They better keep an ethernet port on at least one of the versions.
I didn't even think of that being an option and if this happens, damn you for speaking it into existence
I'm obsessed with hardwiring everything. Which is a challenge or problem when you have no idea how to run cabling in walls etc lol
I can't say I've ever watched anything on Apple TV+, nothing looks decent!
You're really missing out! Silo is amazing, stick with it! For all Mankind was great for the first couple seasons. Severance is supposed to be awesome along with several other really good shows. Coda was an incredible movie, everyone should watch it. They don't have the quantity Netflix does but almost everything they have is good to really good.
Who is ever first with AV1 support be it a new apple tv or new nvidia shield I will buy 2. All my other apple devices support av1 and i would like to switch my server from H265 to AV1 or just jump straight to H266.
We aren't getting another Shield
I'm all in for AV1 support though, mostly give us audio passthrough and all DV profiles for local files
Just cause almost nobody has an 8k TV doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. With that logic we’d never get to 6k monitors or any advancements in tech.
Plus it’s absolutely worth it if you have recordings in 8k+
If you’ve seen true 8k content on an 8k TV it’s beautiful.
bro chill on the 8K lol
TV is still 720p. If you're lucky you're getting programs in 1080p, but thats not even the standard as plenty of things/sources are 720p. Lot's of stuff isn't even available in 4k streaming. Almost zero sports content is 4k, most football/sports are 720p. That's slowly changing to 1080p with some rare 4k sprinkled in. 4k isn't even the standard on streaming content. Plenty of shows/docs aren't in 4k.
4K has been a thing between 10-20 years depending on when you want to say it started, and we are probably nowhere near 50% of content even being available in 4k. I'm sure a huge % of people that watch stuff in 4k don't even know it or wouldn't notice a difference. 8K content isn't coming anywhere near soon to justify paying for 8K stuff. Sony used it as marketing on the PS5 box and they even removed it. Honestly 8k may never really come. People won't be able to tell the difference, it will costs too much, file sizes will be insane with little benefit, lots of 4k movies aren't even real 4k-especially non CGI/animated stuff. The jump from 4K>8K isn't going to be near the previous jumps we've seen. Average people won't have ways to watch it either.
I'm Mr Give me the 100% best quality on earth possible. Biggest most expensive OLED, 100% OG quality pure uncompressed 4k Dolby Vision with Atmos...but 8k isn't anywhere close to even thinking about being a thing. Probably never will be.
That’s not how margin’s work. Also there is no way Apple is going to offer a $50 ATV. They don’t market to the low cost tier, like ever.
Optical doesn’t support Atmos. I’m pretty darn happy with Atmos out of the the ATV4K and I have a discrete Atmos setup, not some soundbar upfiring BS. Either way, optical is dead to most with HDMI being king. I’ve had optical and I don’t miss it, too limited these days.
Ya Apple isn't doing that. I'd be moderately surprised if we get a $99 one. That's been rumored for years without happening. apple isn' in the business of offering mediocre product that noticeably isn't that great out of the box. Apple always has great margins and of many reasons I just don't see them offering a poverty streamer or something that cheap.
