Everything We Know So Far = nothing. I don't get the industry of speculation .. must be good for advertising?
I’d just love a mute button!
I don't give a crap about Siri but need another ATV - hoping they will just release the hardware whether the AI crap is ready or not
Holding off for weak ass Siri
Remote needs Fast forward button
To be honest, I’m no longer upset at Apple for this delay. Instead, I’m shocked that no other company has tried to compete with Apple in this space. It’s like every tech company decided that pushing AI is the only strategy worth pursuing. No one is focused on customer service, product development, or quality of life anymore. It’s all just AI trash 🗑️.
I have an Apple Tv 4k, but had one of first Apple Tv’s, and i miss the ability to play games with the remote
You should stop making videos on apple tv.
Waiting for the upgrade from 4k to 4k
I’m actually encouraged by the recent reports about Siri being able to create Shortcuts and automations using natural language, because this is exactly where Apple has been behind compared to Alexa. My issue was never that Shortcuts exists — it’s that basic home routines still require users to think like programmers. If Apple can keep Shortcuts as the engine but let Siri handle the setup in a natural way, that feels very on brand for Apple. But if a new HomePod/Home device is coming this year, I really hope Apple has the Siri and automation experience in a much better place at launch, because the hardware only works if the home experience itself finally feels seamless.
If Homepod audio latency is resolved, it will be an instant buy.
Pointless video....could be, maybe, rumour but no actual details. What a complete waste of time......😖
The current Siri Remote is the absolute worst I've ever had the displeasure to use. Anything would be an improvement. I'd love it if they got rid of that button within a button thing at the top of it. Or at least make it suck less.
How many more videos till we get the tv box 😢 ..
I take it this guy doesn’t have any Apple TVs at home. There already is an Apple TV button that takes you directly to Apple made tv and movies.
A fingerprint log-in button. You heard it here first.
A new AirTag in the new Apple Remote
Waiting for the hardware to update my Apple TV so why would I care about Siri which is an update
Spoke with Jonathan Morrison. Apple is releasing new products asap. They have been working hard 😓 and they want us all back to normal situation or situational awareness to extroverted individuals and families who have lost their jobs.
There is already a button that takes you into AppleTV content directly and has been there for years... This cannot be the news.
