Definitely makes sense. Why publish "we sold 13 million" when its really "we only HAD 13 million, and sold them all. Could have been 16-20"

The speaker ejecting the water is really freakin cool.

It's just my opinion but I think it makes sense for Apple to wait to release the next Apple TV iteration until 4K is far more prevalent in the market place.  There is little they could add now other than 4K that software improvements can't cope with in the mean time.  I would imagine the way Apple is continuing to design their own amazing chips these days the next Apple TV could be a massive step forward.  I also wonder if Apple will ever use the Apple TV for something else too, perhaps a central hub for HomeKit for example and maybe even add features akin to Amazon's Echo and throw in a Wi-Tricity charging ability and while their at it ... a coffee maker? 

I'm pretty sure Apple shares the same opinion...they won't be updating AppleTV hardware again until 4k is ready. And by ready, I mean more people own 4k TV's than 1080p TV's. And content is more readily available in 4k.

And it won't be a huge leap forward, in any sense of adoption or popularity. The truth is, geeks like me are far more impressed with 4k video than the average person. Most people felt that 720p was fine, and didn't truly appreciate the benefits of moving to 1080p. The same is true for the move to 4k. This fact alone is why the adoption of 4k TV's and and 4k content is slow as molasses. Think about it...look at other products on the market, and the speed with which people upgrade expensive items like smartphones, tablets, computers, even cars. TV's on the other hand...get updated about as often as the couch. Why is that? Its not purely cost...all the other items I mentioned are on par or far exceeding. Its not purely the size and inconvenience of moving/selling/relocating old TVs. Its the plain fact that, if you have anything above a 720p TV....most people don't see anything wrong with it....they don't see anything glaringly in need of updates.

And just a footnote: AppleTV is already a HomeKit hub. And its not becoming an Echo. It has a Remote for issuing Voice commands. It is not an upgrade to the user experience to put a microphone on the Apple TV itself and yell at it from across the room.

Does Jonny Ive design anymore, or does he just do voiceovers exclusivly for Apple? My two year old iPhone 6 looks identical to the iPhone 7. I won't be upgrading FYI. Missing critical roadmap upgrades and acting lazy, that's Tim Cook's new Apple. Instead of technological innovation, Cook gives us hours of Super Mario and Pokemon -- and boring, old, Phil Schiller.

What kind of person ignores all of these massive improvements and says "oh but it looks similar so its worthless"?

Are you some kind of hyper narcissitstic toddler that learned how to type early?

I've been warned. Still getting Jet Black. And no case. Won't ever look back.

Cases are like putting plastic on the furniture. USE the thing.
