Apple TV 4K Getting A19 Chip and a Potentially Easier-to-Find Siri Remote

“Easier to find Siri Remote” you say…

I’m envisioning this with a click wheel.

Apple introduces Apple TV Studio

The remote you love. Now Easier than ever to find.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA — Apple today introduced Apple TV Studio, bringing the cinematic experience you love together with a breakthrough in remote location.

“Our most attached remote ever,” said Apple’s vice president of Remote Retention. “We asked how to make the remote easier to find. Then someone pointed at a bank pen.”

Apple TV Studio features a precision-engineered aerospace grade stainless steel cable that creates a seamless physical connection between you, your entertainment, and the furniture you’re now dragging across the room.

Find My. By cable. No app. No battery. No walking around holding your iPhone like a radiation detector. Just follow the steel.

Introducing the Cable Reservoir. Beautifully coiled beneath Apple TV, the Cable Reservoir stores additional reach until you need it. Because “extra wire” didn’t sound like $499.

Locked into the ecosystem. Literally. A combination dial lock keeps your remote in the Apple family. Its intuitive mechanical interface introduces an entirely new way to forget a password.

“For years, customers have asked us to make the remote harder to lose,” the spokesperson added. “So we decided to reinvent the cable.”

Apple TV Studio starts at $499. Customers seeking to sit farther from their television can purchase the revolutionary Cable Plus cable extension upgrade for $29.99.

They better not increase the price if it has 8gb ram and only a a19 chip

Challenge accepted!

I hope they don't build a mic into the ATV itself. That's all we'd need -- yet another device in the house constantly listening. At least with the remote, you have to press the Siri button to have it listen.

As long as the new device supports AV1, I will upgrade.

So 8 GB RAM, not gonna get the most advanced Siri AI models, but highly doubt most people (or anyone?) will care. I’m definitely picking one up.
