The new Apple TV 4K was expected along with a number of other devices at an Apple press event back in March, the event never took place due to the coronavirus.
Apple has been releasing devices every week over the last few weeks and now it looks like the new Apple TV could launch some time soon. The news comes in a recent tweet from Jon Prosser who has revealed a number of Apple’s launches recently.

Enhanced Performance with A12X Processor
The Apple TV 4K will apparently come with an Apple A12X processor, which is a significant upgrade over the A10X Fusion chip found in the current model. The A12X Bionic chip, which also powers the iPad Pro, is known for its impressive performance and efficiency. This means users can expect faster load times, smoother streaming, and an overall more responsive experience. The enhanced graphics capabilities of the A12X will also make the Apple TV 4K a more capable device for gaming, especially with the growing library of games available on Apple Arcade.
Storage Options and Potential Features
The new Apple TV 4K is expected to come in two storage options: 64GB and 128GB. This is a welcome upgrade, as the current model only offers 32GB and 64GB options. More storage means users can download more apps, games, and content without worrying about running out of space. This is particularly useful for those who use the Apple TV as a central hub for their smart home, as it can store more data and settings locally.
While the tweet from Jon Prosser did not provide details on other upgrades and features, there are several possibilities that could make the new Apple TV 4K stand out. For instance, there have been rumors about a redesigned remote control, which could offer improved ergonomics and additional functionality. Additionally, the new Apple TV could support higher frame rates for 4K content, making it an even better choice for home theater enthusiasts.
Another potential feature is the integration of UWB (Ultra-Wideband) technology, which Apple has been incorporating into its latest devices. UWB could enable more precise location tracking and improved connectivity with other Apple devices, enhancing the overall user experience.
Software and Ecosystem Integration
The new Apple TV 4K will likely come with the latest version of tvOS, which brings a host of new features and improvements. tvOS 14, for example, introduced multi-user support, picture-in-picture mode, and expanded support for gaming controllers. These features make the Apple TV a more versatile and user-friendly device for the whole family.
Moreover, the Apple TV 4K is expected to integrate seamlessly with other Apple services and devices. For instance, users can take advantage of Apple One, a subscription bundle that includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and more. This integration makes it easier for users to access and enjoy a wide range of content and services from a single device.
