To everyone complaining about the remote: you can already use nearly any remote you want to. Either another device’s remote through HDMI/CEC (I use my receiver’s remote this way, works great) or you can go in the settings and teach it the codes for any IR remote.
It never worked for me. It tries to control the TV and the ATV at the same time. The odd time that it did work it kept forgetting the settings and then did nothing resulting in hard resets of EVERYTHING and trying again and again until I gave up.
Weird, CEC works great for me. Navigation and playback controls, menu and back, all passed through to ATV, and anything receiver-specific works as expected. No setup, just turned on CEC on each device.
I have a 3rd gen. I really do not see the need here. Apple would have been better off holding off until next year and adding an A19 Pro and 12GB of RAM.
I certainly hope they don't add a camera. Focus should be on to streamline all paid streaming services. So i dont need to open each crappy app individually to watch a movie or series. And also focus on gaming. I mean theyre chip is more powerful than switch and that console has lot of great games adapted to it. So it sure is possible. Just don't get it. Apple loves money. The gaming industry is a massive, multibillion-dollar sector, with worldwide revenue projected to reach approximately $522.46 billion in 2025 and grow to $733.22 billion by 2030. Im sure shareholders would approve. Since that seems to be all Apple cares about today.
while i'm super committed to the apple ecosystem, my nvidia shield tv pro still crushes anything i throw at. i have tbs of external HDs hooked up to it and kodi plays everything flawlessly. i'll still probably grab one for all the other tvs in my house once i set up a jellyfin server.
Is it gonna have a USB-C port on it? I could use one or two of those for charging a remote or for sending info / data to a monitor.
P.S. Would be nice to just have a cable around to charge a remote or an iPhone. Or to hook up a keyboard/mouse.

I think they will announce the next resident evil on Mac/iOS soon. There is a screen shot of what appears to be the next Resident Evil running on the Mac. I doubt they announce any streaming apps for gaming.
Quotes for those game sales seem to be quite low, yet Square Enix and Capcom keep coming back for more so there must be some money in premium mobile titles.
That, and they've started monitoring you and what you see so they can monetize it. My smart-Tv is not connected to a network except for the occasional update.
Niether is mine but the remote and the interface are still like crawling through treacle. In all the years I've had an Apple TV I've never had a problem with it. Its easily my favourite Apple product: slick and to the point.
I still think Apple is looking at using the A18 instead of the A17 Pro SoC. The A18 is still in production for the iPhone 16e and some iPhone 16 models still in production, so...
Love my AppleTVs, I’m curious what the selling point for it being slightly faster but still not fast enough to really be a game console is. overall what the selling points for upgrading will be.
I’d almost prefer getting Front row back in Mac OS and be able to pair an AppleTV with a mac. An M4 Mac Mini would make a nice media machine and allow for some games.

The real question for the new 2025 Apple TV is.
“Can it run Crysis?” Or “Can it run GTA 6?”

I don’t have this problem with my 2nd gen 4k Apple TV. But I don’t use many apps. Probably 6 3rd party app. All streaming apps
Getting really tired of waiting for this. Add a super small speaker on the Apple Remote to help us find it when it’s lost, instead of having to rely on using a lagging sonar in the remote app.
Also getting really tired of waiting for the HomePod mini gen2.

I have all the ATV 4ks spread around. I don't have any cable TV services now. I love it connected to my plex server. 6936 movise and 480 tv series and counting. What I need now is more codec support. I didn't think I'd be able to but I honestly can tell a difference between the latest one and the ones before it as far as speed goes. So I'm pretty happy about a new one. I'll probably grab 4. It's the most used device after my phone.
