The third-generation Apple TV 4K announced this week is a relatively minor update, but the device still has at least 10 new features and changes. We’ve rounded up everything new with the latest Apple TV below for those looking for a quick overview.
What’s new with the latest Apple TV:
- A15 Bionic chip: The new Apple TV features the A15 Bionic chip for up to 50% faster performance than the previous model with the A12 Bionic chip. Apple says this results in better responsiveness and faster browsing. Apple adds that graphics performance is up to 30% faster for smoother gaming.
- 4 GB of RAM: The new Apple TV is equipped with 4 GB of RAM, compared to 3 GB in the previous model, for better responsiveness.
- 128 GB storage option: The new Apple TV is available with up to 128 GB of storage, compared to a maximum of 64 GB for the previous model.
- HDR10+ support: In addition to Dolby Vision, the new Apple TV now supports HDR10+ content in supported apps.
- Siri remote with USB-C port: The new Siri Remote has a USB-C port instead of Lightning for charging.
- Thinner and lighter design: Apple says the increased power efficiency of the A15 Bionic chip has removed the internal fan from the new Apple TV, giving the device a more compact design that’s about 12% thinner and about 50% lighter than the previous model.
- No more “TV” branding on the top: The new Apple TV no longer has “TV” printed on the top of the device and simply has a centered Apple logo.
- Reduced price : The new Apple TV starts at $129 with 64GB of storage, while the previous model started at $179 with 32GB of storage. Although you have to spend $149 to get an Ethernet port, Thread support and 128GB of storage, it’s still cheaper than any of last year’s models.
- No charging cable in the box: The new Apple TV comes without a charging cable in the box for the Siri Remote, except in Brazil. Apple sells a new woven USB-C cable separately for $19.
- Packaging changes: The new Apple TV comes in a slightly more rectangular box which no longer has an outer plastic film.
The new Apple TV 4K is available to order now and will launch Friday, November 4 in the US and more than 30 other countries.
