What percentage of TVs in the wild, even among Apple buyers, were 4K at the time? What percentage of streamed content on 4K-supporting devices was 4K? Even a small price increase might have made it a bad idea for a product intended for the general (even the general potentially-Apple-buying) market.

- fredsted 9y agoAt the time (released in sept 2015) 4K TVs were actually generally available: https://www.avforums.com/article/best-4k-ultra-hd-tvs-2014.10664 https://www.avforums.com/article/best-4k-ultra-hd-tvs-2014.1... and Netflix already supported 4K videos. Youtube had it years before that. Apple has always been on the forefront of technology, with things like Retina displays, long before other vendors. I think they should've been there with 4K too.

That is generally untrue for the last 5 or so years with only minor exceptions (mostly limited to the iPhone).
