Sigh. I’d love to replace the Roku I have on my living room TV (I had to move the ATV to the home office for work reasons), and have all my streaming boxes be ATVs.
Had Apple priced the new ATV competitively with Roku, I’d have been very tempted. But with prices the same as the previous generation, I can’t justify it.
Not so sure, the architecture is now 100% the same. An AppleOS mobile/desktop might be somewhere in the not too distant future.
Would be interesting, so far they’ve not let me down (too much (looking at you trashcan))
I’m not in the ‘tool for the job’ camp anymore. I’m just wondering what they come up with, and think we’ll be surprised. And that’s exciting in itself
It’s a bit like the early iPhone days, a lot is still going to happen!
Oh don’t make me dream…
I don’t want to get my hopes up, but still, after such an announcement, I am betting on an all-software WWDC (with maybe a glasses announcement).
I agree - they focussed on how the power that they have in the ATV allows them to do all these fancy things, but are those things real differentiators from running the AppleTV app on either your TV or your FireTV stick? Nothing they announced would justify the expense for me at least.
Feels like the new big iMac will be called iMacPro. They kept calling the new 24" one just iMac as if there was only one iMac.
I think that whatever the big all is one is called, it will not just be iMac or iMac 30 or whatever. iMacPro seems most likely. Maybe even a different name but that seems less likely.
Doing the majority of fabrication on a silicon wafer, and removing many components dedicated to cooling, assembly costs must we way down. Add in not buying chips from Intel, AMD, Samsung or whomever for RAM & SSD, plus numerous support chips, cables, connectors, tiny printed circuit boards, etc.
