Apple TV 4K (2021 vs 2022)

This feature lets compatible Bluetooth devices use the Bluetooth LE radio to perform range and direction calculations much like UWB does. That’s generally a good thing, as it gives you this feature without requiring dedicated hardware. But it also means that it only works if your iPhone has Bluetooth 6. And that means iPhones with the N1 chip: the iPhone Air and 17 or later, excluding the iPhone 17e.
 
No reason to get this expensive kak. What a kak move to raise prices in June. **** behavior.

I only recently unboxed and installed a Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) that has been sitting on a shelf since Christmas... what can I do with the 128gb of storage it has?

Better Bluetooth might be interesting for controllers? But 3rd Gen is fine with 4 Xbox controllers for me (Apollo + moonlight).

WiFi 7 is cool since 6GHz, more stable if crowded frequencies, but you should be using ethernet if you can.

AV1 decode is cool, but can do via software, the A15 seems to handle it fine even with hdr on swift fin (just have to swap between players). VP9 just doesn't work well for some old documentaries.

I feel no urge to upgrade, my only wishes for Apple TV is that I can better sideload apps, right now it's weekly reinstall for YT with sponsor/add block via MBP, otherwise it's pay a service for it, and then allow "raw" input from my controllers to pass through so mapping works better. Both are OS changes, the hardware is fine. And then a USB c port for camera/mic FaceTime, don't have an iPhone and iPad camera sucks for room.

Just a more powerful Nvidia shield would solve this.
