Really? Apple is getting trashed for Disney not releasing 4k content?

No one before was being blamed for Disney's decisions.  Why now?

Having my HD videos turn into 4k videos for FREE is the killer feature.

That alone will pay for the ATV 4k

Well, not really "free" since the device costs twice as much as the competition. The 4K fee is cooked into the price of the unit.

I have 20 movies on iTunes that will be 4k for free. Those cost $10 extra on other services.

$10 x 20 = $200

Like I said they pay for my Apple TV.

And from now on all major releases on iTunes will have 4k.

The competition does not cost half the price. Roku Ultra is $99. The ATV is $179.  That's 70% more not DOUBLE.

So what do you get for the extra $79?

1. Touchpad remote

2. More onboard storage

3. Much faster CPU

4. Better UI, better App store, better intergation with Apple services

....I already explained this shit to him.

No it’s not “cooked” into the price. Do the math and Apple TV is worth $200. What do you expect the price to be? $50 for a gaming console, 4k Dolby Vision/Atmos streamer, Apple ecosystem, Siri remote?

Using your argument, I have 260 movies.
260 x $20 = $5,200

$5,200 - $200 = A $5,000 value!!

Apple doesn’t have a villain CEO twisting his mustache as he watches the world on a monitor. If they did, the Siri remote wouldn’t have gotten a price drop, 4k movies wouldn’t be priced as HD and I don’t know, we wouldn’t have gotten free 4k movies?!

Here we go again TIMOTHY JAMES COOK.

I mean seriously!!!

WTF are all your workers doing!!!

First the Watch is missing its #1 key feature.

Now the ATV is missing its #2 key feature?

How screwed up is this place?  Did Timmy have 100% of the staff work on the iPhoneX?  WTF.

1. Apple Watch has LTE problems

2. ATV does not support Dolby Atmos

3. iPhoneX is delayed over 6 weeks

4. iPhone 8 came out on time.......because its basically the iPhone 6ss.  How to screw that up.

Why are you complaining about problems they’re fixing?

This is awesome news! Most people were bashing Apple TV for lack of Atmos support now they’ll have to run to the next pettty problem. 

This is the most dull "update" ever. I guess the real feature is to run 4k. 

If true this will turn from "#StealGate Apple is doomed!!" To "who cares?"

I doubt these rich guys had FitBits. Seriously.

I predict that soon Apple Watch will be the category name for smartwatches just like iPod was for MP3 players.

I'd hope so. iPhone was supposed to be that way but android knocked it off really fast.

I have predicted that all smartwatches will look identical to Apple Watch just like Macs, iPads and iPhones. All these experimental "innovations" are gonna go away and everything will be like Apple(AGAIN). 

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm still looking for an interesting use of AR. Thus far the only one I have seen is Star Guide mentioned in the keynote, that displays constellations and planet positions over the real sky. Having virtual monsters run around on a table or masks appearing on my face seems gimmicky. 

Digital measuring tape.
