The new Apple TV 4K features the A12 Bionic processor and HDMI 2.1 which brings high-frame-rate HDR to the Apple TV for the first time. It also features a completely redesigned Siri Remote to make controlling the Apple TV easier than ever before.

At the heart of the new Apple TV 4K is the A12 Bionic chip that provides a significant boost in graphics performance, video decoding, and audio processing. And with an all-new design, the Siri Remote makes it even easier to watch shows and movies on Apple TV with intuitive navigation controls. Together with tvOS — the most powerful TV operating system — Apple TV 4K works seamlessly with Apple devices and services to magically transform the living room in ways that everyone in the family will love.

Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said that the new Apple TV 4K "delivers a massive upgrade to any TV for the very best cinematic experience."
