Vratislav Holub Alongside the iPad Pro and the redesigned iPad, we saw the introduction of the brand new Apple TV 4K. Apple introduced this trio of new products in the second half of October via press releases. It was Apple TV that got quite a lot of attention, boasting a number of quite interesting changes and novelties. Apple specifically deployed the Apple A15 chipset and thus came up with the most powerful multimedia center in its history. At the same time, the new chip is much more economical, which made it possible to remove the fan.

Adam Kos In terms of performance, Apple TV has moved to a whole new level. However, this opens up a rather interesting discussion among apple growers. Why did Apple suddenly decide to take this step? At first glance, it may seem that such a device, on the contrary, does not need a lot of power and can easily get by with a complete base. After all, it is primarily used for playing multimedia, YouTube and streaming platforms. However, in reality it is the opposite. A decent performance in case of Apple TV is more than desirable and unlocks a lot of new possibilities.
Apple TV 4K needs high performance
As we mentioned above, at first glance it may seem that the Apple TV can do without the best performance in a way. In fact, it can be said that this is indeed the case. If the new generation had an even older chipset, it probably wouldn't be such a big problem. But if we look into the future and think about the possibilities that Apple could theoretically come up with, then the performance is quite desirable. With the arrival of the Apple A15 chip, the Cupertino giant is indirectly showing us one thing - the Apple TV needs, or at least will need, higher performance for some reason.
Apple TV 4K (2022)
This naturally opened a rather interesting discussion among apple fans. The Apple TV 4K (2022) shares the same chipset as the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, which is not quite common. First of all, we must not forget to mention the absolute foundation. The higher performance has a positive effect on the speed and agility of the entire system, thereby ensuring that it will function flawlessly even after several years, for example. This is an absolute foundation that we should not forget. However, a number of different theories continue to be offered. The first of them is that Apple is going to step into the field of gaming and turn its multimedia center into a lightweight offshoot of the game console. He has the means to do so.
Apple has its own Apple Arcade platform, which offers its subscribers more than a hundred exclusive game titles of various genres. The biggest benefit of the service is its connection with the apple ecosystem. For example, you can play on an iPhone on the train for a while, then switch to an iPad and then play on Apple TV. All player progress is, of course, saved on iCloud. It is theoretically possible that the apple giant is going to get even more bogged down in this segment.
But there is also one fundamental problem. In a way, the main obstacle is the games themselves available within Apple Arcade. Not all Apple users are satisfied with them and, for example, gaming fans completely ignore them. However, this does not mean that the platform does not have its uses. These are mostly indie titles that are far from AAA games. Nevertheless, this is a perfect opportunity, for example, for parents with children or undemanding players who would just like to play an interesting game from time to time.

Is Apple planning changes?
With the arrival of the more powerful Apple TV 4K, its fans were divided into two camps. While some expect the arrival of major changes, for example progress in gaming in general, others no longer share such an optimistic view. According to them, Apple is not planning any changes and deployed the newer chipset for a relatively simple reason – to ensure long-term flawless functionality of the new Apple TV 4K, without having to introduce a successor in the following years. Which version do you prefer?
