CarlHOST
Yeah.
CarlHOST
So this, is it the smallest one? I mean, look, you've got an upgrade to the A19 chip, the same as you got on the iPhone 17, replacing the old A15.
CarlHOST
Yeah.
CarlHOST
Apple are claiming 50% faster CPU and 2X faster GPU on it.
JayHOST
And it's got none of the Find My stuff.
JayHOST
I don't know why you need Find My on an Apple TV, but it's more for the remote, I think.
JayHOST
But the third gen is an A15, does two models, 128 gig if you want Ethernet, so that's the difference.
JayHOST
Wi-Fi 6 as well.
MattHOST
It has a much faster processor, so I somehow thought that the Apple TV had an A17.
MattHOST
It actually only has an A15 Bionic.
MattHOST
Now, when I say only, that's probably the wrong term, and it's definitely misleading, because the A15 Bionic is no slouch.
MattHOST
It's a fantastic processor.
MattHOST
To give you some perspective, this chip was introduced in the iPhone 13 series, and it is a fantastic chip.
MattHOST
It runs the arcade games just fine, and certainly all your movies and TV shows and everything.
MattHOST
And so it really is great.
MattHOST
But there's actually quite a leap then from that, the A15 Bionic, to what's in the new Apple TV now, which is the A19.
Chris WelchGUEST
Oh, my.
Mark GurmanHOST
So the standout features here, A19 chip, which is an upgrade over the A15 Bionic in the prior version of the Apple TV, but perhaps the biggest development when it comes to this new Apple TV is the price, $299, the same as the Home View.
Mark GurmanHOST
This is a shocking price increase.
Mark GurmanHOST
They went from $129, I believe, or $149.
HawkinsHOST
Now, the Apple TV fourth generation that's expected to be released tomorrow or announced tomorrow, this is expected to have the Apple A19 chip.
HawkinsHOST
It's been four years since the original Apple TV with the A15 chip, and now it will have the A19 chip.
HawkinsHOST
That means that it will be the first Apple TV to support Apple Intelligence because the, the latest Apple TV doesn't even have the proper chip to run it.
HawkinsHOST
It has the exact same chip as my iPhone 14, the A15 chip.
HawkinsHOST
And it should be running tvOS 27, potentially even tvOS 27.2, depending on whenever it gets released.
HawkinsHOST
So with the new Apple products, the Apple HomePod Mini second gen is expected to be $129.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Personalization features few other Apple devices offer.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Apple limits access to Siri AI based on a device's A series or M series chip, so it makes sense the aging chips in the current HomePod Mini, an S5 chip from the Apple Watch Series 5, and the Apple TV 4K, an A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13, would need to be swapped out for something new.
Imran ShaikhHOST
Bloomberg reports that both the Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini will be updated with faster chips that can run Siri AI, along with modest design updates.
Imran ShaikhHOST
The new Apple TV 4K will reportedly be powered by at least an A19 chip from the iPhone 17 lineup and feature a slightly redesigned remote along with it.
PresButtonsHOST
So I also want to talk about some specs I ran into on Instagram, and I saw some specs for the Apple TV 4K.
PresButtonsHOST
So for the Apple TV 4K 3rd generation, it has the A15 Bionic chip, it has Siri, it has 4GB of RAM, it has Wi-Fi 6, and it released back in 2022, so this is going to be a 4-year upgrade is what we're going to be getting here.
PresButtonsHOST
And then the new fourth generation that's supposed to launch on October 13th, it's going to have the A19 or A19 Pro.
PresButtonsHOST
It's going to have the N1 chip.
