The super-fast Apple TV 4K with A12X Bionic chip is "ready to ship" and coming soon
The rumor comes from tech YouTuber Jon Prosser, who has been leaking some really juicy Apple information for the past few weeks Today (May 7) Prosser tweeted that Cupertino's latest streaming device, codenamed Neptune T1125, "could drop any day"
Yesterday Prosser said the same thing about the AirPods 3 and iMac 2020, bringing the total number of devices "ready to ship" to three The YouTuber is currently one of the most reliable Apple informants, and given previous leaks about the new Apple TV 4K, Prosser's information seems to be consistent
9to5Mac spotted plans for the next-generation Apple TV 4K in the beta code of tvOS 134 released in February The biggest perk of the new device appeared to be increased speed, as the code suggested that his device uses the same chip architecture found in Apple's A12 and A13 Bionic chips
According to Prosser, the streaming box will be powered by the A12X Bionic, making it the fastest Apple TV to date It will reportedly be offered in 64GB or 128GB configurations, whereas the current Apple TV 4K has only 32GB or 64GB This increase in memory could also result in a jump in price
If Prosser's sources share accurate information, more details on pricing and availability will be available soon It is possible that Apple has chosen WWDC 2020 on June 22 as the release date for the new streaming box Also, details about the tvOS 14 update will be revealed at a major developer conference next month
