Apple's long-awaited Apple TV refresh is delayed until at least September 2026 due to unresolved Siri integration issues. While the new model will retain the familiar squircle design and black plastic housing, it will feature a significant upgrade to the A17 Pro chip, promising faster performance and enhanced graphics. The A17 Pro chip, used in the iPhone 15 Pro, represents a major leap from the current A15 Bionic, making the existing Apple TV model less compelling. September 2026 is the confirmed launch window, as Apple prioritizes fixing Siri before release. This delay means consumers waiting for the smarter Siri features tied to iOS 27 should hold off purchasing the current model.
