New Apple TV Waiting for Siri: Here's What's Coming When It Launches
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- The next Apple TV update is expected in 2026, but its design will remain largely unchanged, continuing with the same squircle shape and black plastic material as the current model.
- A significant upgrade will be the inclusion of a new A-series chip, likely the A17 Pro, which offers faster speed, better efficiency, and enhanced graphics capabilities; there's also speculation about even newer chips and increased RAM.
- The release is delayed due to Siri-related issues, as Apple plans to launch the new Apple TV alongside advanced Siri and Apple Intelligence features, now postponed until at least September 2026 with iOS 27.
- Connectivity improvements may include Wi-Fi 7 support via Apple's N1 networking chip and Bluetooth 6 for better device connections, enhancing streaming and peripheral performance.
- Pricing could see changes, potentially introducing a lower-cost model alongside a higher-end version, but the launch is unlikely before late 2026 due to the Siri feature delay.
