    I don’t understand you guys in the comments. It’s really cheap yet you guys are complaining as if it’s a 1000 dollars+ tech that can do everything lmao.

    Not really anything to get excited about. A faster CPU isn’t going to really improve streaming much. It could enable gaming but that seems like it is premature without any game announcements. Will wait for any official announcement.

      TV interfaces will benefit from any extra speed they can get since it makes switching from app to app faster and makes the interface overall less clunky. Apple TV is already faster than any other streaming device or TV is out there but any amount faster is always better. Cell phones are pretty much the same now too, there really hasn’t been much innovation over the last 5 years.

        This! Of course a faster CPU is beneficial on a streaming device. The UI on most streaming devices is absolute torture compared to an ATV. Obviously once you’re in a show or movie there isn’t a much to be gained by a faster CPU but when I want to launch an app, I don’t want to wait around for 20secs for it to launch. I’ve got an ATV-HD and an ATV-4K2. I’d probably get the ATV-4K4 and shuffle my other two around the house.

    I’ll only get a new apple tv once they get trueHD support, otherwise I’ll stick with my 2nd gen 4k

      Wtf are you talking about? Apple Lossless(literally in the name), FLAC (L stands for lossless), AIFF (the format CDs use), and WAV are literally lossless formats.

    I literally just bought a 3rd gen 4k, which is probably why this post got suggested to me. Did I fuck up by not waiting?

    My 4k Apple TV is the worst piece of tech I’ve bought in the last 10 years. Would buy again.

      I still have an HD and a 4K. It looks like I need another AppleTV to use with a TV on the porch as well as extend/improve coverage for a HomeKit smart lock, so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone in this case.

      Apple got it real quick fighting Roku you don’t force people to upgrade streaming boxes every year. Or years.
