References to a new Siri Remote have been discovered in the latest iOS 16 beta, adding to speculation that a new Apple TV model could be coming this year. Found within the code of iOS 16 was a device dubbed ‘Siri Remote 4’, with the previous generations of Apple TV Siri Remotes being accounted for under ‘Siri Remote’, ‘Siri Remote 2’ and ‘Siri Remote 3’.
Apple introduced a much needed redesign of the Siri Remote in 2021 alongside the Apple TV 4K Gen 2. Rumours of a new 2022 Apple TV have been circulating for a while now, with predictions varying greatly. Some rumours suggest that a cheaper, more accessible Apple TV will be launching this year, while a report from Bloomberg suggests that Apple could be combining the HomePod and Apple TV into one device, creating a smart home entertainment hub.
