A new Apple TV 4K is launching soon, expected to launch at the iPhone event in just a few weeks. And an Apple code leak uncovered by MacRumors indicates a new Siri Remote is coming.
macOS code references next-generation Apple TV Remote
Yesterday Apple released a wide array of public and beta software updates. And one of them—the macOS 26.7 RC—included references to many products that haven’t yet been announced.
MacRumors discovered, for example, a video showing AirPods with cameras in action.
A new Siri Remote for Apple TV 4K makes an appearance in the list of unreleased products too. Juli Clover writes:
Mark Gurman has previously reported that the forthcoming hardware refresh would come with “possibly a tweaked Apple TV remote.”
The discovery of this next generation of Siri Remote in macOS 26.7 suggests a new remote is indeed coming this fall.
There haven’t been any rumors around specific changes to expect with the remote. However, one common feature request is the ability to find a lost remote more easily. Perhaps Apple’s second-generation Ultra Wideband chip seen in AirTag 2 could be added to the Siri Remote.
