Does every refresh need to make a case for why existing owners of the last model need to upgrade?

Most of the purchases will be from people who do have an older model that's actually getting outdated, people who want another Apple TV for another room in their house, or people who don't own one at all. You buy this one now, it'll probably be good for the better part of a decade and you won't need to think about the next refresh.

If the price increases, you need to consider if the value it provides is still worth the higher cost.

For me, I’m hopeful to get a good deal on the previous gen to replace my parents ATV HD.

It will be my first used ATV purchase, but $299 isn’t worth it to consider buying new in my opinion.
