Last week, Woozad has discovered evidence of an Apple TV 4K (4th generation), and now an Apple support document has hinted at a new model.
Apple updated a support document for lossless audio in Apple Music on Monday with the following fine print under the Apple TV 4K section:
Hi-Res Lossless is only available on Apple TV 4K (3rd generation or later).
Given that the Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is the current model, the “or later” label is noteworthy, as it could mean a new model is imminent. However, Apple could simply perpetuate the document or have made a mistake.
Regardless, the support document adds to the growing anticipation for a new Apple TV 4K, which is expected to be announced in October.
The next Apple TV is rumored to have an A19 or A19 Pro chip, an increase from 8GB to 12GB of RAM, support for Apple Intelligence and Siri AI, an Apple-designed N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, and a revised Siri Remote. The image of the Apple TV 4K (4th generation) we obtained last week revealed no design changes from the current model.
The current Apple TV is almost four years old and was announced in October 2022. It is equipped with an A15 Bionic chip and 4 GB of RAM.
In June, the Apple TV benefited from a price increase amid rising memory chip prices. In the United States, for example, the device now starts at $199, up from $129.
