After almost four years of waiting, the arrival of the new Apple TV 4K seems to beonereally close. A developer working with MacRumors Aaron Perris discovered a previously unreleased image Apple TV directly in the code Apple, which is a pretty strong indication that the introduction of the new generation may not be far off. And just like the freshly leaked HomePod mini 2 it turns out that Apple this time she won't experiment with her appearance.

The image reveals virtually the same design as the current one. Apple TV 4K. All the major changes are supposed to happen inside, where it will be a much bigger leap. The current generation was introduced in October 2022 and uses the A15 Bionic chip together with 4 GB of RAM. The new product is supposed to get the A17 Pro or newer chip and 8 GB of RAM, which would open the door to, among other things, Apple Intelligence and new Siri AI.
Significantly higher performance and Wi-Fi 7
Deployment A17 Pro or a newer chip would of course mean significantly higher performance, Apple TV but thanks to it, it would also gain hardware-accelerated ray tracing. This could be useful especially for games and their graphic processing. Double the RAM is said to be important for Siri AI and other features Apple Intelligence.
Another big news is going to be Apple N1, a proprietary wireless chip with support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Wi-Fi 7 can work simultaneously with the 2,4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands when used with a compatible router and can theoretically be up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6, which is currently supported Apple TVIn the real world, of course, speed will also depend on your internet connection and other factors.
But the main attraction of the new generation will probably be Siri AI. tvOS 27 has Apple TV gain Siri application and a significantly smarter and more personal assistant should be able to answer practically any question. It is the higher performance and the increase in RAM to 8 GB that have the new Apple TV enable operation Siri AI and other functions Apple Intelligence. Together with Apple TV is also expected to be revised Siri Remote, although it is not yet clear what exactly is on it Apple will change and whether its appearance will change significantly at all. The question then remains the price. Apple namely in June Apple TV The basic Wi-Fi version with 64GB of storage now starts at $199 in the US instead of the original $129, while the 128GB varianta with Wi-Fi and Ethernet has increased in price from $149 to $249. It is not yet clear whether the new generation will maintain these prices or will be even more expensive.

In any case, the performance wouldn't have to be far away. October is traditionally one of the months when Apple introduces new products, and the discovery of an unreleased image Apple TV directly in its code suggests that this time, after almost four years of waiting, we might actually get it. The new Apple TV 4K may be a matter of the next few days or weeks.
