Just wondering if people are planning to purchase the 2021 Apple TV when it is released in a week or so. I have a Fourth Gen, which I use quite frequently. Honestly, I don't mind the touch pad on the remote, but the new remote with buttons does have me intrigued, so I may make the purchase.
I also like the idea of a faster processor.
Just wondering what others think about this device and if you are planning on purchasing the whole package or just the new remote.

I have no any plans to purchase the new Apple TV
Hi, I have the fourth genarition Apple TV, and i am happy with that. I don't any improovmant to purchas the new one, from what knowing to me, there is improovmants mostly with the visual things and not segnificant things that i can think of that related to blind people. Regarding the buttons it will be a touch button and not fisical buttons, I will be happy to correction if I don't exact. I will purchase new one if my current jen will be stop to gett updates. If it works i will continue with it and i don't see any reasen to upgrade my product. that's my nolage.
Curious about the remote
I'm more interested in the redesigned remote than the box itself, as I'm wondering if the use of physical buttons for screen navigation will resolve some of the issues of navigating the screen with the touchpad when using VoiceOver.
Upgrading to Apple TV 6th Gen
I plan on upgrading to the new box, both for the faster speed and the new remote, for my primary device, in the living room. I also plan on putting my old, faithful 3rd Gen box out of service and placing my current 4th gen box into my master bedroom. Can't wait to get my hands on the new tech. If it wasn't for wanting to get away from the 3rd gen model, I might not upgrade, but it's pretty easy to justify the cash outlay, since I really don't care for that box, although, to be fair, I have been really glad to have that, much better than not having any TV access.
