Don't really see much point upgrading tbh from existing ATV4K
I agree. I understand the cost would increase, but at least give us the option? What I think makes the choice of A12 only even more strange is that Apple is also pushing Apple Arcade on the Apple TV and there we now have a bunch of PC/Windows and console level games such as NBA 2K21, The Pathless, Beyond a Steel Sky and other quite demanding games – and what about coming releases?A12 Bionic isn’t much of an upgrade compared to A10x. Considering Apple TV will have a much scarcer updates, this is lame.
They should just go with A14? Remember the current ATV 4K was released at 2017 when A10x was hot, and still being used for iPad Pros at the time.
You were wrong about the rest of your paragraph lol nice try thoughI was right about the Xbox Series X and PS5. And 4K/DV support via built-in app is limited to specific TVs, not all.
So that makes you wrong![]()
It is. I am finally adding a 802.11ax AP to my home network after reading the benefits of OFDMA and while the increase in speed isn't gigantic, OFDMA is the leap we needed for homes with a lot of WiFi devices.

Many people with a decent home threatre setup, even a modest one don’t have the Apple TV under or close to the tv. Some it’s not even in the same room.Sure, but that's easily handled manually. If you can hold up your iPhone to the TV to do calibration, you can tell your ATV in settings where it is relative to your TV. Setups don't vary that much.
I would recommend a universal remote if the remote is that big of a deal for you. One can do much better than an Apple TV remote if that’s the issueDoes anybody know if you can buy the remote separately and use it with the current models of TV 4K and/or HD?
Obviously you’ve not had any OLEDS by LG or Sony with the Apple TV app built in it in the last 5 years...Because most “smart” tvs are often quite dumb, slow with crap UIs and controllers... And 20$ sticks are worse. If you stream everything from apps, you might not notice the difference, and if it works for you great!
Shield is much more powerful overall for people that care about true quality video AND audio in their home theatre or media room setupReally agree with that. The only reason that I'm using Shield TV is that it supports TrueHD audio pass-through.
Overrated. The upgrade from previous generation isn’t worth the costone word - color balance.
2 words. And the existing 4K ATV will have it too.one word - color balance.
eARC is not something playback devices support. Its sole purpose is to enable display devices to send uncompressed audio to an AV receiver or active speaker ("soundbar") through the same HDMI connection that feeds video to the display device.I honestly can't wait to see if eARC is indeed supported. I was very critical with my colleagues that the AppleTV was NOT the better TV device (the 4K Roku Ultra was massively better in quality than the Apple TV 4K). With all the stats coming in, it's looking like the new Apple TV will be crazy hot!
one word - color balance.
I am not sure I understand your comment. If the Apple TV connects directly to a AV receiver, why would audio pass through be needed? And if it is connected to a TV, then the TV would need to support audio pass through to the AV receiver.
I don’t see any reason for the AppleTV to support audio pass through. What am I missing?
If you pair Homepods to an Apple TV with eARC then when watching sources like Cable/Sat or OTA or Bluray on the TV the audio can be played Homepods.What? This doesn't make any sense. "Source" devices like the AppleTV or a Blu Ray Player don't support ARC or eARC, it's a feature of the TV.
should have moved all the a12 to use a13 chips.Apple likely picked the A12 because it’s cheap and because it’s used in other products - namely the base iPad and Mini. The A13 will likely stop production when the iPhone 12S/13 is released in the fall and the regular 12 is relegated to to the lower cost option, thus discontinuing the 11. And the A14 is bleeding edge technology that is likely too expensive to manufacture for a $170-200 consumer electronic item. (I still wish they’d gone with the A14 though).
that dude should stop worrying about getting new remotes or apple tvs and stuff, and get a 4K tv already!Buy the remote unless you will buy a 4K tv in the next year.
Agreed. The remote is great, but beyond that HFR is the only real difference (and it looks like that might just be a software profile). As a Harmony user that’s not enough. Upgraders don’t even get the free TV+ subscription.Don't really see much point upgrading tbh from existing ATV4K
Look no further than this brand of cables : AudioQuestAre there any good hdmi cables that fully support 2.1? All the ones I see on Amazon have mixed reviews for people trying to use with PS5/Xbox.
