But this:
Setup requires the Home app's home owner to have an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad running the latest software, with ‌Siri‌ AI enabled and set to a supported language
 
LOL @ $299
I ask again why would you need AI on an Apple tv?
Faster chip? Again I highly doubt the average user will see anything being much faster than their 2nd or 3rd gen.
So the specs might be good but why?
I can't see any reason the average user would buy this, especially at that price.

A few months ago, I was looking at the 3rd gen but decided to wait for the 4th. Back then the 64GB 3rd gen was going for around R2700 I think.

Now I see the 128GB is R5300 WTF!?!


I should've pulled the trigger back then ffs.

You use to get pretty good secondhand deals on Apple tv. But I suspect those days are also over with these new prices.
I got a 2nd gen 64gb with ethernet for R1800 a few years ago.
 
The genius part was increasing the price of the 2022 version to $249. Now geniuses on X are going "for ONLY $50 more the 2026 Apple TV is worth it".
 

New Apple TV 4K (2026): You Had ONE JOB, Apple! - CalebRated​

Is the new Apple TV 4K (2026) worth $300? Caleb breaks down Apple's latest hardware announcement, covering the new A19 chip, updated Siri Remote with Find My, precision speaker, and built-in Siri AI microphones.

We examine the privacy implications of living-room far-field mics, smart home hub features, and the biggest missing upgrade home theater geeks were praying for: lossless audio passthrough for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Find out why this $300 streaming box feels like a Bugatti engine trapped in software purgatory.

"We examine the privacy implications of living-room far-field mics"
That is an interesting point but then again so many devices have them now, the FBI just needs to ask the manufacturer to switch them on so they can remotely listen in on your Diddy parties 😐
