Oh, just why not, but it would be cool if the new Apple TV would have 10gbit Ethernet, but I don’t think so, because it’s not relevant for 99,99999% of the people.
As some here, I’m also doubtful in which ways a new Apple TV can be an improvement for Infuse users. I know @james is an incredible busy guy, but he could chime in on this. It would be interesting to see his point on view.
I was looking into HDMI 2.2 support, and as far as I understand, for Infuse users the most interesting part is Latency Indication Protocol (LIP). It could improve lip-sync in AVR/soundbar setups. That said, if your current setup doesn’t have sync issues, LIP solves a problem you don’t have.

A modest Apple TV update with a spec bump would allow us to take advantage of more AI upscaling features and enable hardware decoding for some newer codecs (like AV1) which are already supported on other Apple devices.

What also be cool would be PoE support.

I’d like the new air pods being released this years IR cameras to detect where the Apple TV is in real space and centre the Spatial Audio centre channel to that. Probably going to be coming.

GeForce Now support 120fps and higher frame rates depending on your subscription and resolution. 120hz support on a new AppleTV could be of great use in this respect, though NVIDIA would need to, release GeForce Now for AppleTV. Moonlight would also benefit greatly. A chip upgrade wouldn’t hurt but cloud streaming at 120hz is already possible on TVs with less processing power.

I’d like to see less gimped support for audio codecs/Atmos without the PCM/LPCM workaround. There were some rumors alluding to this several months ago. True audio passthrough, with lossless & Atmos support. I don’t care if they have to add in a few extra dollars to cover whatever licensing fees are required. This is really one of the last items I can think of that would make the ATV nearly perfect.
