MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- Apple plans to update the Apple TV 4K in 2026, likely timing the launch after the release of Siri AI in iOS 27 to incorporate smarter Siri features.
- The new Apple TV will maintain the same external design as the current model, with no changes in size or materials.
- A major upgrade will be the inclusion of a new A-series chip, possibly the A17 Pro or a newer variant, offering improved performance, graphics, and streaming capabilities.
- Enhanced connectivity features are expected, including Wi-Fi 7 support via Apple's N1 chip, Bluetooth 6, and continued Thread protocol support for smart home integration.
- Pricing is unlikely to drop despite previous rumors, and the refreshed Apple TV may launch alongside new iPhone models around September 2026.
