Apple tipped to launch gaming-focused Apple TV next year

Apple TV is long overdue a refresh, and rumours suggest it might finally get one in 2021. And this new iteration will focus on gaming with a storage upgrade of up to 128GB. Bloomberg's latest report suggests it will come with an updated remote and new processor and have a "stronger gaming focus."

Some of the other rumours claim the new remote will have a Find My application support, making it easier for you to locate missing Apple TV remotes. The new A14 processor might power the Apple TV. This streaming box might also get Apple Arcade-exclusive games not available on existing models. We can't say, though, when it might come out. But hopefully sooner rather than later.
