I hope they'll keep the smaller format too, it's easy to carry and install while traveling.

I was very happy with Chromecast until last year, when they replaced the screensaver of family photos (from Google Photos) with ads. So I replaced all of the Chromecasts in our house with Apple TVs.

As someone who's using a Chromecast but misses the speed and quality of their Roku Ultra (fuck Roku), I'm looking forward to one of these.
