Apple today updated its iMovie app for iOS devices to version 2.2.1, fixing several bugs and adding 4K support for the iPad Air 2 following yesterday's release of iOS 9.1. An iPad Air 2 running iOS 9.1 can now be used to edit and share 4K resolution videos.
iMovie first began supporting 4K video editing with the 2.2 update released in September after the launch of the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. The two new iPhones are the first Apple devices that are capable of capturing 4K video, and along with the iPad Pro and the iPad Air 2, they're also the only devices that can edit 4K video.

Their flagship iPhones can record 4K video, one would have thought that their flagship new apple tv would then be able to display that 4K video that was taken with the iPhone 6s to one's 65" Samsung or whatever brand 2160p televsion.
There is really no excuse the why new ATV does not have 4K support out the gate.
