I got my ATV4K refurbished from Apple a few months ago and it’s the best streaming device I’ve used. I love the TV app integration with up next etc. Nothing comes close to this.
Got a tip for us?

"What does Apple really want? As a consumer, I'm totally confused."
The answer, "Cash, Cash, and more Cash" until the well runs dry. Then it is time for the exec's to move on.
Fact: The Apple TV is fine as it is. "Extra Ram" and Faster chip" is getting redundant and boring.
I have 2 TV’s in the house, both OLED, both with the lates Apple TV 4K. Both refurbished from Apple. I love both of them but the price points are too high. I’d like to see an Apple TV Stick or something similar to make it easy to hide the device. The current remote is great.
Not really sure who this is aimed at. The only thing I upgrade now is for bitstream audio and more Dolby vision profiles. They won’t do that so I’m out and will stick to the shield.
Gaming? Yeah right.
I don’t see what’s left for the needed power. 8k? Why?
They would be better off just making the current one cheaper than shoving newer internals into it to ‘validate’ the price. Pretty sure a cheaper version would get more sales.

Until there is a safari in it, I definitely won't buy it.
That sounds good for people who use it for gaming but I'm not sure it would be possible at the suggested lower price point.
I agree, considering that most streaming content is still HD, it's hard to get excited about 8k.
I have the Apple TV for myself and 4 kids have the fire stick. It honestly does the same thing for way less but I’m loyal to apple
That’s one feature (Find My support for the remote). Everything else is just specs. Why do I need a faster SoC with more RAM on an Apple TV? Does it make TV show writing better? The current one is already quite overpowered for what people actually do with it.
I honestly don’t care about any of these features. My first gen Apple TV 4K is more than fast enough, and I use the remote app on my iPhone instead of the physical remote.
What I do want to see is a HomePod/Apple TV combo with a mic and camera built in for FaceTime and Siri support. A soundbar would be amazing too, that can be paired with HomePod minis for surround sound

There are only a few Apple devices with such wasted potential. The gaming support is simply ridiculous. What do you need more RAM and CPU power for?
They need to ‘do a’ HomePod mini; reduce the price dramatically (I’d say $99 but that’s probably in dream land) and focus on fewer things better. Apple’s current valuation of the Apple TV is based from the notion that users will, for instance, use it as a games console in addition to the other features, which is about as likely as me flying to the moon with Tom Cruise.
Kuo has been wrong more times than not since the iPhone 12. I wouldn’t call him reputable any more…
I’d like to be able to view my photos in HDR.
I’d like spatial audio with dynamic head tracking.
I’d like Dolby Vision to look as good with the Apple TV as it does on native apps on my TV (I get some banding with the Apple in very dark areas, but transitions between dark areas are smooth on the TV’s built-in apps.)

Aka,..Apple has an oversupply of the A14's to use up & this is their best option. Please explain why I need a faster Apple TV? I can already move through the UI as fast as I press..
That’s going to need to be in addition to a “normal” Apple TV version, or you’re going to make a whole lot of people who already have surround sound systems of one sort or another pretty unhappy.
Boring is right…
Come up with something new here. The suggestions above about combining home and tv are great. Sound bar would be nice.
Make the refresh cycle 3 years for Apple TV and make the previous gen $79 when new gen is released.
👊😬👍

My Apple TV 4K from 2017 has slowed down for sure. There are times when it just spins and I have to close out all the apps open. The A14 and 4GB of RAM would help tremendously.
What’s it need 120 for? no movies are in 120. Maybe for games but thats about it and rare few games.
youd also need a 120hz tv. It’s rather pointless it a set top box. Not a gaming console.
