If they remove the fan I bet it will end up overheating.

[–] HandsomedanNZ@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It already had the fan removed and it doesn’t.

I want the remote to play a sound for when I lose it

[–] Comfortable_Client80@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You can look for it with your iPhone, it really is working fine!

[–] Danoli77@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So basically it’s the same. 🤦🏻‍♂️ more storage that really isn’t lacking. More processing that also isn’t lacking and probably the same price which is a big weakness. They should do a version of the old Wii Nintendo used to make. Put an accelerometer in the remote or maybe even allow you to use the phone as a controller. You could have 4K tennis experience in front of your appleTV and if they tied it to apple fitness with the watch it would be a real competitive offering that keeps people engaged in the ecosystem and provides new value. Come on Tim Cook think differently for once!

The Apple TV remote could really use a mute button

Will they fix the “new” remote and its constant disconnection.

[–] UncleSpellbinder@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I have the Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen from last year with the "new" usb -c remote. I got it Nov 14, 2022. Never had an issue with the remote disconnecting.

Since everyone else is sharing anecdotes: my 4k broke after 4 or 5 years. I still bought a new 4k because you can’t beat the damn thing in terms of streaming boxes. It is by a wide margin, the GOAT.

Same here. Just stopped working one day, no lights, no video output, nothing. Tried replacing the power supply which did nothing so now it's nothing more than a paper weight.

But to your point, when it worked it was so much better than any other alternative.

Hi-Res audio output, so we can at least utilize their Hi-Rez audio

[–] MellowDramaticWhale@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Didnt they just update the Apple TV 4K a couple years ago? Maybe it was just the controller though.....

Honestly It performs perfectly fine. Not sure why it needs a refresh yet.

[–] UncleSpellbinder@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen was released 1 year ago (November 4, 2022).

[–] rasstar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They need to allow passthrough audio.

[–] GozuTashoya@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I just bought a Shield Pro, so it's guaranteed that the next Apple TV will do Atmos passthrough.

[–] RedditAnoymous@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Click bait.. “new cpu” 🤦

[–] vinnyv0769@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Switched to Roku years ago and never looked back. Very happy with the way Roku supports their older models. I’m still using a Roku 3 that is supported for all apps.

[–] MustardMatt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was about to buy the 4K 128GB Ethernet one this month, is it worth holding out then?

[–] Xintros@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Based on this info? I wouldn’t be waiting.

If the 2024 ATV implements the three things below, they will takeover the stream box market:

  1. Support for Dolby True HD and DTS MA Audio Codecs
  2. Ability to host Plex server locally
  3. Upgrade DAC processing to support 48/192
