Why can’t they add HDR10+ to the older AppleTV streamers?  You don’t need the A15 for that.

Not only was it inevitable because of the EU mandate but Apple was heading that way anyway. Just look at the iPad pro. The only surprise was that Apple didn't make the change for the iPhone 14. It's either a design issue with the smaller form factor (seems unlikely) or an economic factor (eek the last dregs of value from stocks of lightning components before they have to go USB-C anyway). I didn't buy the 13 or 14 as I'm holding out for the USB-C version compatible with my iPad Pro so BRING ON THE 15!!!  

More likely the reason for the hold out is the vast number of lightning accessories that people own that will now be obsolete.  Everything is going wireless anyway so the EU is forcing people to throw away more outdated tech in order to satisfy their climate agenda. 

Why doesn’t Apple update the firmware for the prior gen ATV 4K to provide HDR10+?

I tried one of the earlier versions of this lock. It did not have enough torque to actually perform the task of locking the door. Have they improved the strength of the motor?  

I use the Channels app with my HDHomeRun tuners.  The Channels app does not exist for Roku.  I also use Plex and it’s a disaster on Roku.  The new AppleTV remote is far and away better than the the old one and I think it is just as good if not better than the Roku remote.  For whatever reason, the Roku seems to eat batteries.  I’ve never had a set of batteries last more than 2-3 months.  I’ll take a Firestick 4K Max over the Roku any day.  The AppleTV is and always will be my first choice.  Never had any problems with having to re-enter passwords once it’s properly setup.  The ability to use my iPhone or iPad as a keyboard when it’s time to enter passwords makes the process fast and easy not to mention that you can also use keychain for the passwords.  I’m not aware of any such ability to use a phone as a keyboard for either Roku or Firestick.
