It would make for an excellent retro console system emulator, and there's a not-small market for that.
Got a tip for us?

For a device most people stuff in a media cabinet?
I love colors, but this is not a product that needs color options.
I’ll believe it when I see it! Same promise happens every year and nothing ever is announced. Been waiting 3 yrs for new Apple TV.. ⏳😅
I dont hide my atv. Its in the center of my lowboard, like a champ
Edit and i control it via my tv remote, so hiding the atv is not what i want
Will we finally get to deliver HiRez audio (24/192) via HDMI to an external DAC or a home theater receiver/procesdor?
Crazy that there is still no way to do this from an existing Apple device short of directly connecting a Mac to your receiver

I also think the A18 will be cpu of choice - mainly in the event that Apple reuse the existing fanless case as the A17 pro supposedly runs hotter.
Using their own WiFi chip will reduce costs for Apple.
I mean, you’re not wrong but I’ve yet to not be able to find it fairly quickly with its nearby, oh you’re really close, accuracy. Doesn’t need to be pinpoint, I’ve found.
Unfortunately my wife and son discard the remote with such reckless abandon the instant they are done with it, and my wife keeps enough cushions and blankets on the sofa to furnish a small hotel that looking for the remote without an airtag is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Please….and update the movie audio files to their original format as applicable…

Atoms has done its job, but about 50% of the movies out there from the last 30 years were originally done in DTS.
Now streaming: DTS:X - DTS
DTS recently launched a new DTS:X codec developed specifically for streaming applications.

One or two strangely negative comments on here. The Apple TV4K is my favourite Apple device (and I am deep into the ecosystem) It is a superb STB/Media Player and has revolutionised TV watching and music listening in this house and never with any problems. One thing it is not is 'unreliable'. I doubt there could be a more solid bit of home tech. Having said that, whether just a spec bump or not, I will not upgrading my Apple TV's because I fail to see the advantages at this stage. But for anyone new to the market...go for it.
You might have this kind of problem if you have a major electrical fault in your house. A few years ago, we had a burnt out neutral supply on our street pole. It was a lovely sight in the middle of the night, with plenty of sparks lighting up the street.
In the aftermath, my Apple TV was really crashy and needed to be replaced. Likewise, a Nest smoke alarm.
I can’t blame Apple for any of that, though.
Any plans for it to support more than 2 Bluetooth connections, one of which is the remote? Would be great if could support more, as a normal Apple device does.
More picture in picture options would be nice too.
I use it extensively for a virtual cycling app called Zwift that these features would really improve the experience.

...and a not-small amount of existing competition - including the ultra-cheap Raspberry Pi and several "mini" look-alike reproductions of classic consoles and 8-bit computers. Plus a legal grey area around some of the game images that change hands that Apple probably wouldn't want to get in to.
Still, Apple have a wonderful opportunity to release a small, cheap computer and call it the Apple Pi
This does not sound normal. Have you tried resetting it to factory and starting over? I have had my AppleTV going since the day I bought it and have not had any of the issues you are experiencing. I know antidotal, but this doesn't sound right.
This is the one big thing I am waiting for!!!!
The reason for the A18 is that I expect Apple to continue iPhone 16/16 Plus production for at least one more year, and that means there will be plentiful supplies of the A18 SoC. And it helps the A18 that it will support WiFi 7 (802.11be).
Try having a cat, or having a female partner who has a reckless attitude to remotes.
Fortunately I’ve always managed to find my Apple TV remote, but the amount of times I had to replace her Fire stick TV remote is enough to weep.
As someone with a 10 yr old lcd tv that streams movies on my Mac just fine directly to my tv, and uses its apps (like Netflix and such that are built into the tv), can someone pls explain to me the purpose of the ATV (or Rokus or Shield Pros etc. for that matter)? Aren’t those devices what my existing tv already does?? 🤔
