I like how a lot of people on MR are losing their minds that the karaoke feature is only available on the latest Apple TV
To be fair, a lot of people on MR lose their minds when they wake up and Apple… still exists.

Are we to expect support products like a microphone to use with the AppleTV?

This will be really popular with some users. Apple Music has been doing a great job lately. Weird that the older Apple TV 4K boxes can't handle it.

Yeah this seems very strange. If I’m being cynical it is because Apple wants to drive sales of newer boxes. Though I doubt the demand would be that high for this feature.

Profit. Forcing you to upgrade to get features that your current hardware could easily handle is the only reason to limit features to the newest products.
Pretty much. I know the only reason why this feature wasn’t rolled out for the Apple II is JUST for profit. All computers are pretty much the same, if you can do it on one, you can do it on the other. I’m still holding out hope that Apple will make it available for the eMate, but I feel I shouldn’t hold my breath.
