Briefings
A 2026 article notes that the Apple TV 4K's new design and features closely resemble the previous model, with a four-year gap between releases. While the 2022 model received some improvements like a new chip and 4K/120Hz support, the new fourth-gen model still lacks several desired features such as audio passthrough and a remote locator. The device is priced at 128GB with Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, eliminating the cheaper 64GB Wi-Fi-only option. The article concludes that while some hopes were met, others were left out, with the final price point remaining unclear.
