>they are consistently the fastest streaming devices I've owned, As someone that works on set top box / streaming chips, I don’t think you realize how low that bar is :P The prev gen ATV 4k is clearly superior, I’m not disputing that. But ‘snappy’ is a relative term. I expect a lot more out of a device sporting the chip it has. I regularly get input lag, stalled apps (that the system cannot recover from for some time), bursted input (like it doesn’t debounce queued remote inputs after stalling) There are systems level issues that remain unaddressed, and I speculate they are due to hardware bottlenecks somewhere .
