I need another Apple TV. Will a new one be released soon or should I just bite the bullet and buy the latest one available now?
Got a tip for us?

If you need an Apple TV now, I would just go and buy one. I don’t think there is an imminent release coming (unlike new iPad’s).
It could be months, or years away. No time like the present. Also a good opportunity to just shell out for a gaming console that supports 8k if that's what you're waiting for or need. They have Apple TV apps available.

My sources say Apple is going to leap over 8K and 16K and jump to a 32K AppleTV to be released on TUE. It includes a partnership with Sony for Playstation 11 games AND a partnership with Xbox for their entire game slate for 2042-44. Optional transporter pad and food replicator sold separately. 
We know nothing here. Only Apple knows answers to release date questions. A new one is very likely coming but #3 has the best call on timing.

New Apple TV 4K 2025 Is Coming With Major Upgrades - GadgetMates
For years, the Apple TV 4K has quietly been one of Apple’s most overlooked products—powerful, polished, and tightly integrated with the Apple ecosystem, yet

Pretty sure the 32gb model is dead. I can't see it making a comeback. There was none for the last gen. Also 5 sku's is way too many especially since typically there is no way to differentiate the models at a glance, even from the packaging itself. Unless retail only gets 64 and 128 and 256 and 512 are only available directly from Apple's online store.New Apple TV 4K 2025 Is Coming With Major Upgrades - GadgetMates

Also, we know how much Apple likes to charge for extra storage. $199 for 512gb seems highly unlikely. Like I have said before, if Apple gets overambitious with the specs, the pricing will start to head into base Mac Mini territory. And it would be strange to have an Apple TV with 512gbs and the base Mac Mini only having 256gbs.
Most likely the new Apple Tv will just get a spec bump. A slightly faster processor. Business as usual. Nothing to worry about, the current model will do just fine especially if you don't play any games on the device. The current remote is really good and even if that changes you can just buy that separately anyway.

I stopped reading at "8k video streaming". The article is obviously nothing but a wishlist for some gaming enthusiast.New Apple TV 4K 2025 Is Coming With Major Upgrades - GadgetMates

The usual purchasing advice applies, if you need it now buy it now.
Nobody outside of Apple knows when a new version will be released.
