The Apple TV stays probably the greatest and strongest streaming units accessible, however it’s undeniably dear, beginning at $229 for the 32GB 4K version.
Nonetheless, that would quickly change. In response to a current tweet from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the tech large might have plans to launch a model of the Apple TV “that improves price construction” later in 2022. It is a good transfer on Apple’s half given the cheaper and slightly outdated Apple TV HD costs $199.
Apple will launch a brand new model of Apple TV that improves price construction in 2H22. I feel that Apple’s aggressive technique of integrating {hardware}, content material, and repair amid the recession will assist shut the hole with its opponents.

Although the Nvidia Defend rivals the Apple TV 4K by way of residence theatre requirements and format assist, in Canada specifically, most streaming platforms sometimes replace the tvOS model of their app first, giving Apple’s streaming field a big benefit within the area.
It’s unclear if this cheaper Apple TV could be HD, 4K and even HDR-capable and what worth level it should hit. It’s seemingly that Apple will substitute its entry-level Apple TV HD with a much less highly effective, probably smaller model of the Apple TV 4K. For instance, whereas the 2nd-gen Apple TV 4K options Apple’s A12 chip, the first-gen model affords an A10X Fusion chip.
Apple might refresh this older model of the Apple TV 4K with an A11 chip and a sleeker design. It’s unclear if Kuo’s report is tied to the rumours surrounding an Apple TV with an integrated HomePod speaker and a built-in digital camera for FaceTime that appeared just a few months in the past.
