There’s a new feature that allows the Apple TV 4K to work with iPhone to improve your television’s picture quality. The Apple TV 4K uses the light sensor in iPhone to compare the color balance to industry-standard specifications.
One of the biggest additions to this new generation of Apple TV 4K is a newly redesigned Siri Remote. This device features a new clickpad control with five-way navigation, which Apple says provides better accuracy when browsing content on tvOS.
The new Apple TV 4K will be available at $179 for 32GB and $199 for 64GB. Pre-orders open up on April 30.
Apple is also planning to sell the Apple TV HD with the new Siri Remote for $149, and the new Siri Remote will be available separately for $59. It’s compatible with the previous generation of Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.
