After using and enjoying my Apple TV 3 for a few weeks now, I can honestly say that Apple has designed the Apple TV as a good alternative for people with TV's that cannot connect to the internet.

The seamless integration of airplay and connecting to other Apple devices was the single most important element behind my purchase of Apple TV.

With that said, I've been thinking about a few things that really need to be added to the fourth generation of Apple TV. Especially after purchasing a Roku XD last week to compare between the two.

Apple TV 4 Wishlist

1. Volume Control - The lack of volume control on the Apple remote causes one to constantly switch back and forth between remotes during play of a movie, radio, or media. This is a must.

2. Storage - Please provide some element or input for additional storage. I realize that airplay and cloud storage is aiming to do away with that but at least provide an SD slot.

3. Siri - Why isn't Siri being added to new Apple products? Being able to give voice commands and receive feedback would help sell a lot more Apple TVs.

4. More Content Channels - Compared to the Roku, the Apple TV 3 is lacking for content options. Roku offers many public and private channels, tons more than Apple TV. I believe the lack of being able to monetize on such an offering is probably why Apple chose not to do something like this, but I'm sure they could figure something out.

5. Browser - Being able to surf the internet on my TV isn't the top of my must have list, but add it and it'll help add an extra element to the experience of Apple TV.
