Is it a good time to buy an Apple TV

[bob616]

When are Apple TVs usually refreshed? Is there any chance that it will be updated next week at the iPhone event?

they previous 3 launches where all 2+ years apart so if you base your predictions on the past there will not be 2 releases in the same year

I doubt there will be a new apple TV soon. The v3 plays 1080p content, is compatible with ML's airplay and desktop mirroring, and apple's focus is obviously streaming... not really a lot for apple to change, other than release an entirely different device?

Maybe a price drop? Doubt it.


If you want one, buy one, they are cheap enough.

Buy one when you need/want one. It's cheap enough that you shouldn't have buyer's remorse.

I would suspect any new capabilities will be handled by just updating the OS or just adding apps.

I've been curious about this too. At the moment I'm just going to wait for the next big thing.

Now is a great time. It's a nice and refined product now.

Still using AppleTV first gen

...and love the storage capability. The "next big thing" will be an Apple flat-panel TV so they can own the living room.

Speculation...

Yeah, I think Apple would love to do that, but I think that's still a long way off.

Buy one now. There's no reason to wait, there won't be an update for probably another year or more, IMO.

Buy an apple 2 and jaibreak and get untold thousands of movies tv shows etc. its a whole different world. The fact that the atv3 has 1080 is meaningless because the stock programming is limited.

Just buy one. As others have said, any changes are likely to be through a software update. Can't really see what they'll do with it other than a possible minor upgrade to processor next year. Until such time as Apple bring out a more capable set-top box or a whole TV, I think ATV is staying as it is.
