    Why remove the still new 3D/force touch?
    My guess is in 2020 or 2021 Apple introduces model without notch using behind the screen front facing camera technology and they know already they can't get it working with screens have force touch. Also I'm sure Apple has tons of data it's one the less used features. Just guessing.

    The current AppleTV will be upgraded to 4K via a firmware update.
    How will 2160p and HDR be supported on its current HW?
    Easy. You CAN stream 4K UHD video from your iPhone to the current AppleTV on a good network.
    Apple TV4 only has HDMI1.4 which supports 4K at maximum 24 frames per second. Also it doesn't have HEVC decoder which Apple will use for all 4K iTunes content (Netflix uses already HEVC for 4K). Also A8 processor doesn't have enough power to drive 4K UI smoothly. You're right Apple TV4 can decode 4K H.264 files but I'm quite sure Apple won't give 4K upgrade to current version as it would only work in some situations with lots of limitations. It's not the way how Apple does things.
