    I bought my first one in 2012 and replaced it in 2020. I still have several years to go on this one.

      Yep, on the 2015 model and as long as the software supports it and my 15 year old TV doesn’t fail(to need a 4k replacement), I’ll continue to use mine.

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

      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.

    I use my 2022 4K ATV everyday and there’s not a lot more I want/need it do really.

    Audio pass-through for Plex would be nice.

      Holy crap yes please, plus I wouldn’t mind a 256gb model. My kids love playing Arcade games but I have a 64Gb model and I can only have a few games on at a time.

      Only thing I really wish it had, that it never will, is a USB port to plug in a hard drive.

      I just got mine two weeks ago and absolutely love it. I think the only thing lacking is AV1 codec support.

        If one, lets say, accessed someone else’s Plex library, would this app work?

        Yeah don’t see them putting such a new processor next year. Maybe in 2025. That would be the only reason worth upgrading if you got the new apple tv 4ks from the last few years.

          A lot of us are still using 2015 era AppleTV’s, if your TV isn’t 4k, not much season to upgrade. 1st generation 4k’s are hitting 5 years old now.

          I know some folks on the AV forums seem to upgrade TV’s every 2 years but most people are on more like a 10 years or until it dies cycle.

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

    Is this the most usless Apple product to upgrade?

    I’m with a first generation Apple tv 4k and I don’t see any real reason to upgrade.

        Yeah HomeKit use is definitely worth upgrading and was a big part of me getting an Apple TV when looking for a new streaming device. Also because the latest 4k model 128gb version also has thread on board. It may not be used widely yet, but accessories are starting to trickle out with thread and it’s nice to have a powerful HomeKit hub with thread built in that they could connect to. Camera performance is a lot better with Apple TV as a hub than my HomePod as the hub.

      Whenever there is talk about atv upgrades, the threads are full of people talking about crazy decoding and hdrs and dolby atomics and whatever the hell features. I must be the only person who has an old 1080 TV (11 years) that mostly just streams regular shows.

      I even have a plex server I play from on my AppleTV for ethically sourced movies and TV, but I don’t care about anything really other than “does it look weird or super pixelated”.

    Just saved you 2 minutes of your life.

    Lower price, newer chip, a tad bit smaller, a nice bit lighter.

    Apple needs to bring serious gaming to the Apple TV, way more storage, and release an Apple gaming controller.

      My bet is that they’ll bring over RE4, RE Village and Death Stranding. I found it odd that they’re announcing these tier 1 games, but only on iPhone and iPad, when these games were all originally console games, and they weren’t announced on Apple’s (closest to a console device) AppleTV with the PS and Xbox controller support.
