It actively ruins an evening on the couch... and like the butterfly keyboard Apple seems stubbornly arrogant to change what's clearly broken (or they're measuring just how blindly loyal their users in accepting crap and thinking it's gold).
Multiple rumors have indicated that Apple is working on a refreshed version of the Apple TV, and a report today by Nikkei Asia Review adds to speculation that Apple will release a new version of its set-top box next year.
Exactly. It’s been a long time. They’re not going to keep the designs forever and this would be a good time to change even if they’re minor tweaks. Doesn’t have to be anything major. Who knows.
I think useless is a pretty strong work. Annoying/Frustrating is more like it. There are dozens of threads here and articles on other sites already covering this. I don't care for it and would not buy another AppleTV if they don't significantly change it. My parents (70+) were so frustrated by it they stopped using the AppleTV completely (so I guess you could say that is useless). I bought them a Roku instead.
Mine is working perfect except for no Apple Music support and some glitches with seeing my iCloud photo library (not sure if this is software restricting or some bug...) so I do want tot upgrade. Planing to get a new 4K TV next year and expand my 5.1 living room to Atmos so I'm excited for what a new version could bring.
LOL! Since when is Apple concerned with pricing something to be competitive with the cheaper brands? Literally everything Apple sells is more expensive than an equivalent brand. Apple charges $30-$50 for simple adapters and cables...you expect them to ship something that actually DOES something for $30-$50? LOL!!!
It is all just part of the more efficient rumor generation algorithm which has streamlined news to the point that copywriters have been able to simply use that exact same above quoted as a headline for four straight years now.
