I am looking forward to WiFi 7, if it is on this unit, I have had my WiFi7 router for 3 years, and I live in a WiFi congested neighborhood and I have been migrating slowly to the 6ghz radio frequency, a super less users, so better performance. This would be my first Apple TV, have been using a Google TV unit for 4 years, and have been waiting for a unit with better networking, was thinking about a Amazon fire cube, but it only has WiFi 6e so a jump to WiFi 7 would give me a high performance stream box for many more years.
Honestly, who uses FaceTime on an Apple TV? I really want to see features that justify changing the model because if it's a new chip, it's not worth it 🤷🏻♂️
Sadly not this year
nothing about a new apple tv in the keynote yesterday
Guardians fan noyceee wonder what part of CLE he’s from
I don't like the idea of cameras watching me at all times in my own home, call me paranoid. Plus I have only FaceTimed people two to three times ever. I'm the type of person who would end up putting tape over the camera, even if it had the option to turn it off.
Maybe instead of a wifi/Lan option like on the current production maybe they could release a camera or non camera option's. (IF they are installing a camera)
Make it compatible with Xbox game pass
