Apple internal research and development of new 4K Apple TV television, the earliest possible launch in 2024. Foreign technology media MacRumors recently released a blog post, combing the current information about the new Apple TV, The summary is as follows:
Design:
Apple Apple TV’s appearance design has been maintained for many years, it is expected that next year’s launch of the new model in the appearance will not have too much change.
The outlet suggests that the new model will have the same slim black plastic body as the current Apple TV.
New chip
The current Apple TV 4K features the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13 series, and the outlet expects the 2024 Apple TV to come with a new A-series chip.
Apple doesn’t usually design a dedicated chip for the Apple TV, and it’s expected that the new Apple TV will use the same A16 chip that’s in the standard iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15.
But there’s also a smaller possibility that the new Apple TV will use the same A17 Pro chip found in the iPhone 15 Pro, which will give users a console-grade gaming experience.
The A17 Pro is Apple’s first 3nm chip, and it includes a 6-core GPU that supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for the first time, giving games more realistic graphics. Thanks to the A17 Pro chip, a number of console games like Resident Evil 4 and Death Stranding are coming to the iPhone 15 Pro.
But that’s less likely now that word is out that Apple is looking to cut the price of the Apple TV, and the A17 Pro chip is too expensive.
Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7
Apple could bring a new, more modern Wi-Fi protocol to the next-generation Apple TV, but there’s no word on that.
The current iPhone 15 Pro model supports Wi-Fi 6E, and rumour has it that Apple will adopt Wi-Fi 7 for the iPhone as soon as next year.
The current Apple TV 4K model supports Wi-Fi 6, and it’s expected that the new model will support at least Wi-Fi 6E.
Other Connections
Apple offers Wi-Fi-only Apple TV 4K and Wi-Fi + Ethernet models, and that’s likely to continue for the next generation. We could also see the next-generation “Apple TV” adopt Bluetooth 5.3.
Apple TV is expected to continue to offer Thread integration and support for Matter when used as a home center for smart home products.
Pricing
Ming-Chi Kuo said last year that he expects the next-generation Apple TV to be more affordable and that a price below $100 (currently about RMB 731) would be “the best option. The current Apple TV 4K starts at $129 and comes with 64GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity only.
Release date
Apple is reportedly planning to release the next-generation “Apple TV” in the first half of 2024, with a debut at a spring event around March or April. In the past, Apple has launched Apple TV 4K models in September 2017, May 2021, and November 2022.
Innovation:
Apple could launch a high-end smart audio device that merges elements of its three product lines – Apple TV, HomePod and FaceTime camera – and possibly a camera for video calling that connects to the TV for video chatting.
