We expect the new Apple TV to be announced in a press release shared on the Apple Newsroom website on Tuesday, and then selected reporters and content creators invited to Apple’s “Welcome home” experience in New York that day will likely share hands-on photos and videos of the device. The experience begins at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is rumored to be equipped with an A19 or A19 Pro chip. This chip upgrade would result in the Apple TV having 8GB to 12GB of RAM, and this will reportedly enable Siri AI support on the device. The current Apple TV, announced in October 2022, has an A15 Bionic chip and 4GB of RAM.
The new model is also expected to be equipped with Apple’s custom N1 chip with support for Wi-Fi 7, which can achieve faster speeds and lower latency compared to the current Apple TV’s Wi-Fi 6. The N1 chip also supports Bluetooth 6.0.
A leaked image of the new Apple TV, obtained by MacRumors last month, did not reveal any external design changes compared to the current model. However, the Siri Remote included in the box is expected to be revised in some way.
In June, the Apple TV 4K received a price increase amid surging memory chip costs. In the U.S., for example, the device now starts at $199, up from $129.
