Briefings

Apple announced new hardware updates including a Siri Remote with Precision Finding and a new Siri-enabled Apple TV 4K featuring built-in microphones and an A19 chip. The new Apple TV 4K offers 128GB storage at $299, a price increase from previous models, and ships November 13. It supports up to four second-generation HomePods or four mini 2 speakers for surround sound, provided they are paired correctly. Find My with Precision Finding requires the new fourth-generation Siri Remote.

Key points

• The new Apple TV 4K includes built-in microphones allowing Siri voice commands without a remote.
• The new Siri Remote enables Precision Finding via a new Bluetooth Channel Sounding protocol.

Context

Apple expanded its smart home ecosystem with new hardware, allowing users to locate devices with precision and control audio setups via Siri. The new Apple TV 4K represents a significant price increase to $299 compared to prior models, signaling a shift toward premium features and storage capacity.

Limitations

Precision Finding requires the specific fourth-generation Siri Remote, which is not yet available for purchase. The new Apple TV 4K's A19 chip and AV1 decoder performance under real-world streaming conditions remain untested. Pre-order availability is limited to November 13, and the exact impact of the new chip on bandwidth efficiency is not quantified.
