Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch.

So I ended up getting the ATV 4K. Was delivered a few hours ago.
I do feel a slight a performance boost in app loading times and navigating within apps. HDR looks better. (Have no idea why yet). Definitely not a placebo effect. Youtube app can play higher quality. It take advantage of wifi 6. Speed tests are slightly faster. Not speaking of wifi 6e though.
I was happy with the previous remote, but the new remote is good as well. The options to swipe or click is a plus. My only real gripe about the new remote is the clicking is loud.
As far as the sound goes, it's just playing through my TV speakers. But I plan on getting a pair of HomePod minis for sound. I heard they work well.
I moved my older ATV 4K to my desktop monitor which has picture in picture.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't snap up an Apple TV 4K at this price?
What could updated hardware possibly offer? a FindMy-capable Remote? Anything else?
8K video, 4K120 video, and WiFi 6e is all I can think of. It already has HDMI 2.1 and Thread support for Matter/HomeKit.
EDIT: I did think of some other things, such as UWB support and potential lossless audio with upcoming AirPods Pro 2. There's also HDR10+ for Samsung TV's. Perhaps Bluetooth 5.3 support for more advanced audio.
Ya missed the best Apple deal ... $100 off Apple Series 7 watches at Walmart ... 41mm is down from $399 to $299, 45mm is down from $429 to $329. I picked up my first Apple Watch.
