TLDR

MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris found an Apple image file labeled “Apple TV 4K (4th generation).” The pictured box keeps the current model’s external shape, so the meaningful changes are expected inside. Separate Apple code found by Perris points to an A19 or A19 Pro chip and 8GB or 12GB of RAM, while other reported upgrades include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Siri AI support and a revised remote. Apple has not announced the device, its price or a release date.

An Apple image file for an unreleased Apple TV 4K identifies the device as the fourth generation while showing a box that looks almost identical to the model on sale today. MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris found the file, giving the long-rumored refresh a product label but no visible redesign.

That makes the image a useful confirmation of the hardware's existence and appearance, not a complete specification sheet. Apple has not announced the device, and the file does not establish a release date or price.

The meaningful changes are expected inside

The current Apple TV 4K arrived in October 2022 with an A15 Bionic chip and 4GB of RAM. Separate Apple code found by Perris points to an A19 or A19 Pro chip for its successor, which MacRumors reports would imply 8GB or 12GB of RAM.

That newer silicon could matter more than the familiar shell. MacRumors reports that the refresh is expected to support Apple's newer Siri AI features, while an Apple-designed N1 networking chip could add Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. A revised Siri Remote is also rumored, although its outward changes remain unclear.

Those details come from earlier code findings and reporting rather than the newly discovered image. Until Apple introduces the box, its final chip, memory configuration and feature set remain unconfirmed.

Price and timing are still open

Apple raised U.S. Apple TV 4K prices in June 2026. The 64GB Wi-Fi model now starts at $199, and the 128GB Wi-Fi + Ethernet version starts at $249. MacRumors notes that October is a common month for Apple product announcements, but Apple has not set a date or indicated whether the fourth-generation model will keep those prices.
