So if you want to upgrade your remote without buying a new Apple TV, here you go-you can do it for $59.The tech giant's own Apple TV Plus and Apple TV app are available for Apple TV 3rd generation and later. And though it was designed for the new Apple TV, it’s compatible with all the previous model Apple TVs, including the Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K. You can also purchase the new Apple TV 4K remote-called the Siri Remote-separately. But you don’t have to spend $179 to get a new remote, because you can buy it separately for your old Apple TV as well. Just point your iPhone at the TV screen and your Apple TV will adjust the color balance automatically for the best picture quality no matter what your room’s lighting conditions.Īnd don’t forget the new remote, which for some people who really dislike the first-gen controller, might be reason enough to upgrade all on its own. Perhaps the coolest new feature is the Apple TV 4K’s color calibration mode. It also works with Apple’s growing library of special services, like Apple Fitness+, Apple Music and Apple Arcade. It continues to support AirPlay, HomeKit and Siri, just like the first-generation Apple TV 4K. The Apple TV 4K also includes Dolby Atmos for enhanced surround sound support as well as Dolby Vision HDR. (Though otherwise, you probably won’t notice much of an improvement.) The A12 Bionic is more than capable of handling all the streaming demands of the Apple TV 4K, including 4K upscaling and a new feature: high frame rate HDR, which should improve sports and some movies.

Keep in mind that the Apple TV 4K doesn’t need the absolute bleeding edge in processing power, which is why you won’t find something ludicrously overpowered like the M1 chip in here. The same-as-always exterior hides a major processor upgrade: It now comes with the A12 Bionic, the same chipset you’ll find in last year’s iPad.
