I have HD. It is fast and smooth for me. How it is laggy? I am just curious, is newer Apple TV that much faster make HD seem slow? My Apple TV HD is super fast compare to Roku and everything else TV related.I really couldn't tell any difference in the presentation. There was a bit of transparency, and that was it.
....so, I wouldn't bother upgrading for this.
My first gen 4k doesn't lag, but I do remember the HD being pretty slow.

My Apple TV 4K has the brilliant black Touch Remote. Is that the first generation model?
I don't care for the new look. But it would be still nice to receive an update for my Apple TV this year 🤞.
It may only be the glass UI that is unavailableIsn’t the HD still compatible?
I see. We have Roku HD and Roku 4K here (4K is plugged in using ethernet) and it just so sloooooooow compare my Apple TV HD (also plugged in using ethernet). Apps take like 10-30 seconds to load to get main screen while my Apple TV HD like few secs, never more than 10 secs max if app playing up.I could tell a big difference when I got our 4k over HD that we had previously. Had I not used the new one, I might not have noticed.
Our current living room Roku seems faster than the 4k, and so it's been relegated to our exercise room.
You like the touch remote? I've hated in since day one.

Now that I am reading it, I think they may be compatible but the glass UI feature is not available. Kinda odd.Good catch
It was rumored that the HD would continue on with latest OS support.
That might have been a sneaky way to flesh out a leaker there.
It's the worst. I was trying to be sarcastic. Never works in Internet forums, of course. My bad.You like the touch remote? I've hated in since day one.
It makes sense Apple TV+ is a tab in the tv app besides the store. The app is wheee most tv content is consolidated in. Amazon does the same thing. It’s also what Apple does with most of its subscriptions. Just about every app that has both streaming and content that can be bought separately has a unified appBefore someone asks what changes should Apple Make to TVOS, I do have a few ideas:
1. Seperate the Apple TV app with the Itunes App. All the streaming apps focus on their streaming shows and stuff. Apple TV+ should do the same. Then with an Itunes app, you can have the store, the Watchlist, and incorporate everything into your watchlist and try to convince Netflix to be included
2. Diminish the size of the apps so you can fit more on the top shelf. I love the top shelf and getting previews above of what they offer. Make use of that better.
3. Selfishly, make Apple Music work with Last.fm (Maybe a Last.fm app) so I can listen to Apple Music on the TV and it will count those stats in Last.fm like it does on the phone
4. Make an app multiview, so when there are sports on Peacock, Netflix, Youtube TV, and ESPN at the same time that I want to watch, it streamlines the experience
5. Fix Apple Intelligence for TV and what I want to watch. Give me recommendations based on my watch history on apps and list things that might be interesting on all the apps together. I have a hard time finding something to watch. I should use AI to stream line that decision making process and narrow down my choices.
I'm sure there are others, but basically, we have had TVOS for over 10 years and it's the same thing every year. Bring it into the future. Incorporate it with your other OS's, like vision or IOS. Give TVOS some love because today I'm really thinking about leaving it behind and seeing what other options offer.
I agree, out of all the places — tvOS is very tame.I really couldn't tell any difference in the presentation. There was a bit of transparency, and that was it.

Another touch remote lover here. I have the 4K 3rd gen model myself but at my girlfriends house I frequently use the touch remote and love it.I could tell a big difference when I got our 4k over HD that we had previously. Had I not used the new one, I might not have noticed.

C´mon the 4K 1st Gen still works great! You're telling me it can´t handle the Liquid Glass?
At least we finally get profiles that seem useful. That’s a big one for me. Only thing I’m still pining for is lossless bitstream passthrough.I'm so disappointed in the TVOS "updates". They still stagnate what I think is there best OS and it's sad. You can do a lot with Apple TV, yet Apple feels like they ignore it. It just seems like I hope every year for something new and every year is a missed opportunity.

The iPhone microphone really completes the Apple Music Sing feature. Dang I guess I need to upgrade my Apple TV now. Maybe I’ll wait until 4K gen 4 comes out.Enhanced Apple Music Sing with iPhone microphone support requires an Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) and an iPhone 11 or newer
The new profiles pop up when it wakes so kids can pick their profile and I don’t have to see their shows in my watch nextI thought we had profiles. I guess these are Profiles specifically for the Apple TV+ app?
One can only hope at this point. Maybe it’ll come out for Xmas, but I’m not holding my breath.Surely this points to an upcoming new model?
