I’m just waiting for the EU to force Apple to be open, then I’ll move to everything Apple, maybe.
Comment on Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen?

AI upscale is not worth it in my opinion unless you watch old blueray rips since compression algorithms would make upscaling worse in some cases.
I have Apple tv and linux pc for my 2 tvs.
If Apple tv cover your needs then go for it. I got it used in 2017 (I believe gen 3) and still butter smooth to this day.

Hopefully they will. I was bummed when I knew that apple tv has no vpn functionality.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think they recently added vpn support to Apple TV.

I think so.
Last time I tried to use a vpn was like 2019

For real, other than locking down 3rd party app stores, apple products are pretty damn good.

I strongly disagree. The AI upscaling is incredibly practical. I have a 4k TV, and most 1080p shows and movies look insanely sharp. It’s not a gimmick.
This said, I don’t think anyone should buy these new right now. They need to release an update.
Don’t go with Apple TV, just buy a fire stick for next to nothing and wait for the next shield. That, or buy used.

It’s not a gimmick, however, not all videos would be better after the upscaling.
720p blueray rips yes. 720p YouTube compressed to hell no.
And regarding firestick, and on top of the performance gap, I don’t trust Amazon.
