It has been rumored that a new Apple TV will launch later this year, and it might support the faster Wi-Fi 7 standard.
All four iPhone 17 models coming later this year will be equipped with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, according to Apple supply chain analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu. A new Apple TV is also expected to be released this year, and it will also have an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman.
This means the next Apple TV should support Wi-Fi 7, unless Apple chooses to artificially limit the device’s specifications.
The current Apple TV 4K model from 2022 supports Wi-Fi 6.
Wi-Fi 7 allows for data transmission over the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands simultaneously, with a compatible router, resulting in faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 can provide peak speeds of over 40 Gbps, a 4× increase over Wi-Fi 6E, provided a device supports the maximum specifications.
The new Apple TV is expected to launch towards the end of the year.
