A new Apple TV 4K is expected to launch this fall with the significant upgrade of the A17 Pro chip, which will enable advanced AI features for Siri, such as actor identification and personalized recommendations, making it a compelling upgrade despite the device's historically modest hardware needs.
A new leak suggests the upcoming Apple TV 4K will feature the A17 Pro chip for significant performance boosts, support for advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth standards, and potentially incorporate Apple Intelligence, although its specific use remains unclear. The refresh, expected in early September, aims to modernize the device after nearly three years without an update.
A new Apple TV 4K with an A17 Pro chip is expected soon, offering improved performance and potential support for Apple Intelligence features, though these may not be emphasized in the upcoming marketing. The upgrade will mainly enhance gaming and future Siri capabilities, with a possible low-key release in 2025.
Apple is set to release a new Apple TV later this year featuring the powerful A17 Pro chip, enhancing its streaming capabilities.
Apple released a new ad highlighting the gaming capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, focusing on the A17 Pro chip's hardware-based ray tracing and faster CPU and Neural Engine. The ad showcases a gamer breaking through his apartment ceiling while playing a game on his iPhone. The new iPhone models can play console-quality games, with titles like Resident Evil 4 and Death Stranding coming to iOS.
The iPhone 15 Pro is experiencing thermal throttling issues due to Apple's lower standards for the A17 Pro chip, which was manufactured using the 3nm process. TSMC's struggles with the process led to a low yield, prompting Apple to accept chips that would have otherwise been rejected. The increased power consumption to achieve benchmark results may result in lower battery life, and the phone's lack of a cooling solution exacerbates the heating issue. Thermal throttling kicks in earlier, causing performance drops, but the GPU upgrades make it a promising gaming phone.
Apple executives discuss their plans to make the iPhone 15 Pro the "best game console" with the new A17 Pro chip, which offers significant GPU upgrades including improved performance and energy efficiency. The focus is on appealing to game developers rather than directly competing with consoles like PlayStation or Xbox. Apple emphasizes the importance of sustaining performance and addressing overheating concerns, with a specific design for the iPhone model. The company believes the iPhone will be the best game console, and the decision to give an interview to IGN shows Apple's ambition to reach a new gaming audience.
The battery capacities for all four models of the iPhone 15 series have been revealed in a Chinese regulatory database. The sizes range from 3,349mAh to 4,422mAh, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max having the largest battery. Apple claims that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus can run video for 20 and 25 hours, respectively, while the Pro models can play videos for 23 and 29 hours. The new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are expected to have improved battery life due to the 3nm A17 Pro chip. Pre-orders for the iPhone 15 series have started, with official release scheduled for September 22nd.
Geekbench scores for the iPhone 15 Pro confirm Apple's claims of improved performance with its new A17 Pro chip compared to last year's A16 Bionic chipset. The device scored higher in both single-core and multi-core tests, and it also features 8GB of RAM, an upgrade from last year's models. The A17 Pro chip boasts a 10% faster CPU performance, 20% faster GPU performance, and a two-times faster neural engine for machine learning tasks. The iPhone 15 Pro starts at $999 and is available for pre-order.
