A New Apple TV

The last time Apple refreshed the Apple TV was back in 2017, when the iPhone 8 was still the mainstream iPhone design and the iPhone X was revolutionary, rather than standard. So there’s no doubt that the set-top box is due for an update, especially in an era of Apple Arcade, and we’ve heard that one is coming very soon.

While the Apple TV 4K is no slouch when it comes to handling video streaming, the new Apple TV is expected to get a boost to Apple’s A12 chip, along with doubling the storage capacities, likely as a nod to its shifting role into a gaming platform.

We’ve also recently heard rumours that Apple will be bundling a new Siri Remote with Find My support built-in, so you’ll be able to find it more easily when it slips under the couch cushion. We still have no guarantee as to when this new set-top box will arrive, but it’s a safe bet that we can expect it sometime this fall, either at another upcoming Apple event, or possibly even just slipped out more quietly via press release once it’s ready.
