Ok, sorry, maybe I got the wrong info......HA AGAIN!
Seriously all you can do is argue the tech specs on movies now?

You sound like somebody that doesn't have a 4K TV. The difference is immense. I own a 55" 4K TV with HDR and it's incredible compared to 1080p. Leagues ahead.
I suggest you go and buy one and then make a judgement.
Clearly you don't know what you are talking about because some internet troll told you its impossible to see the difference and "here are all the reasons why."
A big question is though, will they allow HD audio passthrough? Or support HD audio formats? Or will they still limit us to DD?
No problem. The point was just that people are falling for a lot of marketing deception.
And a lot of them won't accept actual scientific facts.
In some posts people complain about apple jumping the gun on things and doing it too early. Others people whine about apple taking too long.
It's like everybody has their own vision for how apple actually is that isn't based on reality at all. "The apple I know"? Ha! You don't know apple. They do whatever they feel like at any given time

There's already great hope, and even some Homepod code implying maybe better than just hope. However, Apple being Apple, I wouldn't be surprised to have a "5" hit with some juicy reason(s) to upgrade (4K and maybe 4K+HDR) and then a "6" on down the road bringing on the modern audio codecs.
But I'll hope that Apple has finally decided to roll out a full toe-to-toe competitor to the "bag of hurt" instead of stepping forward for our eyes but leaving our ears in the distant past for at least one more generation of this product.

Can you provide something that is scientific fact? I have read through your articles, they are all subjective opinions.
Not a bad idea either.
I envision the Homepod just growing by 1 inch or so and put all the innards into that (round) space. I am sure some components can be combined (i.e. Processor chip, SSDs, power supply) Probably would have to suspend all innards in a vibrate proof way.
I would buy that as soon as available.
In the meantime those complaining about yet another version of the aTV should know by now that Apple's salami tactic will give them one slice at a time
Best way to avoid upgrading all the time is to adjust ones "MUST HAVE" wishes and skip a few generations, which is what I do.
By generation 6 or 7 , I may look into this. For now everything Apple I have works just fine.
I hope the new Apple TV will be able to switch frame rate to 24fps. I also hope Apple will offer content that will be able to match UHD-discs. I think the 1080p content is decent from iTunes. What I miss the most is a higher bit rate and lossless audio. I have a 4K projector and an 90" screen.
Be thankful Apple doesn't go ahead and ship plain 4K now - and then next year release a 4K HDR - Timmy will love to get paid twice
Very very true. Your statement sums up my frustration and really gets to the heart of the current Apple.
Just purchased a "new" Mac mini with a fourth generation chip. Seriously. Love the computer, but c'mon.
Very rarely I would say Apple has been first to something. More often they wait for the technology to be ready and they do a much better job at implementing a product. iPod after MP3 players, iPhone after smartphones, iPad after tablets.
Rather than insulting my memory, why don't you cite some specific examples of what you mean?
Isn't his point that resolution isn't everything? He does not say that resolution does not matter. Nobody here is telling you that 4k is the end all, but they are saying it helps. What are you not understanding about that?
That would be nice - but probably not likely. There isn't a current streamer out yet that does auto resolution switching. It's on the wishlists of lots of people.
As for matching UHD discs, doubt that as well. I think I've read that Vudu UHD is around 25Mbps whereas I think the Ultra HD BR spec is around 35Mbps. At this point you'll always get the best picture overall with physical media - especially with your 90" screen (which sounds like an awesome experience BTW).
No. Watch the video, do the test yourself.
Also, here is an additional blog post from Yedlin http://www.yedlin.net/BigK_2014.html

Apple knows very well they can't please everyone as a wisdom once said: "Please all and you'll please none". They know that there will always be some whinings about anything.
If apple don't refresh their aTV, some will say apple isn't doing enough etc. But when they added some nice things, some will say it's gimmicks.
Well people, if you don't like it, then don't buy it. Buy and enjoy other products you want, and keep your mouth shut.
