Apple today unveiled two new Apple TV 4K models. The new Apple TV 4K is available in two configurations: Apple TV 4K (Wi-Fi), which offers 64GB of storage; and Apple TV 4K (Wi-Fi + Ethernet), which offers support for Gigabit Ethernet for fast networking and streaming, thread mesh networking protocol to connect even more smart home accessories, and twice the storage for apps and games (128GB).
The new Apple TV 4K with Siri Remote is available to order today at a new starting price of $129, with availability beginning Friday, November 4.
The new Apple TV 4K is powered by the A15 Bionic, which is up to 50% faster than the previous generation, for greater responsiveness, faster navigation, and snappier UI animations. GPU performance is now up to 30% faster than the previous generation, providing smoother gameplay.
“Apple TV 4K is the ultimate way for Apple users to enjoy their favorite entertainment on the biggest screen in the home, and now it is more powerful than ever,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The new Apple TV 4K is unlike anything else out there, given its seamless connection to other Apple devices, ease of use, and access to amazing Apple content. It offers something for everyone in the family to love.”
Apple TV 4K now supports HDR10+, in addition to Dolby Vision. Users can also enjoy a home theater experience with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital 7.1, or Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound for immersive audio.
The included Siri Remote offers the same design and functionality as the previous generation and uses USB-C for charging.
