ABC here: Anything But Chrome!I'd rather have Firefox.
As for Apple TV (or any smart tv/device)... one that's not watching me has a value of its own.
ABC here: Anything But Chrome!I'd rather have Firefox.
This article made me realise that my HD Apple TV, bought in 2015, is my oldest working Apple device. It is still fast enough to run all my streaming software on the latest version of TVOS and act as a home hub. I don’t foresee a need to update until my HD TV breaks and I upgrade to 4K. I reckon Apple TV is the best value product that they make 🎉My 2015 Apple TV HD is still getting updates. Unfortunately other devices I purchased after that are not.![]()
I expect it to support console gaming, but I have a feeling most who purchase it won’t use it for that. For streaming which is probably what most use their current ones for, the A15 is already overkill and faster than competitors from Amazon, Google and Roku. If you’re a gamer, you already have a superior setup (by a huge margin) with your PC/PS5/PS5 Pro/Xbox Series X. Gaming with Apple is like putting your feet into poor fitting shoes.
Not necessarily all console games, but at least add support for the titles already on the App Store. Assassins Creed and Resident Evil Village would be great on a bigger screen.
I don't think that's a good idea - content producers (here: games) need volume.This is why I mentioned 2 versions should be available.
Apple TV A18 128GB $149.99
and
Apple TV Pro M4 1TB $399.99 for gamers.
Upgraded SIRI only available on newer boxes would not surprise meExpecting no major changes other than a processor update.

The only way building in a camera works is if you position your AppleTV immediately center and just above or below your TV set. Anywhere else- which is where many put their AppleTVs- and the camera benefit starts suffering. For example, I store my AppleTV on a shelf maybe 8 feet to the right of the TV. If it had a FaceTime camera and I'm looking at who I'm talking to on the screen, they would be seeing me look far right of them.
And then there's the many who make their AppleTVs disappear BEHIND their TV or in a cabinet... for which a built-in camera could "see" nothing.
The best option along these lines would be to put a "normalized" USB port back on the box and let it have the capability to attach a USB camera that could be mounted on the TV. Then, people could have the box anywhere and place the camera in the ideal spot too.
Else, open up continuity camera so it can be a more permanent wireless solution instead of leaning on iDevices that tend to leave their household with their owners. Think of something like the ancient iSight camera perhaps powered by a USB jack on the TV or a USB block plugged in behind the TV somewhere.
I like the target of this idea myself... but there are much better implementations than building a camera into the box. That option would only work for a few who happen to place their AppleTV box visibly and ideally right above or right below the center of their TVs.
My 2021 model is still going strong. Only upgrades I'd want is for the screen to stop going black when framerate/resolution is changed, and 120hz/ProMotion for the entire tvOS would be essential
Hoping for an Apple TV with active cooling, more RAM, and larger storage option.
Get rid of the blackout when switching refresh rates, newest tv’s can now do this.
My only upgrade wish is that it is more reliable so I don’t have to reboot it almost every day and reinstall apps on a regular basis.
Many want to put a replacement wherever they have the current one now. For some, that’s towards either ideal spot for this purpose. For others, this would be a big change to where they want it. Rephrasing your response…Considering how small the Apple TV is, if it had a camera, would it really be such a big deal to place it by the TV?
