A new Apple TV apparently isn’t imminent – and that’s a shame
The current Apple TV 4K launched way back in 2022, but new rumors predict that a next-gen version won’t land at WWDC 2024 this month or anytime soon.
In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman predicts there will be no hardware announcements at WWDC 2024, which kicks off on June 10. That includes no new AirTag 2 (which apparently won’t arrive until 2025) and Gurman states that « a new Apple TV isn’t imminent either ».
Gurman previously predicted that Apple could launch a new Apple TV in the first half of 2024, though that rumor was from early 2023 and there has been little speculation about Apple’s streaming box since then.
The main rumors about a next-gen Apple TV back then were that it would have an upgraded processor like the A17 Pro. The latter would make sense given fresher rumors that it’s likely a minimum requirement to run Apple’s new on-device AI.
