Rumours have it that there’s a new Apple TV 4K coming in the first half of next year. Would it be worth waiting for it or buying now?

Buy it
I still use the Apple TV HD (with the first Siri remote) 💪🏽🤪✌🏽
I’m perfectly happy with my Apple TV 4K 2022 A15 4GB RAM and 128GB storage.
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 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
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
I went and bought one today to use with my BenQ X3000i projector. It does HDR10, Atmos (though yes not the better lossless version) all at 4k60 which is what my projector supports anyway. It already beats using my Xbox Series X as my media streaming device and I was quite surprised at how well AirPlay screen mirroring from my MacBook works.
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.
I’m still using the 1st generation apple tv 4k( 2017 ) and i have nothing to complain
It doesn’t support continuity camera
Do you use the YouTube app? I just upgraded to the latest 4K gen from the first generation 4K and it’s so much better. That app was getting unusable because it was so slow and non responsive.
Interesting. We use the YouTube app for hours every day and have 0 issues or lag. Apple TV 4K 1st gen, had it for 6 years.
Yes every day. It runs fine.
The youtube app is super laggy on my first gen 4K.
If you plan to game on it I’d wait or buy now and sell when the new one comes out. If you just stream then buy now.
I have the latest ATV and my son and I play Lego Brawls together. When we play for about 30-40 minutes straight it starts to overheat and has lag spikes. Not terrible but enough that if you play games I’d keep getting the latest and greatest. They are only like $100 on sale and you can move old ones to different tvs.
you can move old ones to different tvs
My son has our first gen 4k ATV for this reason.
What is thread?
Smart home standard.
What website is that ?
Macrumors roundup page
Do you need an Apple TV now or when a new one is announced? That’s the question. I’d just buy now and use the new one in another room if you find value in the next model.
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.
