new avenue of growth but can’t see the obvious path right front of his face.
I know people will point out that Apple’s never really done games, but we’re not in the power pc era where Macs trailed in performance, or the Intel era where bootcamp was a thing.
We’re in the Apple silicon era where Apple has made tremendous strides in performance and power efficiency to the point where they are leaders in the field.
We’re also in an era where Xbox is floundering and is ripe for displacement. Lastly (I hate this part, but) games are going to a services model, which is perfectly aligned with Apple’s priorities.
Microsoft has screwed things up so much that my gaming PC runs Linux. How has Apple done so little that an open source OS is a better option?
Hopefully Valve steps into the void Apple refuses to fill.

Yeah then it means that you are paying extra for nothing... cause yeah a camera = more expensive apple tv!
That's one part of why I think it makes way more sense to just allow people to connect their own camera to a USB port.
I think the camera should be a separate accessory. I imagine where most people place their Apple TV, it’s not a great location for a wide angle camera.
Unless they change it radically, does it really take this long to shove a chip in it that has been around for years? They missed the buzz of when the iPad Pro was released. Still no HomePod mini
Was just popping in to say the same.
If it's going to remain a box that sits out where people can see*, why not explore some color options not unlike iPad, iPhone iMac, etc.? Anything other than the same black plastic they've been using for what feels like 20 years please. And while I'm here, color match them with updated HomePods (sage AVT box + sage HomePod speakers, sand ATV box, sand HomePod speakers, etc.).
*I have our ATVs mounted to the backs of our TVs.
I have no idea what half of these sentences mean, but I think I agree with you.
Important to note that Wi-Fi 7 does not imply that 6Ghz support is going to be added by default. A device can broadcast 2.4Ghz/5Ghz and still be Wi-Fi 7. While 6Ghz is likely since N1 supports it, it's not guaranteed.
Because that’s the minimum requirements for Apple Intelligence
Mind you some manufacturers have stopped making 8K TVs for now… it’s just too early. Let alone a 8K Apple TV
Seems if there’s any camera changes they’ll be to add usb webcam support.
A built in one doesn’t make much sense. Privacy concerns, extra cost, ATV positioning… doubt they’d do it.
Even though I picked up most of the new product releases so far this year, the Apple TV is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most. Come on and release already Apple!
I dunno, an Apple TV in cosmic orange is a hard no for me.
Isn't that pretty much the story with just about all new Apple products these days?
