The Apple TV 4K hasn't been updated since 2022, and it's due for a refresh. An update is planned for 2026, but Apple is likely going to wait to launch it after Siri AI launches in iOS 27.

Apple TV design updates don't happen often, and that's not changing. The next Apple TV is going to have the same squircle shape as the current model, and it'll continue to be made from a black...

I was recently doing research on TB4 docks to power two 4k monitors, one at 144hz/HDR, the other at 60hz, and being able to plug in all my downstream accessories on one cord.

I'd stay away from this one.
Reputable options include Caldigit, Anker, Razer, Plugable, OWC and more. I went with Razer. The Belkin was the ONLY TB4 product that looked like a total miss.

And a note about going with Razer - I actually avoided even checking out their product for the longest time because I didn't trust that a gaming company would be producing the product I was looking for, but their price was competitive and it actually has all the features I want.
Apple's first foldable iPhone, with a book-style design featuring a ~5.5-inch outer display and a ~7.8-inch inner display with a minimal crease down the middle.
