Apple is still on track to release a new Apple TV 4K model this year, MacRumors reports citing “a reliable source.” The current A15 Bionic-powered model will be discontinued, the source adds.
Hartley Charlton for MacRumors:
Today’s Apple TV 4K came out in 2022, featuring the A15 Bionic chip, support for HDR10+, and a tweaked Siri Remote with a USB-C port for charging…
The new model is expected to feature a newer chip, support for Wi-Fi 7, and an Apple-designed Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip for the first time, allowing Apple’s smart home devices to work better together and synchronize data faster. The next-generation Apple TV could also be less expensive, with Apple aiming to lower prices to make the device more competitive, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple is widely expected to debut a new version of the Apple TV in late 2025, between September and December.
MacDailyNews Note: Ryan Christoffel reports for 9to5Mac, “There’s a good chance we see the new Apple TV 4K at the iPhone 17 event next month. Per the latest rumors, September 9 is the scheduled event day… The Apple TV 4K could be held until later in the fall, but Apple has a big slate of Apple TV+ originals arriving in September and beyond, which it will likely promote at the iPhone event. As a result, it would make a lot of sense to market a new Apple TV 4K at the same time.”

Need to hit the $99.99 price point.
I have used AppleTV 4K, Roku Ultra, and GoogleTV. Roku is the easiest to use, and extremely price competitive.
Can’t wait for the release. The current one is fantastic already for no money; wondering what new features they come up with. Hopefully they won’t change the remote besides switching from lightning to USB-C.
