On Tuesday, Apple introduced a range of smart home gadgets, with a focus on the latest iteration of the Apple TV 4K. This fourth-generation set-top box emphasizes seamless integration with Apple's advanced AI, Siri. According to Apple, the new Apple TV 4K receives a "supercharge" from Siri AI, enabling users to engage with the assistant through voice commands while watching content, even when something is already playing on the TV.
The device can offer personalized recommendations based on user preferences, provide real-time details about the movie or show being watched, and answer general inquiries, like the appropriateness of the content.
Technically, the new Apple TV 4K is equipped with the A19 chipset, the same chip found in the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air. It boasts up to 50% faster CPU performance and 2x faster GPU performance compared to its predecessor. Despite the hands-free functionality of Siri AI, the new Apple TV 4K still includes a remote control, which can be located using the Find My feature.
Additionally, up to four HomePod mini 2 or HomePod (2nd generation) speakers can be connected to the Apple TV 4K, creating a surround sound experience. The device also syncs with other smart home products, such as compatible doorbells to display visitors on the TV screen or unlocking doors via a compatible smart lock. Other features include customizable iCloud photo feeds, a dynamic screen saver, and the ability to view FaceTime calls on the TV screen via the Continuity Camera option.
The new Apple TV 4K will be available for purchase starting November 13 at a price of $299 and can be pre-ordered now on the Apple Store website.
