At WWDC it was mentioned during the keynote that there would be an Apple TV announcement (or something in that space) later this year. I think we're all expecting an Apple TV 4K at some point.
Personally, it's high time for me to upgrade my AV receiver. It doesn't have 4K so I have to use ARC and all the compromises associated with that at this point.
But here's what's holding me back. It seems that Apple would be wise to follow in Sonos' footsteps and use HomePod (or related AirPlay 2 products) as a sound system that integrates with Apple TV 4K. Maybe the Apple TV 4K could even come as an integrated center channel option. Think Sonos Playbase but with an ATV in there.
I've been looking high and low for rumors on when the Apple TV 4K announcement may come so that I'll know if something like that is happening this year. I'd feel pretty silly buying a fancy new Heos receiver and maybe some new Atmos floorstanding speakers only to have Apple release a solution I'd rather have.
Has anybody seen or heard anything about when the new Apple TV may drop?
