tvOS on Apple TV 2/3

I agree also, want the new aTV with a true Plex app and the ac wireless. Expecting to hear soon the app is on the way. When it debuts and has been reviewed positively I will jump in, but not before. Hey, the aTV3 and Plexconnect are running today so no rush...

I'm sure they'll be so upset.

What's wrong with the new one? It will be much better than my ATV3.

Because, why should I pay the minimum $149 just to get the same functionality that I already have in my current ATV? I don't play games and I don't care about Apple Music. What else is there besides the updated interface? Is that worth $149?

Apps? I don't care about apps on my TV. My Smart TV has apps and I've never installed any in the one year I've had the TV.

The HTML5 plugin thingies for netflix/hulu etc and more could become obsolete in a year or two and stop functioning.

So you pay $69 now. Then pay $100 or so in the future for a discounted, refurb, or used AppleTV4 so you have appstore and access to updated apps. And then you've paid more than now and Apple laughs to the bank.

But good luck to you 🙂

I have no problem keeping my ATV2.
 
I hope they put out an update for the the Apple TV 3 - pretty rubbish for those of us who have bought them if there is no update. Hopefully a skin + a few new features (obviously not Siri and apps though).
 
Apple said they put an A8 processor in the new ATV. The old ones certainly didn't have a CPU that beefy.
 
I'm sure there's going to be an update to unify the OS look and add Apple Music. Especially since they will continue to sell the device, they need to keep a unified interface. I'm guessing it will either update when iOS 9 releases or when the ATV4 starts shipping.
