- Marsymars 4mo agoHaving the ethernet port and Thread radio gated behind the 128gb model is obnoxious. I have three Apple TVs that are ethernet connected and form the backbone of my home's Thread network, but they have <5 apps installed and would do fine with 32gb rather than 128gb. (And in fact, they are all currently 32gb models from the previous generation where those did include ethernet.)
- thejazzman 4mo agoat a (previously) $20 price difference, why would they add a 3rd model?
- Marsymars 4mo agoI don't know what makes sense for Apple's supply chain and BoM, I'm just saying that the price for my home's worth of Apple TVs with the minimum functionality I use has gone up by over 50% since the previous-gen model and now sits at over $1,000 in local pricing. That's the kind of pricing that makes me start to consider the Google 4K Streamer even if it's a UX downgrade - for $300 I get ethernet and Thread on every TV.
