According to the latest report, Apple is working on a refreshed Apple TV as the information is shared by a leaker who’s twitter account id is @choco_bit. In a tweet, Fudge claims that Apple is preparing multiple new Apple TV set-top boxes, with a model featuring a variant of the A12 chip and one with an “A14X-like” chip.
The leaker also stated that a new controller is in the works, but it is unclear if the tweet is referencing an updated Siri Remote or a new, Apple-designed game controller.
Also, the Twitter tipster Fudge said that the iPhone maker Apple is on work with core developers to bring console-level games to Apple Arcade as means of bolstering the gaming service. But the notable thing is some games would only be able to be run on the A13 Bionic chip or later.
In February this year, during the iOS 13.4 there was a hint about a new Apple TV with an A12 bionic. In addition to an updated processor and a “T1125” codename, previous rumors have indicated that the refreshed Apple TV may feature higher capacity 64 and 128GB storage options.
Apple Arcade is getting BIG money poured into it. There are currently titles in the works that are aiming to rival the likes of Breath of the Wild, which is why new A12X/Z AppleTV, “A14X-like” AppleTV, and Controller are in the works.
Some games will require A13 and up to run 💁🏼♀️
