The new Apple TV 4K is expected to be released in March or April 2026, aligning with a broader Apple Home product launch. This timeline reflects a delay from earlier predictions of a late 2025 release, as Apple reportedly postponed the hardware launch to ensure it can fully support the advanced features of the upcoming tvOS 26.1, particularly on-device generative AI capabilities. The device is anticipated to feature the A17 Pro chip, 8GB of RAM, and a dedicated N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread connectivity, positioning it as a central hub for smart home integration and high-performance gaming.
