Apple is set to launch a new Apple TV 4K on October 13, bringing two major upgrades to the device. First and foremost, Apple's new Siri AI will be integrated into the Apple TV 4K, marking a significant upgrade for the television operating system. Unlike its introduction on other Apple platforms, Siri AI has been notably absent from Apple TV and HomePod, but this will soon change.
The new Siri on Apple TV 4K is expected to provide enhanced intelligence for discovering TV shows and movies, offer improved content recommendations, and power an improved InSight feature. Additionally, users will be able to ask Siri AI world knowledge questions, similar to other Siri-enabled devices. Another major upgrade is the introduction of a new chip, likely an A19 or A19 Pro chip, signaling a substantial improvement over the A15 chip currently powering the Apple TV 4K.
This chip upgrade comes as no surprise, given the Apple TV 4K's age - it hasn't been updated since 2022. The 'AppleTV18,1' identifier found in Apple's code suggests the new hardware model will use an A19-class chip. Speculation points towards the A19 Pro chip, as it supports customizing Siri AI's voice pace and expressivity, a feature not available with the A19 chip.
