uh kind of reaching a fork in the road uh because i as far as i'm aware there there aren't really many television viewing based standards and technology that apple tv does not yet support that it would be useful for to support people might say 8k and you know the ps5 pro supposedly supports 8k but so does the ps5 technically anyway if if there's a use case for 8k potentially next generation consoles might be the use case but they've said that before um

But other than that, it's like there's that quick thing about media switching along a blackout thing, stuff like that. There's not a lot of stuff that you say, I need some more hardware on this Apple TV to do video watching. Then there's gaming, which, of course, you need unlimited power forever and ever. Does Apple want to turn Apple TV into more of a gaming thing or make their own controller?

Are they going to ship it? Are they going to upgrade? Like that's kind of the decision point because Apple is kind of close to saying for the purposes of watching video content, there's no reason for the Apple TV to get any more powerful. For the purposes of playing games, there's infinity reason for the Apple TV to get more powerful. Which way do we go with this product? I'm with Casey.

Whenever a new Apple TV comes out, I buy it just blindly for the same reason he does, because I just rotate them through my thing. And historically, there has been a benefit, especially when they went 4K and they got a little bit faster or whatever. And I do occasionally play games on Apple TV, although let me just take an aside to complain.

My son was home from school for break and wanted to play Journey. I'm like, great, that's out for Apple TV. Guess what? It's not out for Apple TV anymore. It was briefly out for Apple TV, I think. Maybe I have a false memory of it or whatever, but it definitely is not out for Apple TV now. You can play it on the iPad. You can play it on iOS.

You can play it on lots of different platforms that you cannot play it on Apple TV. I think it used to be an Apple Arcade, and maybe it was like a time-limited thing, but it's super annoying when that happens. So... Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if the next Apple TV comes out.

Like, there's no point if you just watch streaming TV to say, like, we need an even faster SoC here so you can play and pause television. Like, I would love for them to make that more reliable and better because it's still flakier than my, like, TiVo from 2002 or whatever year I was using it, which is sad considering it has, like...

a bazillion times the power of that devo right obviously it's looking at 4k content and sd but still even accounting for that like so i'm not saying the apple tv is as good as it can get it should get much better but i'm not sure if hardware increasing the level of hardware is has any point for anything other than gaming and so maybe that's why they're dragging their feet on this there are rumors about a new apple tv coming out it supposedly does have a better soc and more ram and

Apple intelligence capability and all that, you know, all that stuff. But I don't remember what the dates associated with that are, and I'm sure Apple's not in a hurry. But it is interesting to think about...

this lull in the apple tv where until we get 8k everywhere even if we do get 8k everywhere like by that point the apple tv caliber soc should be able to handle 8k fine and it's like you know is this is this basically is this a gaming box or is it not and if it's a gaming box why doesn't it come with a controller and that is the decision apple is probably going to have to make because there will be many years of time where the apple tv is completely adequate for all video functions and then the question is why would anyone ever buy another one of these things
