I’ve been using an Apple TV since ~2014 I think. Upgraded to the 4K version on release (2022 version).

Really nothing beats it, especially if you are in Apple ecosystem but even if you are not, it’s a million times better than the messy android tv with full of ads and bloat.

That being said, I don’t see a reason for us to upgrade to this version.

My Android TV has a non-default launcher with no ads, and I can sideload apps to get things like Youtube with sponsorblock baked in. Going to Apple's locked down system seems like a huge downgrade to me.

		I have isponsorblocktv running on my home server that skips YouTube segments automatically. Also running side-loaded Stremio with torrenting enabled so I can stream Big Buck Bunny.

The reason will be that the older, less expensive Apple TV 4k will no longer be available. There's really no other reason. This is a price hike, plain and simple.

I need a new ATV to replace the ancient HD one that's dying in our living room. I've been putting it off because of laziness and now I can't get one directly from Apple if I don't want this too expensive, Siri-infested thing with all its microphones that I'll never use. Dammit!

		I think you could still get the previous model from third-party stores the next few days.

But more conversational AI, that doesn't inspire you?
