The new Apple TV 4K has built-in microphones so you can talk to Siri AI
Apple has unveiled a new Apple TV 4K featuring built-in far-field microphones for hands-free Siri AI interaction and Find My remote integration. The device is part of a broader smart home expansion that includes new HomePod models and collaborative smart home hardware.
Why it matters
Apple's integration of advanced AI into home entertainment hardware signals a strategic push to dominate the smart home ecosystem.
Apple is introducing a refreshed Apple TV 4K today with a pair of interesting new hardware features: far-field microphones to talk to Siri hands-free and Find My built into the remote. The fourth-gen Apple TV 4K, announced at Apple’s Welcome Home event in New York City, is the first model to support the Siri AI voice assistant and has a new home theatre feature that lets you pair up to four second-gen HomePods or HomePod Mini 2s for surround sound.
