What is it that everyone is waiting for in AppleTV? Or in other words, why does everyone want or need an update? I have an old ATV 2nd or 3rd gen (not being used); I used to have an ATV HD, gave that away to a family member bc they needed one and I was able to pick an ATV 4K for about $100; although I have 4k TVs, it's actually not even hooked up to that TV, but rather to my main older Plasma TV which is one of my main TVs. Anyways, question is, what do you need in a newer ATV? The ATV4K that I have works perfectly fine.
No, as pointed out above, it will at best be an AW4, with maybe even another feature or two removed.
If I'm not mistaken, AW S4 and S5 are practically the same. The S5 only brought always-on display. Even the chip was not significantly different.
Removing features so they can sell for less is a great idea. Many of AW's features are US centric. Many countries don't even get fall detection, eSIM support, ECG, etc. So imo it's a good idea to cut on some features and refresh the S3 with the updated look.
Well that's bizarre. Dunno what else to try. Other than maybe waiting a while and see if it shows up. Anyone else got any ideas?
For my part, it’s just what I said— curiosity. I’m not really in the market for a new AppleTV per se. I might like to see them do something interesting with it, though I don’t really expect much.
Series 5 also doubled the internal storage to 32 gb.
An idea I had earlier today was to create an Apple Watch 4c, ie, as with the iPhone 5c, take the Series 4 and put it into a (possibly colourful) polycarbonate shell.
A) AppleTV is low on the product upgrade priorities list
B) Hardware is sufficient for current needs of most users
C) Building more powerful AppleTV with A14 chip is overkill
D) Due to covid, production delays meant no new content on AppleTV+ to justify a new release.
E) All of the above
Evan was reporting leaks when Prosser was getting his diapers changed. I'd trust him over Prosser any day of the week.

While you could be right, I dearly hope you are wrong.
Why? Well I think it's fairly obvious to assume that Pre-COVID the plan was to release both the iPad Air and iPhone together at the same Sept event. In that scenario it's perfectly reasonable that both would get the new A14 chip. But due to COVID the iPhone is delayed a few weeks but the iPad is ready to go. Options A) delay the iPad B) degrade the iPad to A13 C) iPad introduces A14.
I agree with you typically the iPhone will get all the new goodies, but if Apple truly make the iPad Air worse for everybody who buys one over the next several years simply because it came out a few weeks before the iPhone, that would just seem immature and hostile to customers.
I'm holding out hope for a killer feature for Series 6 that hasn't leaked. The Apple Watch is clearly the centre-piece of this event, unless we're missing something. Merely bumping up the chip and adding a niche feature like blood oxygen tracking will not be enough to justify the hype; Apple doesn't want a bunch of underwhelmed headlines today. If Series 6 were part of an iPhone launch, then that'd be different, you could smuggle in a minor watch upgrade.
they are not interested in competing in the low end. It would dilute the brand and product reputation.
Well if the watch is coming out soon then iOS 14 will have to come out first. I'd expect the gold master today as none of the watches will work on any iOS besides 14.
Exactly this. Not sure why the rumor mill is treating this like it’s some new product. And everyone saying $199...that’s the current price of the series 3. So this is just a series 3 replacement that maybe gets a new marketing name.
Yeah it is weird. I am in the UK and interestingly, on the Apple UK website, it directs me to the US site for the live stream so I am wondering if the broadcast will be for the regional US App only
It was also happening in Germany, Denmark and all european countries as well as the UK so i wasn't alone but suddenly its appeared under "Watch Now". Thanks for your help anyway
I guess I'm not too surprised. Keeping the 3 around and slotting the SE in between the 3 and 6 price-wise.
