What a boring and uninspired design choice. If Apple chooses this route, I hope they put an interesting spin on the 'dongle' approach.
Why? It would just be hiding behind the display where you will never see it.

and can I have a 17" Macbook air please? ;-)
This is sort of common knowledge, something that Curved seems to lack.but does Apple want to "Hide" their device?
Normally Apple loves to display their products.
Not everything needs the Air moniker or to be smaller. We need a device that has gaming capabilities, controller support, and fast WIFI AC streaming with more content. If Apple has to double the size, so be it!
And why do I need an Airport Express they could just add the software to the Apple TV to give it the Airport functionality. Also a few extra Ethernet sockets would be good too.... I wouldn't have to run a mini router then.
I love the current remote made from a machined block of aluminium. It has some weight and it's the proper length for a remote, it feels like quality when you hold it.
There's no benefit in miniaturising the ATV to the size of a dongle.
Especially when HDMI doesn't provide power.
And for the rest of us audiophiles who have 7 plus speakers I want it to go through the AV Receiver first anyway down where the rest of my components are.
The 17" never sold well and accounted for only about 1% of MBP sales. You won't see that come back.
The dongle is too wide and will block other HDMI ports. Fail.

Nice ideas, however these days a lot of people will never buy anything that could be used to spy into their homes.
Dear Apple, I want....
A new Apple TV, quad core 64bit arm, latest GPU with ray tracing , App Store app compatibility for apps/games, 1080p and Ultra 4k video, 3d video. Works wide range of controllers. Also want apps which play new or live content and have Apis to push it to a scheduling system so I can pre download or see what's new at a glance.
I want to be larger and heavier than the cables I plug into it, the latest wifi, built in airport functionality, 3 or 4 IP connectors, And I want it soon....
The dongle is too wide and will block other HDMI ports. Fail.
Please allow devs an SDK so we get Plex Client support!!!
