Apple TV 4K to Feature A19 Chip and Updated Siri Remote
Apple plans to launch a new Apple TV 4K with an A19 processor and a refreshed Siri Remote that includes a speaker for easier location.
Apple is set to release an updated Apple TV 4K that will use a standard A19 chip, replacing the A15 found in the 2022 model, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The company has also prototyped a revised Siri Remote equipped with a built-in speaker to help users locate it when misplaced.
In addition, Apple has experimented with integrating microphones directly into the Apple TV 4K, allowing voice commands to Siri without needing the remote or a HomePod. It remains unclear whether these features will be included in the final product. The new Apple TV 4K is scheduled to reach stores on October 30, coinciding with the launch of a new HomePod mini, both expected to be announced at Apple's "Welcome home" event.
