Apple TV 4K skips the “A15” level, doubles the capacity, and also comes with HDR10 + support, but the price is cheaper!

Unexpectedly, in this wave of Apple product updates that should be dominated by the iPad series, one suddenly appeared, and Apple TV 4K (3rd generation), which previously had a long update cycle, was in the team . And the point is that this new product unexpectedly updated quickly upgraded to an A15 bionic chip on par with the iPhone 14 (or iPhone 13?), and then changed the remote control to USB- C is quiet. This point is also changed to USB-C with the iPad (10th generation), it seems that Lightning is actually going to gradually withdraw from the Apple product line?

Apple TV 4K skips the “A15” level, doubles the capacity, and also comes with HDR10 + support, but the price is cheaper!

If the iPhone 14 Plus is Apple’s handheld game console, then the Apple TV 4K, which also has the A15 bionic chip, should be considered their strongest video game console?

Breaking out of the previous update cycle, the surprise debut of Apple TV 4K (3rd generation), the official press release not only described it as “the most powerful and entertaining ever”. With the trend of increasing prices of Apple devices (it should be in response to the exchange rate), Apple actually stated “the most affordable price” in the description of this TV box.

It was discovered that the new Apple TV, which has upgraded the A15 chip and added HDR10 + display support, has actually doubled the capacity to 64GB and 128GB styles (but only 128GB has an Ethernet port and Thread technology agreement support) default All prices are down from last year’s NT$5,990 for the 32GB version. These are NT$4,490 and NT$4,990 respectively (the opening date has not been determined).

This should… select 4,990, and Wisdom Center support is relatively complete.

Although the external parts are basically the same (the low-end version lacks the Ethernet port), the Apple TV 4K has been revised in just over a year. Due to the direct upgrade from the A12 bionic chip to the A15 SoC, the CPU performance is directly improved by 50% compared to the previous generation; the GPU is a 30% improvement.

Then, due to the improved chip efficiency, Apple TV 4K no longer needs to have an internal fan, which saves 30% of power. For the first time, 100% recycled gold is used in the multilayer printed circuit board coating , which reduces the carbon footprint by 25%. . So it’s not just the fastest Apple TV yet, it might also take home the trophy for greenest Apple TV box (is there a trophy).

Speaking of environmental protection, the “USB-C” part of the European Union is one of the goals of reducing waste. It was only last year that the Apple TV 4K was remodeled to add the Siri Remote voice remote that supports the touch-to-touch trackpad specification. It was quietly remodeled from Lightning to a USB-C port – I don’t know if it means that Apple will “start” “And gradually for accessories (even the iPhone?) to become a USB-C port as the iPad series?
