Apple TV 4K Review: The Best Streamer for Apple Fans, but I Wouldn't Rush to Upgrade
- Apple released the 4th-generation Apple TV 4K on Tuesday, featuring the A19 chip, hands-free Siri AI, and Wi-Fi 7 support after a four-year gap since the previous model.
- The device carries a $299 price tag, $150 more than the 2022 predecessor at launch; Apple eliminated cheaper Wi-Fi-only configurations with lower storage to streamline its lineup.
- New capabilities include support for up to four HomePods in surround sound and Precision Finding on the Siri Remote, allowing users to locate the device via iPhone within about two feet.
- Built-In far-field microphones enable hands-free Siri commands for media and smart home control, while the device functions as a hub for Matter and HomeKit accessories with "thousands" compatible.
- Despite the A19 chip's performance gains, the $299 price positions it as a premium investment compared to cheaper streaming sticks, though it remains the top choice for users integrated into Apple's ecosystem.
