It has been a long time in coming, but Apple is preparing at least two big changes to the Apple TV 4K. Here's what we know about the streaming set-top box update set to finally arrive in the fall of 2026.

Previous updates to the Apple TV haven't been that major over the years, as there's only so much you can improve with a streaming box. However, that doesn't seem to be the case for the next iteration of Apple TV 4K.

Thanks to a pair of leaks that stem from Apple itself, there are two big confirmed changes on the horizon. The first is Siri AI integration, with references to "campos" — Apple's internal code name for Siri AI — appearing in tv OS 27. The second is a brand new Siri Remote, identified as "ATVRemote1,5" in macOS builds.

While these are the main changes that Apple has leaked, you can expect others. A new chip — likely at least an A17 Pro to enable Apple Intelligence — will probably accompany the update. Apple may also incorporate its N1 networking chip, supporting Bluetooth 6, Thread, and Wi-Fi 7. There's also hope for more storage capacity and native AV1 support.
