It makes sense that Apple TV 4K customers are vocal about the lack of new hardware. The current set-top box, introduced in 2022, runs the risk of breaking a record no one wants to see happen.
A new Apple TV 4K is expected in 2026
The good news is that Apple reportedly has a new Apple TV 4K ready to go.
The bad news? Apple might be waiting for an AI-related software update before releasing it. That might mean tvOS 27 in the fall.
If that happens, the current Apple TV 4K hardware will set a new record for the longest-selling version of the product between updates.
