SOFTWARE AND UPDATES

Apple is preparing to refresh the Apple TV 4K with hardware changes that could simplify daily interactions with the device. The update aims to remove the need to shout commands across a room or hunt for a lost remote. These adjustments target two common pain points for home theater users.

Apple tests built-in mics and speaker remote to simplify Siri commands

The upcoming model is expected to feature a faster A19 chip to support revamped Siri AI features. Apple has also tested built-in microphones for the TV itself to enable direct voice commands. This would allow users to issue commands without holding the remote.

  • Microphone: Built-in microphones for Siri voice commands
  • Remote Speaker: Siri Remote with an integrated speaker to help users find it
  • Processor: Faster A19 chip

Apple is reportedly testing a Siri Remote with an integrated speaker to help users locate the device. The speaker would activate when the remote is misplaced, making it easier to find under cushions or behind furniture. These features are still in the testing phase and may not appear in the final product.

The new Apple TV 4K is expected to go on sale around October 30, 2026. Apple is expected to announce the device at its 'Welcome Home' event on October 13, 2026. Buyers should wait for the official announcement to confirm which rumored features will be included.
