  • Fifth generation of Apple TV to bring 4K compatibility, little else - report

    levilevi
    I don't have a problem with this. It means we'll likely see a processor bump, and may imply Apple will begin offering 4K content through iTunes, Music, etc. The device pretty good already. Add in these features along with TV service, and better gaming (ala new processors), you'll have pretty strong system. A price cut of $20-50 would also help move devices. Originally got an Apple TV because it was only $80 ($100 - refurb discount).

    The screenshots above show the example of why Apple Watch decision not to go to round face was absolutely spot on. What a hideous UI those Android round face watches has.
    Wow, no kidding. Watch faces look good, but the way the menus and UI cut-off and get obscured, not good...

    Let me just put in my (possibly worthless) two cents, I think where Apple nailed it is with the bands.  I know with all the other technologies these things offer, putting emphasis on the band is pretty silly right?  Well, not in my opinion.  The thing that makes Apple Watches so appealing outside of their technology is they just look darn awesome with their bands.  There are so many to choose from and Apple does a great thing by showing you a Watch face and colors and complement that band perfectly.  These Android Wear 2.0 watch while cool...I think don't have very appealing bands.  I suppose it is all subjective, but like I said just my two cents.  I'm glad Apple put as much thought into their bands as the watch itself.

    By the way, I was an early adopter and got my Apple Watch only a few weeks after it was initially released.  Back then, hardly anyone had one on.  This year, I see them on so many people.  Each one with a different type of band...so happy to Apple for gaining market share.

    One thing that does concern me is that Apple has made such a great product that people won't want to upgrade often.  I mean I have no reason to buy another.  My 1st generation works just fine for me.  I am only concerned because again people will say YoY decline in Apple Watch sales because no one will want to upgrade like me.  This is what happened with their iPad.  It is not that the iPad is bad product it is just it is such a good product that hardly anyone needs to buy the latest and greatest.
    I hear what you're getting at (I too bought gen 1) but I think the logic is flawed. No company is ever hurt by putting out a good product, and I'm certain Apple has plenty upgrades and features in mind to keep us excited for years to come - it is only up to ver 2 after all. They don't need existing customers to continually upgrade - they need to expand the base, which will happen with time (no pun intended). Btw I did upgrade to series 2 and love it - superior screen, no worry waterproofing, and the snappy processor are solid upgrades.

    Wouldn't 'turn on airplane mode' the disconnect AirPods and Siri?
