  "account": "The new Apple TV 4K has been released at a price of $299 / £299 / AU$449, marking a significant price increase from previous models. This new version features built-in microphones for hands-free Siri control and compatibility with HomePod surrounds. The updated Siri Remote, now in its fourth generation, can emit a chirping sound to help locate it. Additionally, the new remote supports Precision Finding and works with older Apple TV models. While the new Apple TV 4K does offer improved audio capabilities and faster app launches with its A19 processor, it also comes with a higher price tag. With the new remote and surround sound setup, users can create a more immersive audio experience, although it may require investing in additional HomePod speakers.",
  "summary": "Apple’s new Apple TV 4K brings HomePod surround sound, a findable Siri Remote, and smarter Siri capabilities, but the $299 price tag makes this a much more expensive streaming box.",
