Whoa, hey everyone, fresh off the feeds, this is Tech After Dark! I'm Rocco, here with Ohm, and the first reviews of Apple's new fourth generation Apple T V 4K streaming box are in. Engadget reports the box moves from the A15 Bionic to the A19 chip, and Apple claims 50 percent faster C P U performance. Okay, but the fun part: it can run up to four HomePods as a surround system. The Verge says a pod race on that setup is a whole lot of fun.

I need it. Ohm, the price? On the big board, 299 dollars. Bzzt. Engadget notes that's 150 dollars more than its predecessor cost at launch. Oof, okay, that stings. Both reviews still rate it the best streamer, but Engadget says the price makes it harder to recommend. The Verge and Engadget reviews are linked, see you next time.
