Apple TV 4 want list

[Harry Wild]

Better happen this year- 2015! It been over two years and it getting old hardware wise and feature wise too!

Many more players in this marketplace now too!

Apple cannot afford to keep on delaying when Amazon and Google are now in this market with their own hardware.

A better remote and UI are also top of the list for me. I feel the remote could have just a bit more.
Still better than most TV remotes where you spend 5 mins squinting at the buttons....

Oh wait. How could I forget App Store? If only that could happen. Dedicated games just for Apple TV would be amazing.

Actually, instead of having an Apple TV, just make it to where you have software that links directly to your TV so you don't need to buy an Apple TV. Then make an Apple TV software subscription that cost like $20 a year. Apple would then make almost 100% profit. It'd be an app

Unified search would be so awesome. I hate not having that feature when I search for movies.

Another thing that would be cool for the next-gen would be if it had a built in antenna for the regular over-the-air channels on the television itself.

Those two improvements alone would be great!

I would really like to stream videos from my NAS without iTunes running on my PC and control it all from my iPad.
