Anticipation Builds for Next-Gen Apple TV 4K: Features & Price Speculation Ahead of Late 2025 Launch
Excitement is mounting as rumors suggest Apple is on track to debut a new version of the Apple TV 4K later this year, expected between September and December 2025. This highly anticipated refresh, three years after the current model’s launch, promises significant internal upgrades while retaining its familiar sleek design.
Key speculation centers around a powerful new A-series chip, potentially the A17 Pro or A18, which could dramatically enhance gaming capabilities, bringing console-quality titles like Resident Evil 4 to the device. While the A17 Pro’s advanced 3-nanometer architecture and ray tracing support are appealing, Apple might opt for a more cost-effective A16 chip to align with rumored lower pricing goals.
Connectivity is also set for an upgrade with expected Wi-Fi 6E support, allowing for faster and more reliable connections on 6GHz networks. Bluetooth 5.3 and continued Thread integration for Matter smart home devices are also anticipated. Analyst predictions hint at a potential sub-$100 price point, a significant drop from the current model’s $129 starting price, aiming for a broader market appeal.
Despite the focus on the next-generation Apple TV 4K, separate rumors persist about other innovative Apple home devices, including a combined Apple TV, smart speaker, and FaceTime camera unit, and a dedicated smart home display, though these are distinct from the imminent Apple TV refresh.
