Matt if Apple entering the gaming console market could be a game-changer, especially if they incorporate their powerful A18 Pro or M4 chip. With their expertise in hardware and a massive app ecosystem, a gaming console upgrade to Apple TV could make waves. Exciting to see how it could handle AAA games, especially if they integrate it with services like Apple Arcade. Would love to know more about pricing and when it could hit the shelves!🥵❤️
I'm not much of a gamer myself, but I think this would be sweet if they did this with the Apple TV. I really don't see them doing that though unless they fully win over game developers, who will want to distribute their AAA titles through Steam most likely and not take a 30% cut through the Apple app store. I really don't see Apple doing this though - and I can't see them ever developing a game controller with actual physical buttons on it. If they had their own way they would develop a one-button 'magic controller' that responds to Siri. Can you imagine trying to play a game shouting 'Hey Siri - turn, left turn right!' or 'Hey Siri! Fire!' - And then Siri responding... 'Here's what I found on the web for Fire...'. It would be an outright disaster unless Apple radically changed it's stance towards game developers and attitude towards gaming.
Apple gaming system would be exciting, but I’ve learned over the years that Apple doesn’t play well with others. They have a great devices, but they refuse to open them up to game with big game developers . They have so much potential, but they stand in their own way
if they want to go all in into gaming they should give their chips real support for vulcan. There is a community linux project which build drivers for this without any documentation absolute crazy.
@@eddx5758 its a graphic engine games are developed. There is Opengl (weakest tbh), Vulcan (open for every os) DirectX(Windows only) and Metal (apple only). There are translation layers Proton translating DirectX to Vulcan (thats how the steamdeck is working) there is even a translation layer from vulcan to metal but than many games have to go through directx to vulcan than to metal, each translation layer create problems (i mean try google and translate from 2 languages it mostly will not be a full sentence anymore.)
Well seeing how the M4 chip handles Ray Tracing pretty well, I can see Apple actually doing well in the Console Market, but I would say they'd need to make it affordable
Their upgrade prices are criminally high. But you aren’t going to get a machine that offers as much as the base model M4 Mac mini anywhere. Use an external drive for storage.
An Apple console would be incredible, integrating the Apple Music library, listen to podcasts and ebooks from your content while gaming on one device, potentially even the Vision Pro connection for an FPS like COD would be wild
For a 3D Artist like me, I love Ray Tracing, but when it comes to Video Games, I'd rather the FPS be above 60 FPS than be locked to 30fps because of some dumb ray tracing
Even fps is also not that much necessary.. 30fpa Zelda botw and Mario kart 8. Sold more than 40m copies … it’s all about how much fun, relaxing and competitive…
I want to play huge multiplayer games with friends in a party with a microphone, like on the PlayStation. (Battlefield, Sea of Thieves, Gran Turismo 7 etc) Until this happens, there is no real gaming on the Mac.
I think the major thing with gaming on the A18/pro or one of the M chips, and making them run better than they would on iPad or iPhone is the ability to add more RAM and more cooling since space is so limited in those other devices. This is a huge opportunity for the Apple TV and I hope Apple takes advantage! They have the capable chips, they just need to use them and make the apps available! And of course, will Apple Intelligence needing 8gb ram I would not be surprised to see the next ATV have at least 8GB. This is honestly what has kept me holding off on finally getting an ATV or HomePods. I would hate to get one and then a few months later have a major upgrade to bring games and/or AI support which right now I think are the major upgrades we would expect next. If it was not for those I would expect any upgrades to be fairly incremental as usual.
Yes, this needs to become a thing. I game on PlayStation and do my computer stuff on Apple systems. Gaming on both systems would be right in my wheelhouse. Especially if Microsoft drop their non PlayStation first party on Apple as well as PC!
I really like the idea of turning the Apple TV into a full multimedia and gaming experience. It makes perfect sense to me. As for 2025 I’m really hoping to get one of the new Mac mini’s. I haven’t been this excited about a really cool piece of tech in sometimegreat channel love the content.
If they combine the gaming with the Apple TV, take my money!! I see them being priced at $299 for the lowest storage model and go up by $50 to $100 for each higher storage model! I would love this as I would mostly use it for the streaming TV, but it gives me games that I can play from time to time. Like I’ve said before, I use to be a gamer when I was younger, but don’t have the time for that to go buy a full blown PS5 or PS5 Pro! This would be all that I would need for the rainy day gaming!
I think it's definitely something they should release. it should also be able to stream games on the iPhone/iPad to have a similar experience as the switch
All Apple needs to do is build a native handheld controller and integrate it with the Vision Pro. They could blow up the AR/VR gaming space and pioneer a new category of holographic gaming.
I wonder if the new M4 Mac Mini would scratch that itch. You can get it for 499 with discount and it should have some pretty substantial gaming ability.
Around this time and next year, tech I would like to get would be the Iphone 16 pro as my used Iphone 13 pro had issues that weren't disclosed when I bought it from Amazon Refurbished.
I like your ideia of an Apple gaming device. They could easily make a custom M4 chip for that, with more GPU cores and less stuff like vídeo outputs and compressors, USBc 4 ports and many other things which are not necessary for a gaming console. They could even do that on 5mn, with a higher TDP, since the console would not be mobile.
Would definitely like to see a powerful pro chip in one and play on a TV. Already play some now on original 4K Apple TV. Still hoping to pick up a new iPad Air or pro before the end of the year.
honestly Apple is investing heavily in Apple GPU design and manufacturing for their super computer system that will handle the Apple intelligence network this year. This is also apple silicon being built from the ground up. My assumption will be that they will make that tech included in high end Macs and maybe even this Apple gaming station. The CPU on its own is amazing but boosting that power with a low power consumption GPU then you have a game changer
I'd rather see the M4 macs be able to game decently at 1440p, like med-high settings. If I have to buy a console because my M4 mac still can't game, then I'll get a switch, xbox or psx
Unfortunately, as we’ve seen with the iPhone 16 Pro, the A18 pro just isn’t powerful enough to play AAA games in 4k or even 60fps. Most ports have run in the 720p and 30fps territory. The reason you see certain chips in the Apple TV is due to inventory. They tend to use older chips which they produced a lot of. I can’t imagine them putting anything like an M4 in the Apple TV since they can make much more money putting it in Macs or iPads.
