Apple debuted its[latest Apple TV 4K](https://www.theverge.com/tech/1009663/apple-tv-4k-siri-ai-microphones-4th-gen-announced)— its first in four years — and it’ll be available starting Friday, November 13th\. It’s powerful, with the A19 chip \(the now\-discontinued 2022 model has the A15 Bionic\), and it features better wireless connectivity than its predecessor, too\. Siri AI is a big part of this rollout, though it’ll work in beta on the second\-gen Apple TV 4K models and newer\. The new Find My tracking feature works with the second\-gen Siri remote and newer\. It’s not cheap, costing $299 \(twice the original cost of the 2022 Apple TV 4K, until it rose to $249 a few months ago\), but those who’ve been waiting a while for a new version to launch can place a preorder now\.

It’s not a bad value, as it has many similar features \(Thread connectivity, ethernet, 128GB storage, HDMI 2\.1, and more\), though the A19 in the new model will ensure that it feels snappy for longer than the 2022 model\. That said, I recently purchased the 2022 Apple TV 4K, and it’s surprisingly speedy\. ## Verge Shopping Sign up to get the best deals on products we’ve found and tested sent to your inbox\. **Follow topics and authors**from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates\. - Cameron Faulkner
