One of the devices that we have been talking about all year, and that we believed would come out in 2025, is the new Apple TV. However, there are many people who have doubts about it, because there are just over 2 months left, and Apple does not usually release anything in December.
That is why, like the AirTag 2, there is concern about it, and it may be delayed until 2026, despite the fact that the latest rumors continue to place it in this period, and an imminent announcement is about to come out, so we are going to review what it would be like.
New Apple TV 4K: features
Apple is preparing to launch the new generation of the Apple TV 4K before the end of 2025. Although the exterior design will remain practically the same, internally there will be significant improvements that make this model quite different from the previous one. This new version promises to be more powerful and versatile, consolidating Apple TV as the entertainment and connectivity center in the home. Among the main new features are:
- A17 Pro Chipthe same one used by the iPhone 15 Pro, which will allow much smoother performance in applications and games, in addition to enabling Apple Intelligence for automatic recommendations and smart features within the system. In addition, it could be used as a console.
- N1 network chip with Wi-Fi 7which will offer faster connections and establish lower latency, ideal for 4K/8K streaming and online gaming without interruptions.
- Siri with ChatGPT-like advanced intelligence capabilities, enabling more natural voice interactions, complex commands and more precise responses to user requests.
- Possible front camera that would allow video calls to be made directly from the Apple TV, without the need for an iPhone, and that could also be used for gesture controls.
- tvOS 26 with “Liquid Glass” design, more attractive and fluid interface, improvements in profile selection and Live Captions for FaceTime.
- Option to use the iPhone as a microphone for Apple Music Sing, making the karaoke experience at home easier.
- Possible cheaper version of the Apple TV 4K, while the version with the new advanced chips will continue to be more expensive, offering options for different budgets.
In short, the new Apple TV 4K will not change on the outside, but on the inside it will be another story. With more power, better connection and new functions, it aims to be much more than a content player. Now you can drive demanding games, respond with a much smarter Siri and even be used for video calls. Apple seems to want the Apple TV to be the focal point of the living room: a device with which you can watch, play, sing and talk without complications, maintaining the simplicity and style that have always characterized it.
And you, are you one of those who are satisfied with the current device, or do you want to see this version now, and, above all, its price? For those of us who do not yet have one, it is something we have been waiting for for a long time, because purchasing the old model now is a bad decision, even though we do not yet know when it will officially be released.
