It does looks very nice. In addition it integrates all your iOS and OX devices
at home for smooth airplay. Interestingly it does not support 4KUHD, HDMI 2.0
and HDCP2.2 yet. That is probably reflection of general aim of Apple toward
reliability and quality and also that Internet bandwidth for 4KUHD is not there
yet. Also absence of HDCP2.2 probably does not hurt them as far as content.
HDCP 2.2 is not backwards compatible to HDCP 1.X so it will take very LONG time
to be actually used. Apple also took some time (couple of years) to add 1080p
to the old Apple TV devices. Apple also took away the Optical Digital Audio
output. That was useful before with non HDMI switching capable AV receivers.
Now that most of AV Receivers have HDMI switching and audio de-embedding this
is probably redundant.

Its plethora of innovations and apps leads me to conclude that the upgraded box
is now the best TV streaming device.
