Apple also no longer includes a charging cable with the Siri Remote when purchased separately for $59 through its online store.<\/p>\n<p>Apple today began selling a one-meter USB-C cable with a woven design for $19.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rsgnl\/status\/1582736172354129920\">Joe Rossignol<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rsgnl\/status\/1582736172354129920\">\n<p>I can confirm that the new Apple TV 4K is equipped with an increased 4GB of RAM, compared to 3GB in the previous model.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/linklog\/apple-tv-4k-2022\/\">Nick Heer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/pxlnv.com\/linklog\/apple-tv-4k-2022\/\">\n<p>So, while the price may have dropped by $50 in Canada, if you want to use an Apple TV for a smart home base station and you want to match the in-box contents of the now-discontinued 32 GB model, you are spending the same amount as before but getting four times the storage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bzamayo.com\/apple-tv-4k-price\">Benjamin Mayo<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/bzamayo.com\/apple-tv-4k-price\">\n<p>If someone is mad that their Roku or Fire Stick is ad-ridden or behaving laggy, suggesting a $129 solution is now possible &mdash; an order of magnitude more palatable than the old $179 price point.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, $129 is still too much for the Apple TV to capture significant market share. I wish Apple went further with stripping down the base model to push the price down more. $99 really feels like the target to hit, and they didn&rsquo;t quite get there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/joe-steel.com\/2022-10-21-With-or-Without-WiFi-and-Ethernet.html\">Joe Rosensteel<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"http:\/\/joe-steel.com\/2022-10-21-With-or-Without-WiFi-and-Ethernet.html\">\n<p>Apple announced two new Apple TV models today that are sourced from only the finest parts bins. Hewn from a list of things that can be removed from the previous models for a modest discount. Chiseled from a single block of text about there being no reason to buy the 128 GB version before. Only Apple could name one the Apple TV 4K (&ldquo;Hey honey, don&rsquo;t we have one of those? Wait, there are three of them?&rdquo;) and the &ldquo;Apple TV 4K with Wi-Fi and Ethernet&rdquo; a product name befitting an Amazon retailer that uses only consonants.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The justification seemed to be that Apple was offering a premium experience, with premium hardware, at a premium price. Unfortunately, the Apple TV is just a <em>nice<\/em> experience, not a premium one when it comes to using the device, so fancy materials, sensors, etc. don&rsquo;t make a premium experience any more than silverware at your table instead of stainless steel flatware.<\/p>\n<p>Fire TV and Roku junk up their interfaces with ads, but Apple also junks up their interface with ads for Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The directional pad was a huge improvement, as expected, but the jog-wheel scrubbing through the video <em>still<\/em> doesn&rsquo;t work in most apps I use. Accidental swipes across the pad still happen, and play\/pause gets pushed instead of mute, and vice versa, because we have to have perfect little circles for those.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tvaziri\/status\/1584370044724649984\">Todd Vaziri&rsquo;s remote design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"apple-tv-4k-2022-update-2022-12-02\">Update (2022-12-02): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2022\/11\/14\/new-apple-tv-5-core-cpu\/\">Joe Rossignol<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2022\/11\/14\/new-apple-tv-5-core-cpu\/\">\n<p>The third-generation Apple TV 4K released earlier this month is equipped with a binned version of the A15 Bionic chip with one CPU core disabled, according to the website <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flatpanelshd.com\/review.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1668063491\">FlatpanelsHD<\/a><\/em>, citing information from the TV Info app for tvOS.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple: Driven by the A15 Bionic chip that delivers faster performance and more fluid gameplay, the new Apple TV 4K features endless entertainment options for everyone to enjoy on the biggest screen in the home.
