New Apple TV 4K With A19 and Siri AI Now Available for $299

The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is available starting today, November 13, for $299 in the U.S. The streaming box adds an A19 chip, built-in microphones for hands-free Siri, and support for four-speaker HomePod surround sound.

The launch covers the U.S. and 29 other countries and regions. Customers can order through Apple or Amazon, and compare current retailer pricing and price history in the iClarified Apple TV Price Tracker.

Apple claims up to 50 percent faster CPU performance and up to twice the GPU performance compared with the 2022 Apple TV 4K. The new chip also has a dedicated AV1 decoder, alongside support for 4K Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos.

Three far-field microphones let users start playback, search for shows, and control smart home accessories without reaching for the remote. Siri AI adds conversational searches and follow-up questions about what is playing, with answers appearing over the video rather than requiring viewers to leave it.

Siri AI is in beta in tvOS 27.2 and is also available on Apple TV 4K models from the second generation onward. Setup requires the owner of the home in the Home app to have an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad with the latest software, Siri AI enabled, and a supported language selected. Requests that use personal context also require a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled device.

At launch, Siri AI supports English in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the UK. Some server-based Apple Intelligence features have daily usage limits, with expanded access to be offered for a fee in the future. Hands-free Siri support varies by region and language.

For home theater setups, the new box can pair with four HomePod mini 2 or HomePod (2nd generation) speakers, with matching front and rear pairs. The system automatically calibrates audio timing and levels to the room. Four-speaker surround requires the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K and the latest software; it is not supported on older streaming boxes.

The included fourth-generation Siri Remote adds the ability to play a sound when lost and supports Precision Finding with compatible iPhones. That feature requires iPhone Duo, iPhone Air, or iPhone 17 or later, excluding iPhone 17e, running the latest iOS software, and availability varies by region. The remote is also sold separately and works with Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K.

As a home hub, Apple TV 4K supports Thread accessories, automations, guest access, and HomeKit Secure Video. New AI-generated camera activity descriptions require setup with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad and an eligible iCloud+ subscription, with supported camera counts depending on the plan.

The box includes the Siri Remote and a power cord. HDMI and USB-C cables are sold separately.
