Leaked code suggests new Apple TV 4K will include an upgraded Siri Remote

Apple TV 4K may be getting a new Siri Remote, according to leaked Apple code reviewed by outlets including 9to5Mac and MacRumors. The reports say the code points to an updated remote coming with a next-generation Apple TV 4K that is expected to launch soon.

Both sources link the development to ongoing timing speculation around Apple’s upcoming product announcements, with 9to5Mac suggesting a launch could coincide with an iPhone event in the coming weeks. MacRumors adds that the findings come from macOS 26.7 code and does not specify what changes the remote will include, only that a new model is expected. MacRumors also says the new Apple TV 4K could use an A17 Pro chip or newer and that it may be unveiled in September or October, reflecting how rumors about a replacement have circulated for years.

While the outlets agree on the broad direction—an updated Siri Remote tied to a forthcoming Apple TV 4K—they differ in emphasis, with 9to5Mac focusing on near-term event timing and MacRumors focusing on the technical basis of the code leak and likely hardware generation.
