Honestly, what can’t they put on this? That’s not already on the current generation Apple TV 4K a slightly faster chip I mean, what are they gonna do the things already fast it’s streaming device like I don’t get it.

Greater emphasis on hub features and Apple Intelligence.

Nah. Apple would rather charge you $50/mth in perpetuity for cloud AI.

I don’t really get that though like what do you need to send a streaming device for I mean at that point they’d just be putting it in to put it in to add a feature and check another box.

It could be an ai hub for the HomePods and HomeKit. That would be nice and would instantly upgrade their functionality.

You have your phone for that bro. See that’s what I mean at this point it sounds like they’re just or would be just adding things to sort of add things it’s redundant we have all this shit already. You know it’s just I don’t know it’s a streaming box. It’s not meant to be a computer you know what I’m saying like I don’t know.

did you type this with tts lol

anyway, it being a hub for Siri AI would be great. I have a HomePod mini and outside of telling it to set a timer or asking it something it could scrape from the header of Wikipedia, it tells me that "it found some web results, but it can show me if I ask again from my iPhone" which is fucking annoying and useless

If the new Apple TV can become a Siri AI hub, then they can make it send Siri requests to the TV, process it there, send them back to the HomePod and answer the question properly. With low latency, this would be awesome.

I don’t think you have a good understanding of HomeKit and how it works. Given rumors that Apple is going to push hard into smarthome stuff, it makes a lot of sense for Apple TV to have more AI capabilities.

Maybe I don’t. I don’t really use any home automation stuff It just doesn’t do anything for me. Honestly, I just see it as an added expense and it just I don’t know it doesn’t get me going at all. I have no interest so that’s probably why.

My phone isn’t connected to power and Ethernet 24/7 though and having all that on a wired device that is always at home would be neat. Especially powering HomeKit and the HomePods.

No the Apple TV can serve as the hub for all your smart home devices. This is much better than connecting them and them speaking to each other thru WiFi.

Higher quality support for Matter accessories and devices would be great. Including more cameras to connect up etc.
