alt Hacker NewsI had been holding off on buying an Apple TV in anticipation of this launch, and am a bit underwhelmed. $300 just seems crazy for what is, or I guess, what it's coming from.
Does anyone know why having 128GB of storage is useful? Just for installing more apps? I've had Google TV devices in the past, and don't think I ever came close to the 32GB storage limit. Maybe there's a gap I'm missing...

128GB is strange. Apple nickel-and-dimes you for storage most of the time, but on this random TV box they give you 128GB.
The only thing I could think of using this for is syncthing, but I'm not sure if there's an Apple TV app

Most likely the storage is for game installations. Apple has been somewhat pushing it as a gaming platform.

I’ve been using an Apple TV since ~2014 I think. Upgraded to the 4K version on release (2022 version).
Really nothing beats it, especially if you are in Apple ecosystem but even if you are not, it’s a million times better than the messy android tv with full of ads and bloat.
That being said, I don’t see a reason for us to upgrade to this version.
