The latest version of Apple’s Apple TV was launched in 2022. It's powered by the A15 Bionic chipset, supports HDR10+, has a built-in Siri remote, and has a USB-C charging port. While the current Apple TV is a few years old, it's due for an upgrade, and the latest evidence suggests that it's coming soon.
New Apple TV hardware is expected to be released later this year. Notably, the new Apple TV will replace the current Apple TV 4K, which will eventually be discontinued. "Apple is still expected to release a new Apple TV later this year, according to a reliable source," the report said.
While the source didn't provide any further details about the device's hardware, it confirmed the launch timeline previously shared by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. Gurman noted that Apple could launch a new Apple TV 4K by the end of 2025, and new evidence supports that claim.
Additionally, Apple plans to launch several Apple TV+ originals in September, so it would be a good time to launch new Apple TV devices. The latest tvOS 26 even hints that the new Apple TV might come with a built-in camera.
Apple is likely to release a new Apple TV at a conference on September 9, when it is also expected to launch an upgraded version of the iPhone 17 series. The new Apple TV hardware will likely feature a new chipset, support for Wi-Fi 7, Apple-developed Bluetooth and, for the first time, a Wi-Fi chip that will allow Apple devices to sync better.
