how much ram you think for ATV4 ?

[Che Castro]

the current apple tv 3 has 512 MB

what do you think the apple tv 4 will have?

remember it needs to run games with the new app store , the fire tv has 2gb

I'd say 1gig. Why should it have more?

iPhone 6+ happily drives a 1920x1080 screen with 1gig. Unless ATV4 goes 4k (which it won't), it doesn't need more RAM.

2Gb. A good number for plenty of growth.

I think it'll have 1GB. It will probably have the A9 SoC, which has only had 1GB of RAM in any product.

Plus, where people seem to complain about 1GB not being enough is with loading full desktop-size websites on Safari, multitasking away from those sites, and being annoyed that they reload when returning to Safari. That is not a usecase on AppleTV. There probably won't be a Safari browser, and I doubt there will be any significant multitasking.

The most multitasking AppleTV will do is likely the picture-in-picture features demoed in iOS9. Those features work on devices with 1GB.

That said, I hope it has more. Moar! MOAR! But I'm going to buy it regardless. I know it. You know it. Apple knows it.

1GB.

1gb unless they give it the App Store with games etc then it'll be 2gb.

Any chance Apple would allow emulator apps on the AppStore
For nes and others

 

[MacUser09]

2GB. (A) to future proof, and (B) to keep up with Amazon.

 

[anubis]

0GB because Apple TV 4 will never be introduced.

No way Apple will give you 2GB on a $100 product.
There will be maybe 1GB but I wouldn't be surprised if they stick with 512MB. 😉

Apple will include just enough to make it run minimally but not enough so that you can pass on the next generation.

 

[DavidLynch]

1GB probably, no more

 

[cynics]

2GB. (A) to future proof, and (B) to keep up with Amazon.

2 things Apple has never worried about.

Zero chance. They actively remove any apps that are found to contain emulators.

 

[Che Castro]

After the latest rumors

A8
8gb 16gb
Same ports as the atv3
No 4k

I'm going to say 1gb ram

 

[Ferazel]

I'm guessing that it will use the exact same hardware as the iPod touch. Maybe a faster clock, but in general the same SoC, so in that case I'd say 1 GB.

Thy can try to make me upgrade on each generation but I won't. I'm still using my ATV2 happily.

 

[Che Castro]

It's confirmed 2gb by 9to5mac

 

[TouchMint.com]

2gb as confrimed in the dev specs.

0GB because Apple TV 4 will never be introduced.

I was worried about that as well, but yay it is here.
