The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is now available for $300. The device features the A19 chip and comes with 128GB of internal storage as the standard configuration.
A key feature of the new model is support for a four-speaker surround sound system using HomePods. Users can pair two second-generation HomePods with two HomePod mini 2 speakers, provided the front and rear pairs match.
The included remote control now supports the Find My feature for location tracking and charges via USB-C. The device also includes built-in far-field microphones for voice commands.
The updated Siri AI integrates with personal context from connected iPhones or iPads. However, the system currently shows inconsistencies in voice recognition and request processing during testing.
Despite the premium price, the device lacks features such as audio passthrough and 120Hz support. The hardware design, including dimensions and port configuration, remains unchanged from the 2022 model.
