Apple announced the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K on October 13, 2026, featuring Siri AI, an entirely new version of its assistant powered by the next generation of Apple Intelligence, along with an A19 chip and built-in far-field microphones. The streaming box is priced at $299 (U.S.), with pre-orders opening the same day and availability in stores beginning November 13, 2026.
Siri AI on Apple TV 4K
Siri AI arrives on the television as a full-screen conversational experience. Apple describes the assistant as significantly more capable and conversational, with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, and the ability to take more actions across apps. In examples Apple presented, a viewer can ask which Apple TV shows won at the Emmy Awards this year and receive poster art pulled directly from the Apple TV app, followed by suggestions such as more award-winning comedies to keep exploring. While a show is playing, follow-up questions โ where the series Pluribus was filmed, or whether what is on screen suits a 15-year-old โ are answered in a compact overlay that leaves the video in view. Paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone, Siri AI can also tap personal context to handle requests such as playing a show a specific contact recommended.
Siri AI is available as a beta in tvOS 27.2 on Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later), launching in English in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the UK. It requires the owner of the home in the Home app to have an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad running the latest software, with Siri AI turned on and set to a supported language, and it will not be initially available in the EU in iOS or iPadOS. Apple notes that certain Apple Intelligence features relying on server-side models carry daily usage limits, and that expanded access to those features will be available for a fee in the future.
