Apple unveils $299 Apple TV 4K player; older models are getting Siri AI too
Apple has unveiled the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K and announced that Siri AI will also come to older devices. The feature will be enabled on the second- and third-generation models through a free software update. The new model with an A19 processor starts at $299 (about 510 manats). The fourth-generation device will go on sale on November 13, 2026.
The list includes the second-generation Apple TV 4K, released in 2021, and the third-generation model, unveiled in 2022. Siri AI will come to these devices as part of the tvOS 27.2 update. Although the update is expected to be released in fall 2026, an exact date has not yet been announced. The feature will come preinstalled on the new model. Siri AI will initially be available in beta in English in the US, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the UK. The updated assistant will be able to take personal information and previous requests into account. For example, users will be able to ask about movies and albums whose names they have forgotten and receive content recommendations that better match their tastes. No date has been announced for other countries and languages.
It is not known whether Siri AI features will be limited on older models. Apple has not clarified whether all the new features will work on those devices. The older models do not have built-in microphones that can pick up sound from a distance. Therefore, commands will be issued using the Siri Remote. The new model can receive voice commands from a distance without the remote and also has a more powerful processor. The updated Siri Remote will also work with previous-generation Apple TV models. The remote has a speaker that emits sound and a UWB-based Precision Finding feature. A compatible iPhone can pinpoint the location of a lost remote. The remote also emits sound to make it easier to find. The new remote costs $59 (about 100 manats). The fourth-generation device can be paired with 4 HomePod 2 or HomePod mini 2 speakers to create a surround sound system.
