There have been recent rumors. Nobody knows when, though, especially given that any prior plans may have been disrupted by the global pandemic.Can we expect one in the coming months?
Planning to be one very soon and I want to know if I should wait a while...
I’m pretty sure I read that it’s more than rumors now and it was actually found in the code and release is imminent.There have been recent rumors. Nobody knows when, though, especially given that any prior plans may have been disrupted by the global pandemic.

Indeed. Think it’s gonna be a website refresh like the new iPad Pro and MacBook Air and could be any day now. But maybe not lol.Yep, the code “leak” was the source of the rumor. But the timing is completely unknown. And any plans may have been altered based on current circumstances. Though now that everyone is sitting home all day, Apple TV’s might sell well.
Exactly. I would buy a new model immediately provided they change the remote.Yep, the code “leak” was the source of the rumor. But the timing is completely unknown.

If apple was smart, they’d take advantage of the reality of the situation and offer Low cost Apple TV sticks that are plug and play and do the exact same thing. But how low cost can they get when the remote itself cost $60 to replace?Considering we are heading towards depression era unemployment, people won't be spending much money for non essential goods. I doubt we will see a new ATV in 2020. I would also bet the iPhone release will be pushed back, with numbers sold drastically down from 2019.

As I’ve said in several threads live in the here and now, otherwise you’ll always live in the wait for the next iteration mode. Any incremental change would be unnoticed by the vast majority of users. Cheers.
I am not sure about any other company, but there has been plenty of Apple products that were a few years old the did not get a price drop.my issue is that Apple has refused to offer an inkling of a price drop on an item that's now 3 years old. What other company does this?
No one knows for sure, but I don't think the next ATV will be much of an upgrade based off of the rumors. I think it would be more about reducing costs by using the A12 than about better performance. According to the benchmarks, the A10X is about on par with the A12, and I have read that the A10X out performs the A12 when it comes to real world GPU performance.But I can't justify spending $250+ Canadian for a 3-year-old set.
I have read somewhere about Apple selling the ATV4 and ATV4K almost at cost, so I doubt there will be a dramatic price drop on the current model.If they are rolling out a new one, you'd think they'd want to get rid of existing inventory and slash the prices.
I'm not sure that Apple will quickly abandon the current 4k box. They released another update for the third 3rd Gen which came out 8 years ago.A12 might offer about the same performance, but in a few years, the current model will be left out of an update and the new one will receive a new OS version.
Hardware might be similar, but the older will be left behind.
What I meant is that it’ll always be abandoned first than a newer model... They won’t care if this model was sold in 2017 or in 2020... It’ll just be left out of the OS rollout.I'm not sure that Apple will quickly abandon the current 4k box. They released another update for the third 3rd Gen which came out 8 years ago.
I understand but what can the new model offer in terms of streaming? Nothing I can think of.What I meant is that it’ll always be abandoned first than a newer model... They won’t care if this model was sold in 2017 or in 2020... It’ll just be left out of the OS rollout.
so, buying a device now, knowing there are rumours of a new one around the corner, is accepting you'll be left behind earlier..
