The last time Apple updated the media device was late 2022
While it is true that there is not much room for improvement between one generation of Apple TV and another, it is also true that It's been a long time since the launch of Apple's latest streaming device. The last time the Californian company updated its Apple TV was in October 2022.
On this occasion, the new Apple TV 4K was updated with an A15 Bionic chip, HDR10+ support and a USB-C port for a starting price of 169 dollars in 64 GB and 128 GB options. The previous version included an Apple A12 chip.
This time, rumor has it that Apple could present a new Apple TV 4K with excellent news at the end of 2025there is even talk that a cheaper Apple TV could be launched. In this guide we will review all the improvements and changes that the Apple TV 4K of 2025 could integrate.
Next-gen Apple TV 4K release date
Apple could launch a new Apple TV in 2025
It's already playing. This 2025 should be the year of the Apple TV 4K update. But when will it be officially presented?
Marc Gurmanawareness initiated of Apple, believes that the Cupertino company has big plans for 2025, which include the launch of a new Apple TV 4K model.
According to his words, the new generation Apple TV 4K could land on the market environment at the end of the year.
Normally, Apple usually presents two different types of events during the last months of the year. In September, the company usually introduces new models of iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch.
On the other hand, during the October event Apple tends to update its Mac computers, although in 2024 the company has replaced its traditional October event with an exciting week of announcements with new iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pro equipped with M4 chips.
Taking these data into account, it is very likely that Apple presents its new Apple TV 4K during the month of October 2025facing a possible launch in November.
What new features will Apple TV 4K have?
Everything we know about the Apple TV 4K of 2025
For now, it is too early to know all the details that encompass the possible new features that will be integrated into the technical specifications of the Apple TV 4K of 2025, Few leaks have occurred on this subject and the project team is generally much more secretive than the rest of Apple's engineering teams.
But we can get an idea of certain new features that could accompany the launch of the Apple TV 4K at the end of 2025 depending on the context of the Apple ecosystem.
First, the 2025 Apple TV 4K is expected to include an Apple-designed Wi-Fi modem that will focus on improve connectivity of the multimedia content device for synchronization with new home automation products, among which a smart doorbell and a smart screen inspired by the iPad stand out.
On the other hand, one should also expect new artificial intelligence features for Apple TV 4K with Apple Intelligence. Most of the platform's AI features don't make much sense for Apple TV, like text tools or image generation. But we were able to see the redesigned Siri interface with its new internal improvements as a better understanding of the language and better recognition context.
And to offer support for Apple Intelligence, the new Apple TV 4K will have to integrate an A17 Pro chip or an A18 chip, accompanied by 8 GB of RAM. So far, all we can guess about the Apple TV 4K news, although we could continue with some guesswork…
For example, Apple's small streaming device hasn't had any design changes in a decade. This could be the perfect opportunity to launch an Apple TV 4K in two colors: silver and space black. The Siri Remote could also be redesigned to offer two color versions.
That's everything we know about the Apple TV 4K. Of course, all these changes will be accompanied new software featureswhich will probably be very focused on artificial intelligence. The launch of tvOS 18, the operating system for Apple TV 4K, was clearly focused on cinematography and audiovisual with the iSight function to know the details of the actors in a scene, personalized spatial audio, sub live titles for FaceTime, voice isolation for AirPods. Pro and more.
