Apple TV 4K 2026 arrives with faster chip and built-in microphones
Apple announced the new Apple TV 4K model for release on November 13.
New hardware specifications and price
The fourth-generation box costs $299, which is a $100 increase over the previous cheapest model. This new device features an A19 chip that Apple claims is up to 50 percent faster at CPU tasks. The unit also includes double the RAM found in the earlier version.
Connectivity and audio improvements
Wireless networking capabilities have been upgraded from Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 7 standards. Bluetooth technology has advanced from version 5 to version 6 for better connectivity. Built-in microphones allow users to talk to Siri without needing the remote control.
Software updates for older devices
Siri AI features are coming to existing boxes through a software update rather than requiring a new purchase. The new remote supports older devices and is available for separate sale. Apple states that the A19 chip also includes a dedicated decoder for AV1 video compression.
