Apple Announces New Apple TV 4K With A15 Bionic Chip and HDR10+ for $129

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced an updated Apple TV 4K model with the A15 Bionic chip, support for HDR10+, and an updated Siri Remote, for a starting price of $129.

The A15 Bionic chip gives the Apple TV 4K "faster performance and more fluid gameplay," according to Apple. The efficiency gains of the A15 allow the Apple TV to provide a thinner, lighter, fanless design for the first time, and it uses almost 30 percent less power than the previous generation.

The device now supports HDR10+ for higher-quality video playback. The new Apple TV 4K also comes alongside an updated Siri Remote with a USB-C port.

The new Apple TV 4K is available in a 64GB configuration with Wi-Fi for a lower starting price of $129, sitting below a 128GB Wi-Fi configuration that also has an Ethernet port and support for Thread networking. It is available to order today and orders will begin to arrive to customers on Friday, November 4.

Nice! But gonna stick to my ATV4K 2021. Continues to serve me well!

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

Ok
So I guess hdr 10+ won’t come to previous Apple TV or MacBooks ?

 

[exoticSpice]

Ok that's good.

 

[MrBlaz3]

No 4k?

 

[exoticSpice]

And takes out the £.12 Ethernet port…😂

Its still there, there's two teirs now but the HD Apple TV is gone.

 

[nfl46]

Wait. They actually dropped the price? Wow.

 

[syklee26]

No new features? Mine is fine.

 

[exoticSpice]

No 4k?

There is 4k. No more HD apple tv.

I rarely buy on the release date, but this may be an instant buy for me. The price is right and I’m sick of my janky Roku.

 

[mozumder]

An A15 Apple TV would make a nice game console, at a great price, too.

 

[RedTheReader]

No ethernet port… really guys? I guess the refurbished Apple TV 4K my family got in 2018 lives on.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

No new features? Mine is fine.

Hdr 10+ ..

 

[TallGuyGT]

I'd buy one if the store would come back up. This seems to be the longest the store has been down for a refresh that I can remember.

A faster Apple TV is very welcome!

 

[exoticSpice]

No new features? Mine is fine.

A15, HDR10+ and USB C Siri remote

 

[Blackstick]

The Siri Remote has the same beloved design and functionality as the previous generation, and adopts USB-C for charging.

And here we go!

 

[Kylo83]

What’s the point of the a15 there’s nothing on the Apple TV that needs a cpu update the games run on older ones fine

 

[Eduardo1971]

I have the last 4K version-not much of a reason to ‘upgrade’ for me.

 

[thadoggfather]

$129 - that's what the ATV4k 2021 should've been priced in the first place.

That's probably the best part of the announcement

Guess I'm not upgrading though, as I just got mine in the spring

 

[syklee26]

It will be funny if Apple store was down just for this

 

[MobiusTech]

Is there an AirTag built in? If not I am going to pass again....

 

[mrat93]

USB-C remote?! Christmas came early. Hopefully AirPods follow suit so I don’t end up splurging on AirPods Pro 2 with a case that can’t charge with next year’s iPhone.

 

[gadget123]

Huh a new Siri Remote? That looks the exact same as the last model!! What’s different?
