I am interested after hearing you can go on the apple app store on the player. You can connect your apple iphone account to the apple tv 4. I have alots of games on my phone I would love to play on TV.
 
FireTV does everything i'd want an apple TV to do from a media point of view and for a lot less money, it also allows me to use Kodi etc. which when combined with Prime instant video and other subscription based TV services (and the 'free' ones) makes it hard to beat. Apple had a great product with appleTV that was genuinely ahead of ti's time - it's one of the few areas that apple really did get significantly ahead of the crowd, but they made the mistake of letting it die in a corner and now the market has moved on, not only that but they've surpassed the standard apple set at a much lower price point. Even if it's got a jailbreak I honestly can't see much reason to buy one.

This sums up my exact thoughts precisely.
 
It's also not 4k capable for those with screens in that category!

There are certainly much cheaper options that will get you almost all of the paid and free services which really means unless you're wedded to apple gear you really don't need one!
 
I will be very interested if the supposed Plex app turns out to be decent. I have an ATV3 mainly because it allows me to use Airplay, but I have a different device for my Plex front end, which I would like to get rid of if the ATV4 is capable in these areas.
