As a current AppleTV 4K owner, I have no idea how any of this is different from the previous version. I don't any any discernible difference. I already have HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc. What I really want is the ability to make my remote control beep so I can find it. That's literally the only feature that I want at this point.

And still no support for spatial audio with AirPods Pro? I continue to be mystified why spatial audio only works for watching movies on iOS devices. I know the official explanation is that the host device needs an accelerometer and gyroscope... but Apple TV's tend to stay still, you know. It baffles me why you can get amazing spatial audio watching a movie on a tiny screen... or regular stereo audio watching a movie…
The entire advantage of Apple is supposed to be that they're one company and all of their products work together, but that's becoming less and less true over time. AirPods and HomePods barely work with Macs compared to how they work with iOS devices. Apple has boasted about how you can fit all of their products on a conference room table, yet they don't actually work together well. What else are they doing with their…
Honestly speaking, the problem with Apple TV is that chips like A12 are such a overkill for TV box use cases. I recently purchased a $30 Roku and find it has almost 99% of the features that an Apple TV would have (including airplay2). Yes, Apple TV would have better color, visual quality, etc, but that's way into the realm of dismissed return for the investment IMHO.
It’s insane they don’t package a first party controller and just take the video console space over with it.
I find it astounding that Apple ceded control of Wi-Fi routers to companies much less trustworthy than Apple, but they insist on making overpriced TV boxes and smart speakers that nobody is buying.
Their routers ran NetBSD. You can still do that if you want. As for Apple TVs, I own five.

Then you have a greater incentive to defend a substandard product so you don't feel foolish.
Is this true? Through my `ChromeCast with Google TV`, I can get Dolby Vision (as my TV tells me) and Dolby Atmos (as my speakers tell me). I am reliably able to get these very noticeable formats via HBO Max. Or does this just mean they went the extra step to get some sort of official certification?

Somehow we're in a situation where Microsoft refuses to support Dolby Vision while streaming movies through the web browser have poor multi-channel audio support as well as what appears to be a lower bit rate in comparison to android/app based TVs or devices.
Even though my PC can run circles around my 2018 TV's android cpu/gpu, they always look better in the Amazon/iTunes app on the android TV or a Roku than they do my web browser.
I don't get the state of Windows / Browser support for videos, it's like they're purposefully making the PC experience inferior to sell a few more of these things.
I have the last 4K TV model, and I loathe the remote. Will the new remote be backwards compatible?
