Apple TV 4K: New Siri Remote with USB-C Now Available—But HDMI, Charging Cable Sold Separately

Apple unveiled its latest Apple TV 4K over an online announcement and did not hold any October event for its multiple releases which also included the new iPad variants available to the public. The new Apple TV 4K brings a surprise for all, particularly with the Siri Remote that now features a USB-C port to charge the device instead of the Lightning port.

However, there is bad news about this release, particularly with the box's content which does not have the cables that usually come with it like the HDMI for the device and USB-C charging cable for the remote.

Apple TV 4K 2022 is Here with the USB-C Siri Remote

Apple dropped massive dimes to the public earlier, and it is with its release of the Apple TV 4K 2022 and iPads without any events, as previously predicted by leakers. The next-generation Apple TV 4K delivers new features and performance for all, with Apple claiming that it is more powerful than its predecessor and aims to deliver a novel experience.

The Cupertino company said that it is more fluid and powerful than its previous offers, centering on its output for its streaming and gaming features.

The device debuts with an A15 Bionic chip that delivers on its latest features to handle hours of streaming and gaming with Apple Arcade. Additionally, it debuts HDR10+ support and Dolby Vision for the new Apple TV 4K.

Customers Need to Buy the Apple TV 4K Accessories

Apple offers the device for $129 for its WiFi-only variant and $149 for its WiFi and Ethernet version. However, there is a catch for all interested buyers as both prices will have the same package from Apple which lacks the HDMI and USB-C cables necessary for the device to function.

The HDMI for the device which is previously available with the package is now non-existent and users need to purchase it separately.

On the other hand, since the Siri Remote already features a USB-C port for its charging, users may use their available Type-C cables for their needs.

Apple TV 4K and its Siri Remote

The Cupertino giant is delivering a new device for one's television, and it is with the latest version of the Apple TV 4K that came unexpectedly from the company. It will see an upgrade for its offers from the previous black box which was released in 2021, debuting the sixth generation of the device for all, delivering on entertainment needs for larger screens.

It picks up from last year's tvOS 15 which debuted the present features available on the device for people's streaming needs.

The device aims to better its output and display for users to start with, as well as software improvements that will help its UI and overall experience better, centering on Apple's ecosystem.

The latest Apple TV 4K moves from its previous package by providing the device and remote only, something similar to the iPhone's box inclusions that deliver the device and data cable.

It may be a hassle to buy accessories like the HDMI and USB-C cable, especially if it is already out of the budget, instead of the previous complete device and cable.
