An image of the new Apple TV 4K hardware appears to have leaked, showing that there's nothing new on the outside. But big changes are rumored for the inside.

The current Apple TV 4K was released in October 2022, and a new model has been rumored to be in the cards for some time. The model on store shelves today features an aging A15 Bionic chip and just 4GB of RAM.

Now, the image file reported by MacRumors has revealed the new Apple TV 4K's upgrades will all be internal, with Apple choosing to stick with its tried and tested design of a small, featureless black box. Rumored upgrades will make the new Apple TV 4K a more capable streaming and gaming device while bringing Siri AI to the TV for the first time.

The iPhone 18 Pro's A20 Pro is expected to be a huge upgrade for gamers, while a doubling of RAM to 8GB will also be beneficial. Both upgrades will allow Apple to bring Siri AI to the Apple TV 4K. Apple's N1 chip is set to bring super-fast Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support. A revised Siri Remote is also expected. The price remains unknown, with the current model at $199.
