Apple launched the new Apple TV 4K featuring the A19 chip, priced at 7,990 CZK with 128GB of storage, as reported by Novinky.
The updated streaming device arrives alongside the HomeView smart display to conclude Apple’s hardware releases for 2026, according to Letem světem Applem. Novinky reported that the redesigned Apple TV Remote can now be located using the Find My app, featuring precise tracking with a compatible iPhone to help users find the controller when it slips between sofa cushions.
Inside the chassis, the A19 processor delivers up to 50 percent faster CPU performance and double the graphics capability of the previous generation, Novinky noted. The device includes a dedicated AV1 format decoder for streaming higher-quality video with lower data consumption. For audio and visual standards, the media player supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and connectivity through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, as detailed by Novinky.
Letem světem Applem said that the hardware features Matter and Thread smart home standards support. Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of worldwide product marketing, discussed the device’s home theater capabilities during its launch, stating, “The new Apple TV 4K is the most impressive home theater we’ve ever created,” as quoted by Novinky.
Home Cinema Sound and Regional Limitations
Users can pair the streaming box with up to four compatible smart speakers—combining HomePod mini 2 units and second-generation HomePods—to configure a surround sound system where the devices automatically detect their physical placement in the room, according to Novinky. However, Novinky pointed out that because Apple does not officially sell HomePod speakers in the Czech Republic, local buyers must arrange imports independently.
Letem světem Applem reported that the HomeView smart display will not launch officially in the European Union due to regional Siri AI restrictions, although Czech retailer Alza has listed the device for future availability. Novinky said that Apple released system update version 27.2 for the HomeView display, packing 40 default square wallpapers that users can extract and install on Android devices such as the Galaxy S24 FE.
Beyond media streaming, the Apple TV 4K operates as a smart home hub, displaying video doorbell notifications on the television screen so users can converse with visitors and unlock compatible doors directly from their couch, Novinky reported.
Pricing and Missing Cables
The 128GB model retails for 7,990 CZK on Apple’s Czech online store, according to Novinky. Buyers receive the media player, remote, and power cable in the box, while HDMI cables for television connection and USB-C cables for charging the remote are sold separately, Novinky noted.