I would like to see a new Apple television that includes Apple Intelligence and the ability to play AAA games. What I’d really like to see is Xbox game pass, and the PlayStation plus apps on the Apple TV so that I could play all the games that I want on one platform.
I’m hoping to afford an iPhone upgrade from 12-16pro max in 2025. I also am planning on replacing my cracked 65inch TV with a 55 since it’s much cheaper. Love the channel! 👍🏼
Would love to see a gaming Apple TV ……. Just having x1 media player would be efficient and would fit into the ecosystem, especially if you get included gaming with apple 1.
Well at this point I would love to see a more Pro oriented iMac machine from Apple, that designers and creators would use for photography, video and 3d.
I will try to change my old iPad Pro 10.5 for the iPad Pro 11 M4 until next year!! No man’s sky in an Apple TV in the future is a dream possibly with a18 pro/M4 machine!! Cheers
Custom M4 Pro with a focus on CPU and GPU and strip away all the media engines and accelerators for content creation. If they focus the design on what is actually needed for interactive GPU rendered content like games, they’ll have a fantastic games console. But it probably won’t happen.
I definitely would like to see a newer version of the Apple TV that could handle some great games. I would also like to see an updated power Beats Pro. I want the over the ear but want noise canceling added. It’s crazy they still run for 199 and have been the same for years
I would 100% be interested in getting an Apple gaming device IF they can get into the world of AAA gaming vs casual. But I feel like that may still be a long way off. For 2025, my hope for an Apple purchase would be a new Apple Watch Ultra 3 if they can actually get to that point and release one by next year.
I mean, imagine if they put the M4 Ultra chip in an Apple TV or Mac Mini type of device and it was literally built for gaming. I think they’d blow that shit out of the water 🤷♂️
Anything that gives Apple a stronger foothold in the gaming arena gets my vote! How feasible is making a controller with onboard storage, and a USB slot for expansion, completely removing the need for any type of console device as that would appeal to an untapped audience?
Great video! I´m thinking to buy one for my home even with that fantastic upgrade coming next 2 months. I think one of the next technologies to evolve in this type of devices is a camera to ID purposes like the Orb to open the world of Web3 to all of us.
If they do they need to upgrade the storage capacity which would help a lot if they ever did bring a gaming console on the market at least 1 tb onwards
I’ve been investigating adding AppleTV 4K to my home theater setup. If Apple upgraded it to a gaming platform that would be a definite decision point for me!
After a few more years you don't need an emulator.. just add about 300million gaming capable devices per year to their side (about 240million iPhone and 60million iPad and Mac/Macbook), in 2 year that is over 1billion gaming devices, even Steam can only offer 120million active users, and Apple store have 10x more renevue like Steam (what is generated from the 15-30% cut off from the devs, alias if the store renevue is more than earned amount of money is also more for the devs). So when Apple alone can offer more users like Steam+Playstation together, and their renevue is about doubled to the $9billion Steam and $30billion Playstation store renevue against $89billion Apple store renevue.. so tell me as a dev why would you still sell your games on Steam for 120million users with $9billion renevue, when somebody else offer you 1,5billion active users with $89billion renevue.. (alias 12x more users who are reacheable, and 11x more spent money by the users compared to Steam or Playstation, even their combined amount is way lower in active users and renevue like Apple alone can offer, and on Apple all games only required 1 dev team, because phone/tablet/laptop/desktop/console use the same Metal API and the same source code on all devices, meanwhile other stores have different methods, like DirectX on Windows, Vulcan on Android, and even if 2 different dev team are used to made the game, you need to buy on both platform meanwhile Apple only use one account on each devices, so your phone purchase will be playable on your desktop/console too with shared save files..)
Unfortunately, strictly speaking of Steam games, some still do not run well and there does not seem to be any useful community support. Not only that, but Parallels puts a cap on how much RAM you can designate depending on the mode you are in. For less demanding games, it works fine mostly, but others there are issues (e.g., choppy video with sound, but excellent gameplay).
I’m gonna say this now, being somewhat of a tech analyst myself… Apple would not turn one of their budget Apple TVs, going for 100-200 dollars… to a more expensive device.. they would need to give it either the A18 chip, and give it a minimum of 8gb of ram.. which would significantly bring up the cost of the device.. Apple already has the Apple Arcade.. which works on most devices they have put out.. so i don’t see this happening anytime soon, or at all..
I'd love to upgrade my 7th gen iPad with a 10th gen, but I'll likely wait until next year. The battery on my current iPad is still okay for reading manga and comics :)
Personally, I think it would be great to bring back the iPod Touch under a rebrand for gaming purposes. We can have a base version with a 60hz panel 2456gb starting storage and a Pro with Pro Motion and 512gb starting storage. No phone or online capabilities , have it wifi reliant to save there and keep it different from iPhone. Maybe have it's dimensions different to be between the size of iPad Mini and iPhone. Thunderbolt so it can do video signal out to another screen like a tv or monitor as well. I think this would be better suited than the Apple Tv with having it be travel ready on the go, with no phone or online capabilities on it's own parents may find it suitable for kids as a device as well.
Ive been considering andf apple tv for a few weeks now and if this were to happen id definitely buy one if for nothing else then for tv watching but I'm still planning on buying a good iPad pro/air to round out my apple ecosystem as soon as possible
I would love to get a m4 MacBook Pro. If apple computers are able to run pc games with equivalent efficiency, I would die happy in the apple ecosystem.
I mean... if mac mini will get new design and apple tv would need a fan to gaming, they might just add a gaming mode to mac mini and sell apple tv control apart for mac mini + a gaming control like ps5 one (ofc this wont happens but in an ideal world where apple knew to enter this market they would need perks this would be best scenario)
Thanks for all the hard work and the info, I have a IPhone 13 Pro but still doing perfect so I’m gonna wait until iPhone 17 to decide which one I’ll buy. Also because Apple inteligente is not available
They should focus more on streaming game services then hardware, because that's where the industry is going . If they were going to do hardware they should have done it 10 years ago
Would you like to see Apple Upgrade the Apple TV to play more AAA Games?

