Apple may be readying a new version of its streaming box with more power – but is that what we need?

Having only just released a new version of its Apple TV streaming box late last year, it looks like Apple is already laying out plans for a quick-fire successor to the best streaming device around.
With a new, more powerful Apple TV having just landed before Christmas, Apple’s reported plan of following up with a fresh model early next year – all without a killer new feature, at least according to Gurman – seems somewhat unnecessary.
The extra processing power of a new CPU may give games a minor boost, but in terms of its core use, we’re unlikely to see any improvement on the existing model, which already provides the slickest performance and best image quality of any of the current streaming boxes out there.
We’d like to see a full HDMI 2.1 port added, or a UWB chip in the Siri remote to end those frustrating hunt-down-the-side-of-the-sofa-for-the-thing moments. But even with those sensible additions, it doesn’t add up to a compelling reason for an upgrade, especially if you can buy the remote separately (as we hope you would be able to).
While the move to release a blink-and-you’ll-miss-the-updates new model appears questionable, in many ways it presents good news for existing Apple TV owners. The decision confirms Apple’s support for the platform (not something that’s always felt apparent thanks to the recent lack of significant updates to tvOS), while it also means older Apple TV models won’t appear outdated in comparison.
