The official announcement has arrived. A New Apple TV 4K model will be released in 2021. It’s exciting news.
Rumors about a new Apple TV have circulated for over a year, and now it’s confirmed. We finally have concrete information.
The original Apple TV 4K was launched in 2017. It seems like this new device is poised to take its place. It will likely replace the older model entirely.
The announcement came today, April 20, 2021, during Apple’s yearly event. The event also showcased a new iPad Pro, a redesigned iMac, AirTags, and other exciting products.
Bob Borchers, Apple’s VP of Worldwide Product Marketing, shared insights about Apple’s new device:
“Apple TV 4K occupies a unique space. It leverages the deep integration of Apple’s hardware, software, and services. This delivers a substantial upgrade to any TV, providing the best cinematic experience.”

New Apple TV 4K Official Release
Watch Apple’s official release video below for a closer look:
The video highlights some notable features of the new Apple TV 4K model. These include a new Siri Remote, 4K High Frame Rate HDR, Colour Balance with iPhone, and an A12 Bionic Chip. There are even more features to discover beyond these.
The “Colour Balance” software feature is quite innovative. It lets iPhone owners calibrate the color settings of their Apple TV using their phones. This ensures the best possible image quality.
The upgraded Apple TV 4K does carry a higher price tag. It’s pricier than other popular Streaming Devices currently available.
The 32GB model starts at $179, while the 64GB version is priced at $199. You can also buy the new Siri Remote separately, which costs $59.
Pre-orders for the new Apple TV 4K open on April 30th. The device will be available in the US and 30 other regions starting in May.
It will be fascinating to observe how this upgraded Apple TV 4K performs. We’ll see how it stacks up against the best streaming devices on the market. It faces some stiff competition.
Its rivals include the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV Cube, NVIDIA Shield Pro, and Chromecast with Google TV, among others. It’s a crowded field.
The Amazon Firestick 4K currently dominates as the most popular streaming device. This is largely thanks to its affordability, ease of “jailbreaking,” portability, and other appealing features. It offers a lot for a relatively low price.
TROYPOINT, like Roku, hasn’t historically recommended Apple TV devices for streaming. This is primarily due to the high cost and the closed operating system. They present certain limitations.
