Now that Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, Prime Video and Apple TV+ have given rise to a multi-billion-dollar video streaming industry, the time seems ripe for a new Apple TV.
The current (5th generation) Apple TV 4K box was unveiled way back in 2017, so it’s due a revamp. Sure, it’s still a great option for those who want to stream content from Apple TV+ and Netflix in 4K HDR, but it’s starting to look a little dated and is stuck with Apple’s ageing A10 processor.

The event is also expected to feature the grand unveiling of Apple’s iOS 14.5 operating system, complete with new Siri features and the option to unlock your iPhone using your Apple Watch when wearing a face mask. If that pans out as we think it will, the Apple TV could also boast new Siri functionality (more on that below).
Lastly, some tech fans have said that Apple won’t schedule the event for 23rd March because it would clash with the launch of the OnePlus 9 smartphone. Would Apple really lose sleep over the arrival of a mid-market Android…
