New Apple TV 4K leak suggests much faster chip
Leaked Apple code points to the next Apple TV 4K getting an A19 or A19 Pro chip, which is a step up from the previously expected A17 Pro. Sources agree this would nearly double its power over the current model. Expect Siri voice assistant upgrades, possibly thanks to this chip, plus boosted memory—8GB or 12GB of RAM versus today's 4GB. Wi-Fi 7 and a new remote are also rumored.
