Apple has released the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, updating its streaming box with significant internal enhancements. This new model features the A19 chip, offering improved CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessor. A key new hardware capability is the inclusion of built-in microphones for hands-free Siri interaction. The device also introduces support for four-speaker HomePod surround sound for a more immersive audio experience. It comes in a single 128GB configuration with Wi-Fi 7 and Gigabit Ethernet. The updated Siri Remote includes Precision Finding for easier location and a built-in speaker. Apple is also bringing enhanced Siri AI capabilities to the third-generation model via a software update. The upgrade decision hinges on whether users will benefit from the hands-free Siri or the advanced HomePod audio setup. Most existing third-generation owners may not need to upgrade unless these specific features are desired. For new buyers, the fourth-generation model is recommended if the price difference is minimal. However, discounted third-generation models remain a good value for those not seeking the new features. The new Apple TV starts at $299, with the updated Siri Remote sold separately for $59.
