Apple has refreshed its Apple TV 4K streaming box, which now comes with the A15 Bionic chipset, HDR10+, and more features, along with a relatively affordable price. The new Apple TV 4K also has support for a new remote with a USB Type-C port.
The new Apple TV supports 4K, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision for rich visuals. And there’s support for Dolby Atmos, 5.1, and 7.1 audio for a surround sound experience. The A15 Bionic chipset offers up to 50% faster CPU and 30% improved GPU performance than the predecessor Apple TV 4K launched last year.
The new Siri remote control comes with support for a USB Type-C port for charging, which is an interesting move. For those who don’t know, Apple has also included USB-C in its 10th-Gen iPad, thus, moving in the direction of enabling more of its products with the standard. With the EU making USB-C a universal standard, maybe, the iPhones in the future could soon start getting them! The remote also comes with a touch-enabled clickpad.
Price and Availability
The new Apple TV 4K comes in two variants. The 64GB with only Wi-Fi is priced at Rs 14,900 and the 128GB variant with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (offers Gigabit Ethernet and Thread mesh networking protocol) retails at Rs 18,900. To recall, the 2021 Apple TV 4K was priced at Rs 19,900.
