New Apple TV Release: 4 Things to Expect & 4 Things Not To
Don't Expect iPhone-style Hiccups Monday | |||||||||
 | |||||||||
If you're planning to pre-order the new Apple TV right when it goes on sale through the Apple Store, don't expect to encounter the iPhone-style hiccups that typically emerge right when Apple's phone goes on sale. If you're not familiar, Apple's website often gets jammed up to the point that it slows down or crashes completely for some people. Its been a problem for years though recent launches have shown signs of improvement. The Apple TV 4 is a popular device but it won't command iPhone-like demand on day one. We expect Apple to take a ton of pre-orders on Monday but we expect its website to hold up under the crunch. If you're feeling leery on Monday morning or we do see some problems, try Apple's Apple Store app for iOS. It's usually far more stable than the company's website. | |||||||||

3 years in the making and they left 4K out? Most TV’s can do 4K now. Netflix and Amazon both have 4K content, it looks amazing. What can this Apple TV do that my old one can’t? Play games? LOL

Most TVs cannot do 4K and most content and Internet connections are not ready.

Ya cable only streams at 1080i or 1080p in some instances. There is almost no true 4k content available to even watch on a 4k device. The few movies there are on the market are really just upscaled 1080p (or lower) movies. It would take two Blue Ray disks to even hold a true 4k movie. Ironically, games are probably the only thing that could potentially utilize 4k, but even Xbox One and Sony couldn’t handle that graphics processing. As far as Apple goes, I’m sure the company who brought one of the first (and the first affordable) 5k monitors to market will include 4k when the content catches up to the technology. They also happen to have given way to the 4k movement with their retina technology, which were the first screens to market to have resolutions that were high enough that the human eye couldn’t discern any pixels.
