Apple may have announced new iPad models today, but the company is also updating its popular Apple TV streaming device.
Apple TV 4K (2022) vs Apple TV 4K (2021) Review: Is It Worth the Upgrade?
The just-announced next-generation Apple TV 4K is packed with useful features, thanks to the addition of the company’s A15 Bionic chipset. This chip boosts CPU performance by 50 percent over the previous model, enabling smoother navigation, faster UI animations, better responsiveness, and more.
The GPU has also been improved, with Apple saying the new chip is 30 percent faster when gaming on the device or using it to access various cloud gaming platforms. Speaking of cloud gaming, the new Apple TV models come in two designs. One is Wi-Fi only, but the other (finally) has an Ethernet port to provide stable connections for bandwidth-hungry applications.
The new Apple TV 4K supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision for more variety on more connected TVs. It also enhances the home theater experience with support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital 7.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1.
