First Leak of the 2026 Apple TV 4K: A19/Pro Chipset and Siri AI Support
Information technology expert Aaron Perris posted on X platform yesterday (September 8th) that he found traces of the AppleTV18,1 hardware while analyzing the tvOS 27 Beta update code. This is presumed to be new Apple TV 4K hardware.
In terms of the chipset, according to the detailed content of the code, the new Apple TV 4K hardware will be equipped with an A19 or A19 Pro chipset (the 2022 Apple TV 4K is equipped with an A15 chipset), and the memory may be increased to 8GB or 12GB to meet the requirements of Apple Intelligence execution (the 2022 Apple TV has 4GB).
In terms of the AI experience, as IT Home reported last August, the Siri item was added to the list of system internal apps in the tvOS 27 Beta 6 code, and a string "com.apple.campo" was connected. Here, "campo" is an internal codename that Apple uses for Siri AI, indicating that the new Apple TV hardware will support Siri AI.
In terms of operation, the next-generation Apple TV 4K will be provided with an upgraded Siri Remote remote control according to the system code of Apple macOS 26.7.
