Apple is expected to announce a new Apple TV 4K on Tuesday, October 13. The announcement will likely come through a release on Apple Newsroom, while reporters and creators invited to Apple’s New York event may publish hands-on photos and videos. The event begins at 9 a.m. Eastern Time (13:00 UTC).
Rumors point to an A19 or A19 Pro chip and 8GB to 12GB of RAM for the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. Reports say the memory upgrade would enable Siri AI support on the device.
Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0
The device is also expected to use Apple’s N1 chip, adding Wi-Fi 7 support. Faster speeds and lower latency would require a Wi-Fi 7 router; the current model supports Wi-Fi 6. Bluetooth could be upgraded from version 5.0 to 6.0.
Design and Siri Remote
A leaked image showed no external design changes compared with the current Apple TV. However, Apple software code referenced a new Siri Remote, suggesting that the accompanying remote may be revised.
The current Apple TV was announced in October 2022 and uses an A15 Bionic chip with 4GB of RAM.
Apple raised the Apple TV 4K’s price in June amid rising memory-chip costs. In the United States, the starting price increased from $129 to $199.
