However, in addition to it, it will also receive an update after years Apple TV 4K. According to information from Mark Gurman of BloombergThe Apple company is testing two major innovations, namely built-in microphones directly in the body Apple TV and improved remote control Siri Remote. If we add to this even earlier leaks about the deployment of a faster chip, WiFi 7 and so on, it seems that the new Apple TV moves quite solidly.

Voice commands without searching for the remote

Until now, users had to enter voice commands for Siri speak directly into the microphone in the remote control, or use a paired HomePod. New Apple TV 4K could completely remove this limitation. Apple namely, it tests the integrated microphones directly in the body of the set-top box itself. This would allow commands to be entered Siri across the entire living room without having to pick up a remote or have a dedicated smart speaker in the room.

The second significant innovation is the remote control. Siri Remote. The current version offers a basic search function via Find, but it lacks the ability to play a loud sound signal. The newly tested remote has a built-in speaker, which makes it much easier to find it when it gets stuck between the couch cushions or simply wanders somewhere.

New generation Apple TV 4K and updated HomeUnder mini 2, according to Gurman, are scheduled to go on sale on October 30.
