Apple

Just buy it. Can’t see how much better the new one will be. Maybe faster processor for gaming. But who cares. If you want to upgrade later, just sell your old one.

I would see it more on the content side of things. Is there anything you like to access now that the Apple TV offers? Then yeah it’s worth it. Also check if your TV has Apple TV already.

The new one will be a modest boost to the a16 chip, and might have WiFi 6e, but that’s it. It will have the Dolby atmos, Dolby vision and hdr 10 that the older, cheaper Apple TV will have.

Maybe they can the volume on it cause it's so low smh

Buy it

I kinda want a bigger storage option, my kids love playing Apple Arcade games but they are limited with how many they can put on it.

Rumor is the new one will have a price cut and be out in the first half of next year, so if you can wait, I would.

What do you want from the next one, to be considering waiting for something that hasn’t even been announced yet? Do you really need one if you’re willing to gamble on something that uncertain?

I’m perfectly happy with my Apple TV 4K 2022 A15 4GB RAM and 128GB storage.

I still use the Apple TV HD (with the first Siri remote) 💪🏽🤪✌🏽

I actually just returned the latest one.

My LGCX ATV app looked better than the Apple TV, for some reason it just wouldn’t get as a good a WiFi signal.

My PS5, Shield and OLED all stream fine but the ATV wouldn’t ever get a good picture

Not a lot to look forward to in a refresh, remote seems like it'll stay after the silent USB C update. Faster processor of course, maybe they'll redo pricing again but if anything they'll remove more than the Ethernet port for the cheaper model. Faster processor is always nice, but won't have any real world impact. Add to that there's no guarantee the new models are that close, they tend to release in the fall, I'd buy now personally.

I bought the first new generation and then the second new generation both had issues with Dolby Atmos, they still do. Moved on to NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro Streaming Media Player. At 200 dollars US it isn't cheap but it's the best out there. Its 4k upscaling cannot be beaten.

Might be worth it to wait and see what the reviews are for the new features. If you don’t like the new features you can buy an older model for cheaper.

I’m in the same boat. IMO if you need one now, go buy one. They are great devices with powerful processors. If you’re happy to use your current set up for another 6 months, then wait. I’m planning to wait.

Honestly since I got the newer version of the 4k box it’s been nothing but issues with connectivity and remote problems, with only temporary workarounds. I have a Roku 4k stream stick that dogs the Apple TV and it was only $30

my nvidia shield (2018 or so) died this weekend so I had to get one. came today and I love it. does what the shield did (kodi > infuse) with home and other extra apple stuff

A lot of the rumors point to a cheaper variant of the Apple TV (like the fire stick) and also another variant that will have a screen and/or speaker like the firecube. They don’t sound that credible to me tho.

There will always be a new one around the corner 🤷‍♂️ if you really want one now then go for it.

What are you using now?
