About
Apple TV 4K (4th generation) is Apple's streaming set-top box and smart home hub, announced in October 2026 and in stores from 13 November 2026. Its main addition is Siri AI, a new version of Siri built on Apple Intelligence. It also adds far-field microphones for hands-free use, faster performance, and a new Siri Remote with Find My support.
Siri AI is a beta in tvOS 27.2 and also runs on Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and later. It needs an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad belonging to the home owner. Personal context requests need a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled device. Some server-side features have daily usage limits, and Apple says expanded access will be offered for a fee in the future. At launch Siri AI is offered in English in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the UK.
The device sells for $299 in the U.S. and is pre-orderable in the U.S. and 29 other countries and regions. Apple states that Siri AI will not initially be available in the EU on iOS or iPadOS, which limits the AI features for EU users. The hardware itself is sold in other regions, but feature availability varies by region and language.
