The rumors are getting more strengthened that Apple is planning to release an Apple TV with 4K and HDR support to be an updated version of Apple’s set-top streaming box.
MacRumors reported that iTunes is beginning to list movies as supporting 4K and HDR in users’ purchase histories, implying that Apple’s digital storefront — and likely, its devices — could be supporting higher-quality videos soon.
Presently, there’s no way to actually download movies in 4K or HDR through iTunes at this time; it just simply shows up in purchased history for now. But it’s hard to imagine that Apple would even unintentionally have added the tags if it wasn’t working to offer 4K and HDR videos sometime in the future.
MacRumors reported that the tags are showing up on films such as Passengers and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which would imply that, if the rumor is true, both Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros. Studios are on board to offer the higher-resolution movies in some way.
Since Apple usually announces a slate of new hardware in the fall for the upcoming holiday season, it’s likely that, if there is a new Apple TV on the horizon, we’ll be hearing about it sooner rather than later.

A new Apple TV to supporting 4K and HDR in users? Apple and their surprises. Apple product is always expensive but if high quality.

I know Apple ? products are quite good. But, personally, I’m not always moved by their techs. Not that they aren’t good enough, but the price tag is always on a very high side. That does not mean I’m not anticipating the new Apple TV.
