Announced: Apple TV 4K (2021)
Apple TV 4K
The Apple TV 4K has an A12 Bionic chip processor that is more powerful than its predecessor. As a result, the Apple TV 4K supports movies and games with 60Hz, so moving images appear on your TV smoothly. In addition, this media player supports Dolby Vision for AirPlay. That means the videos you record with your iPhone 12 Pro are shown off to their full potential. With the right HDMI cable, you can transfer high-quality images and sounds to your TV and peripherals via the HDMI 2.1 connector. The storage hasn't changed much compared to this TV's predecessor, since there's a 32GB version and a 64GB version.
Siri Remote
The improved Siri Remote is included with the new Apple TV by default, but it's also available separately. The new Siri Remote has a touch-sensitive clickpad, so you can easily swipe through all of the menus. With the ring surrounding the clickpad, you can effortlessly scroll through your video content to rewind or fast forward. Press the Siri button on the side to control the Apple TV 4K with voice controls.
