What to Expect From the Next-Generation Apple TV Launching Next Year

[SactoGuy18]

I wonder if the next Apple TV box use the real M2 SoC instead of the A16 SoC.

You already can.

Can you use HomePod Minis as the back speakers?

As have the last two updates to the Apple TV. I bought the first 4K model assuming it'd be future-proof for a while. Then Apple started churning out new 4K models every year. Other than Thread and Apple Music Sing support, I fail to see what these new models do that the old ones don't.

So, it does sound like your first 4K model DID future-proof you, since the later models weren't much better.
