Exactly, it seemed like Apple has really held back on the Apple Tv. I think their original plan hasn't panned out yet with the "replace your cable" deals, but they also had to release the hardware now.
Maybe future software upgrades will bring something more enticing?
I was sort of put off by the no 4k support. I will most likely have a 4k tv within the year and much more content will be in 4k.
Note: the version without the gaming controller is $99.
- coralreef 11y agoWhat kind of bandwidth do you need to stream 4k?

- travisp 11y agoOn the other hand, many of us don't really care about 4K -- there's no benefit unless you sit somewhere less than about 6 feet away (which is not normal for most homes). Most people will not notice a difference between 4k and 1080p in normal viewing conditions.
