Next Apple TV Rumored to Have Five New Features, Including Siri AI

Key Points:

• The next-generation Apple TV 4K is rumored to feature an A17 Pro chip or newer, at least 8GB of RAM, Siri AI support, an Apple-designed N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7, and an updated Siri Remote. These upgrades aim to enhance performance, graphics, and smart assistant capabilities.
• Siri AI is expected to debut with tvOS 27, potentially offering a dedicated Siri app and advanced AI features, but likely limited to the new Apple TV model due to hardware requirements.
• The inclusion of the N1 chip would bring Wi-Fi 7 support, significantly increasing wireless bandwidth and improving Bluetooth connectivity with Bluetooth 6, compared to the current model’s Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.
• The design of the new Apple TV is expected to remain similar to the current model, with no confirmed plans for a built-in camera despite previous discussions; users can currently use Continuity Camera with an iPhone or iPad for FaceTime calls.
• Apple is likely to unveil the new Apple TV in September or October 2024, possibly alongside other smart home products, with pricing yet uncertain following recent price increases on existing Apple TV 4K models.
