(…) Apple Intelligence was both the worst and best thing to happen to Apple as far as the AI bubble goes.

It was a mass-radicalization of its users against AI – an attempt to cram a barely-functional series of add-ons that nobody asked for in the most-obtrusive way possible, with summaries that were almost immediately turned into memes and a new Siri that was, somehow, even worse than the old Siri.

And I think that told Apple to pump the brakes. It's barely spent anything on capex. It's barely done anything with AI. Despite headline after headline claiming it's "falling behind," nobody can really explain what it is it's falling behind on or why it matters. People hate Apple Intelligence, and I think Apple knows that, and so they're going to jingle the keys for the markets by putting "AI" on stuff without ever really putting their back into it.

iOS 26.6 focuses on performance tweaks and background prep for upcoming Siri features. It also includes subtle dictation improvements and standard security bug fixes.

AppleTV 4k price hike (www.engadget.com)

To answer the question, no it is not worth the price hike. It’s a four year old model by now and a newer one is probably in the pipeline. I recommend looking for one on sale or Apple refurbished instead.

Also don’t be surprised if the power button on your $60 Siri Remote pops out after a year or so. Easily fixable with scotch tape, but another reason to wait for the next revision or a sale price.
