Apple would have finally postponed the release of its next Apple TV. The
latter would however benefit from a good update for its hardware
configuration.
Initially expected at the end of last year on the
occasion of the various announcements made by Apple, the streaming box
should finally see the light of day at the end of the year.

Apple TV 6 to be unveiled in November
According to LeaksApplePro
on Twitter, the Apple TV 6 is indeed slated for release next November,
which is consistent with previous reports from leaker Jon Prosser. This
information also agrees on another point: better performance, which in
itself, is not really the revelation of the century.
While
Prosser's information relied on the A12Z chip currently present in the
iPad Pro, LeaksApplePro explains having obtained information according
to which this next model would be powered by the A14, that is to say the
chip embedded within the iPhone 12 and the new iPad Air.
In
terms of graphics performance, the A14 is 8% faster than the A12Z
according to tests carried out and published on the Geekbench tool. As a
reminder, the current Apple TV 4K is powered by the A10X chip.
A more practical remote control
In its tweet, LeaksApplePro also
mentions a new design for the included remote control. Note in passing
that the company was also working on peripheral accessories. Some are
already imagining a controller to transform the Apple TV into a console
via the Apple Arcade subscription. Indeed, since tvOS 13, released in
the fall of 2019, it is possible to pair an Xbox or PS4 controller to
Apple TV.
The remote control that came with the Apple TV left
many puzzled. Some consider it too small, others regret that it only has
six buttons. Finally, others hate navigation on the touchpad.
For
this next model, Apple would have planned to embed the “Locate”
functionality and therefore to take advantage of the U1 chip available
since the iPhone 11. It would also not be surprising that this remote
control presents a shortcut dedicated to the Apple TV + service.
