Useful for those who mount it behind their screens, however I like the fact my 2021 Apple TV is a bit hefty.
Makes it feel more premium and substantial.

Are you serious? Are iPads and iPhones installed behind TVs or in cabinets while running at full power? TF?
That is a huge weight saving for shipping pallets of them.
Yeah, whatever I have I need to velcro to the back of my wall-mounted TV and the existing Apple 4K was way too thick. I could have gotten the old 1080p one but a Roku 4K stick seemed better at the time.
I'm getting one of these!
Is there any use buying this if you:
A) Already have an Apple TV HD? and;
B) Don’t have a 4k TV (but have plans to get one eventually)?
I only use it to watch shows on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I don’t play music on it much, nor do I game on it. I think that’s because I know that trying to do so will be painful given the old A8 (?) chip in it. If I had more performance behind it I might be tempted to do more with it.

They cut thread support and Ethernet “for the environment”. Anyone who complains doesn’t care about “the environment”.
I guess one could be turned into a belt buckle now that they are so thin and light.
AAPL is a slave to shareholder/analyst expectations of growth.
An outfit like MR is a slave to new eyeballs clicking new things.
It is what it is!
from a gaming perspective, A15 is no slouch. As a Samsung TV owner, I’m glad to see HDR 10+ in this update. However this will require content providers to actually ship content with HDR 10+.
To date , I think Amazon is the only major streaming service offering HDR10+ on some content….. does this mean that Apple TV+ will start streaming also in both Dolby Vis ion AND HDR10+ ???
Hope so!

Well I think we all know why that is!
I took a look at the iPad Pro pricing in the UK. Oh boy. No problem though, we're all loaded in the UK right now. There's absolutely nothing to see, nothing wrong at all, move along, move along!
how faster is compared to the latest Apple TV? Because since brand new, my Apple TV (latest model 'til 8AM today) seems laggy and slow compared to other apple devices.
HDR10+ is the very definition of an also ran. There area handful of 4K discs with it, and I think Amazon verified briefly tried it a few years back. But that's it. Dolby won the battle a long time ago.
It’s like Magic right after it became thicker it becomes thinner again 😂 so now it’s a feature.
iPhones and iPads don’t have a PSU to cool down
This just in: Florida Man’s home set aflame by newly-redesigned fanless Apple TV. More at 11.
A15 doesn't heat up that much. My iPad mini 6 using a A15 barely gets warm.
I would assume 4GB with the A15. But perhaps I’m wrong.
