According to rumors, the next-generation Apple TV 4K will include at least five new features: an A17 Pro chip or newer, increased RAM, Siri AI support, an Apple-designed N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, and an updated Siri Remote.

The current Apple TV uses the A15 Bionic chip from 2021. With an A17 Pro or newer chip, the device should have faster performance, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and support for Apple Intelligence features. The next model is also expected to have at least 8GB of RAM, up from 4GB.

tvOS 27 will likely add Siri AI to the Apple TV 4K, featuring a 'com.apple.campo' string linked to Apple's internal codename for Siri AI. This addition suggests Siri AI will debut this fall, potentially with a dedicated Siri app.

The next Apple TV will reportedly use Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, offering up to 4x faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6. The device is expected to launch in September or October 2026, possibly alongside new smart home products. Pricing remains uncertain after recent increases to $199 and $249 for current models.