Apple can make the hardware but if the software e.g., in app purchases and ads still dominate the games, then gamers should stay with other platforms.
Nice...but I do not game hardly at all. It would be good for APPLE, tho.
I recently got my first Appletv, I haven’t even tried playing games on it yet but I plan to.

@@dotnetappwhat’s Vulcan

The raw power performance isn't the problem right now... is compatibility. Apple needs game developers to port to apple or something like that.
Well seeing how the M4 chip handles Ray Tracing pretty well, I can see Apple actually doing well in the Console Market, but I would say they'd need to make it affordable
...and to do it for their every product.
I could see the same happening!

No. They need to make it enticing to game developers first! Apple still takes too much percentages from app developers.
Can’t wait to see if the Apple console can play offline games
That would be cool!
of cource it is possible since you can play offline games in your smartphone...
An Apple console would be incredible, integrating the Apple Music library, listen to podcasts and ebooks from your content while gaming on one device, potentially even the Vision Pro connection for an FPS like COD would be wild
Most gamers don’t give a toss about ray tracing, fps is king
Very true...

Eh ray tracing on a pc is badass if your rig can handle it though but yeah if it’s one or the other it’s the first setting I cut off 😂
I just can’t see apple going to all that effort given that the Vision Pro exists. It would make so much more sense to push gaming on Vision OS
I think they can do both. Vision Pro games are a different category! Think PlayStation and PSVR!
I would like to see dev tools improve for the Vision Os platform to further simplify app development and porting.
would love a M4 mini
Same here!
October Apple Event should help with that
And now it’s here 😂

Could apple potentially get a dedicated GPU, that runs on their APU; that runs along side those graphics cores?

