Apple is working on a new generation of the Apple TV, which is rumored to be released in 2025. These are the expectations.
Apple TV 2025
A new Apple TV is coming! According to the usually reliable Apple expert Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a new generation of the device. The next Apple TV will be released in 2025 and will feature a host of improvements. It is expected that the Apple TV 2024 will have a new processor, probably the A18 chip. We already see the same chip in the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus. That is a big step, because the Apple TV currently still runs on the A15 Bionic chip.
This means that the Apple TV will support all the new features of Apple Intelligence. It is not yet clear exactly which AI features will come to the Apple TV, but the device will probably be expanded with the updated version of Siri. In addition, the Apple TV will be equipped with a new WiFi and Bluetooth chip in 2025, which Apple has developed itself. With the processor, the Apple TV has support for WiFi 6E, with the current generation this is still WiFi 6.
Apple TV gets a camera
With the new WiFi standard, the Apple TV 2025 has a faster wireless connection and the signal is disrupted less often. That’s a big advantage, but not the most important change we’ll see with the next generation of Apple TV. According to rumors, the device will have a built-in camera. That would be the first time, because previous generations of the Apple TV did not have a camera.
With tvOS 17, Apple already brought the FaceTime app to the Apple TV, so you can play video calls on the large television screen. You still need the camera of your iPhone or iPad for this. This will change with the Apple TV 2025, as you can use the camera of the device itself. That would mark the biggest change for the Apple TV in years.
Release and lower price
While Apple sells the Apple TV 2022 for a starting price of 169 euros, it is expected that the next generation will be cheaper. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously predicted that the Apple TV 2025 will have a starting price of $100 in the United States. The current Apple TV is sold there from $129, so that means a price drop of about $30.
If we calculate that difference in the Netherlands, we arrive at a starting price of 129 euros for the Apple TV 2025. The final price will only be announced when the device is officially released. We’ll have to wait a little longer for that, the Apple TV 2025 will probably only appear in September or October. Don’t want to wait that long?
