Apple began charging credit and debit cards earlier today, and orders should start shipping out soon. The earliest Apple TV 4K preorders have estimated delivery dates between Friday, May 21 and Thursday, May 27.
The second-generation Apple TV 4K is identical in design to the original Apple TV 4K, but it supports high frame rate HDR and comes equipped with a faster A12 Bionic processor. The new Apple TV is accompanied by a redesigned Siri Remote that has a more substantial body and a touch-enabled clickpad.
Pricing on the Apple TV 4K starts at $179 for 32GB of storage, though there's also a 64GB option available for $199. The second-generation Apple TV 4K is still widely available, and orders placed today will deliver between May 25 and June 2.
The $59 Siri Remote is available on a standalone basis for those who already have an Apple TV but want the new remote design, and it also comes bundled with the lower-cost Apple TV HD.
The new M1iPad Pro models and the M1 iMacs are also expected to start arriving to customers on Friday, May 21, and shipments for those devices have already begun.
While the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are not expected to launch until September, there are already plenty of rumors about the devices.

In the mid-to-late 2000s, Facebook was all about staying connected with friends and family. However, as the social media platform added new features and grew over time, that core experience began to get drowned out.
That changes starting now, according to Meta, which today introduced a new feature that will "bring back the joy" of classic Facebook.
Specifically, Meta has redesigned the...

Update 7:25 pm: Based on comments from our forums, it appears the original Weibo post may have been mistranslated and "8K" actually refers to the high price of the device rather than 8K video recording capabilities. The iPhone 16 Pro currently starts at 7,999 yuan in China.
Our original article follows below.
Apple's forthcoming iPhone 17 Pro models are capable of shooting 8K video, up...

Last week, we covered a report claiming that Apple's book-style foldable iPhone (or "iPhone Fold," as we are provisionally calling it here) will use liquid metal hinges to improve durability and help minimize screen creasing. Today, a Chinese leaker provided more details on the properties of this hinge material that help to clarify why Apple chose it for its first foldable device.
According...
The iOS 19 mockup images that leaker Jon Prosser shared today are not representative of the actual iOS 19 design, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said on social media.
According to Gurman, the images that are "floating around" are based on "very old builds" or "vague descriptions," and are lacking key features. Gurman says that we can "expect more from Apple in June."
Gurman made the same comment ...

I sold my tv ahead of receiving this one and have tried using the Apple TV 2 I had in storage. Yikes, it’s easy to forget but that thing was a pain to use. AirPlay was slow, laggy, and unreliable and navigating the menus with a 4 point clicker was difficult. We’ve all been spoiled by tvOS, AirPlay 2 and yes, the Siri remote with swipe navigation.
Who did you sell it to? Like a friend? Just some online place that takes trade in?
Sold it to a friend. Got $80 for a 4 year old Apple TV that was my most used device aside from my iPhone. Used it every day for every single day of those 4 years. Not a bad return on investment.
I just don’t think this is a good value. They could have put a better chip in this and really hit a home run with gaming. But alas, this is apple we’re talking about. I was eager for this update and ready to buy. But after seeing the specs. Eh. No. I may just get an Xbox series S for $100 more.

even if apple had thrown in a "better chip", this was not at all going to be your better option if your alternate consideration was an xbox series s. even though xbox hardly has a library of exclusive game options that make it a worthwhile console to have, it's still a much much better gaming option vs apple's arcade selection.