I totally agree with you! I think something like this would be amazing!
Apple gaming / console-ship has sailed.
As new technology I would like to see an Apple Smart Ring and Apple everyday glasses
The new Mac mini it’s the best device with M4, greetings from Colombia
Those new m4 pro MacBook pros are looking like the best middle ground for the money. Excited to see what thunderbolt 5 brings in the future

Using HomePod mini as rear home theater speakers through Apple TV
Nothing until they release a foldable. Miss the old days were the came out with a completely refresh model 🥴
and not the flip, i want the Fold
Same, Apple is the new King of stagnation.
😅😅😅😂
I need to upgrade all my apple things, that new iPhone would really be sweet.
This year I’m planning to buy a M4 Pro MBP
I'm seriously hoping we can get more software and gaming for mac. Maybe bootcamp can come back??
I want to see a AirPods with a screen on the case. That would be amazing! Thanks for the video!
Should i get a ipad air m1 now?
I would like to see a budget apple vision pro

I am probably going to upgrade my Apple Watch and AirPods in the next year.
they should bring Apple TV interface to MacOS.... like when they had Front Row back in the day.

Can we talk about parallels and running games on arm architecture macs with a virtual machine
Have done in the past and also with Crossover
After a few more years you don't need an emulator.. just add about 300million gaming capable devices per year to their side (about 240million iPhone and 60million iPad and Mac/Macbook), in 2 year that is over 1billion gaming devices, even Steam can only offer 120million active users, and Apple store have 10x more renevue like Steam (what is generated from the 15-30% cut off from the devs, alias if the store renevue is more than earned amount of money is also more for the devs). So when Apple alone can offer more users like Steam+Playstation together, and their renevue is about doubled to the $9billion Steam and $30billion Playstation store renevue against $89billion Apple store renevue.. so tell me as a dev why would you still sell your games on Steam for 120million users with $9billion renevue, when somebody else offer you 1,5billion active users with $89billion renevue.. (alias 12x more users who are reacheable, and 11x more spent money by the users compared to Steam or Playstation, even their combined amount is way lower in active users and renevue like Apple alone can offer, and on Apple all games only required 1 dev team, because phone/tablet/laptop/desktop/console use the same Metal API and the same source code on all devices, meanwhile other stores have different methods, like DirectX on Windows, Vulcan on Android, and even if 2 different dev team are used to made the game, you need to buy on both platform meanwhile Apple only use one account on each devices, so your phone purchase will be playable on your desktop/console too with shared save files..)

Apple already has the Apple Arcade.. which works on most devices they have put out.. so i don’t see this happening anytime soon, or at all..
Technology that i'm hoping to get is that, we don't have the Apple Pay in India, I would love to use the Apple Pay, hope they launch it asap in India✌
Would love a 32" IMac be so nice Fingers crossed
I hope apple will do more for gaming this year or 2025 , I wish to play games on MacBook like I do on windows ❤

We can have a base version with a 60hz panel 2456gb starting storage and a Pro with Pro Motion and 512gb starting storage. No phone or online capabilities , have it wifi reliant to save there and keep it different from iPhone. Maybe have it's dimensions different to be between the size of iPad Mini and iPhone. Thunderbolt so it can do video signal out to another screen like a tv or monitor as well. I think this would be better suited than the Apple Tv with having it be travel ready on the go, with no phone or online capabilities on it's own parents may find it suitable for kids as a device as well.
I'm hoping to get an iPad between 2024 and 2025
either you know some inside knowledge about Apple , or you giving Apple some very valuable ideas for the future.
Ive been considering andf apple tv for a few weeks now and if this were to happen id definitely buy one if for nothing else then for tv watching but I'm still planning on buying a good iPad pro/air to round out my apple ecosystem as soon as possible
Grabbing the new iPad mini first…then slowly upgrading rest of my devices
Finally!!! My next apple device will be my gaming console with GamePass lmao M4 Mac mini with M4 Ipad mini!
Nice one!
lol
I would love to get a m4 MacBook Pro.
If apple computers are able to run pc games with equivalent efficiency, I would die happy in the apple ecosystem.
I would love to see wireless console from Apple that also can be used in all other of there devices such as iPads and phones
Me trying to find things to play from steam on my new Mac is a pain!
I mean... if mac mini will get new design and apple tv would need a fan to gaming, they might just add a gaming mode to mac mini and sell apple tv control apart for mac mini + a gaming control like ps5 one
(ofc this wont happens but in an ideal world where apple knew to enter this market they would need perks this would be best scenario)
It will eventually happen as they keep refreshing tv with newer chips
Thanks for all the hard work and the info, I have a IPhone 13 Pro but still doing perfect so I’m gonna wait until iPhone 17 to decide which one I’ll buy. Also because Apple inteligente is not available
They should focus more on streaming game services then hardware, because that's where the industry is going .
If they were going to do hardware they should have done it 10 years ago
I am hoping for a new ipad mini with m1, m2 or m4 chip and a gaming console of apple
