UMark Gurman we-Bloomberg udalule ukuthi i-Apple ihlela ukwethula i-Apple TV ka-2026, i-HomePod mini ka-2026 kanye nedivayisi eyisikhungo sasekhaya esihlakaniphile esisekela i-Siri AI emcimbini wayo wokwethula wasekwindla ka-2026.
I-Apple TV ka-2026 inekhodi yangaphakathi ethi J265, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ithuthukiselwe ku-chip ye-A17 Pro, isekele i-Apple Intelligence ne-Siri AI.
Ngokubukeka, le midiya ihlanganise imininingwane ekhona edaluliwe yaphawula ukuthi i-Apple TV 4K ka-2026 izogcina umklamo wamanje oyisikwele onamakhona ayindilinga, iqhubeke nokusebenzisa ipulasitiki emnyama, futhi ingabi nomehluko ngosayizi noma ngokubukeka.
Mayelana ne-chip, into egqame kakhulu ku-Apple TV 4K ka-2026 ukuthuthukiselwa ku-chip ye-A17 Pro. Le chip yaqala ukusetshenziswa ochungechungeni lwe-iPhone 15 Pro, futhi izoletha ukuthuthuka okubonakalayo ekusebenzeni uma iqhathaniswa ne-chip ye-A15 Bionic esetshenziswa ku-Apple TV yamanje.
I-chip ye-Apple A17 Pro yenziwa ngenqubo engu-3 nm futhi isekela ukusheshiswa kwe-hardware ekulandeleni imisebe kanye nasekuhumusheni i-AV1. Iphinde ibe yi-chip yokuqala esizukulwaneni sama-chip e-A ekhona emikhiqizweni ye-Apple ukusekela i-Apple Intelligence.
Mayelana ne-AI, i-Apple TV 4K ka-2026 izosekela i-Siri AI entsha. UGurman wake wadalula ngoMashi kulo nyaka ukuthi i-Apple TV 4K entsha yayisilungile kudala ngasohlangothini lwe-hardware, kodwa ukukhishwa kwayo kwabambezeleka kaningi ngenxa ye-Siri AI.
Ngokwamandla okuxhuma, i-Apple TV 4K entsha ingase ibe ne-chip yenethiwekhi ye-Apple N1 futhi isekele i-Wi-Fi 7, ivumele ukusetshenziswa kwebhendi engu-6GHz ehlinzekwa amarutha esizukulwane esisha. Kungenzeka futhi isekele i-Bluetooth 6.0 kanye nephrothokholi yasekhaya ehlakaniphile i-Thread.
I-Apple kulindeleke ukuthi yethule noma nini i-HomePod mini 2 yesizukulwane esisha, enekhodi yangaphakathi ethi B525. Umklamo wangaphandle womkhiqizo omusha ngeke ushintshe kakhulu, kodwa ungase utholakale ngemibala emisha.
Ngokwezincazelo, i-HomePod mini 2 kulindeleke ukuthi isebenzise i-chip ye-S10 SiP efanayo naleyo eku-Apple Watch Series 10, okungase ilethe ikhwalithi yomsindo engcono nomsindo obalwa ngesikhathi sangempela osezingeni eliphezulu. Kulindeleke ukuthi ithuthukiselwe ku-Bluetooth 5.3 futhi ifakwe i-chip yesizukulwane sesibili ye-ultra-wideband (UWB). Intengo izohlala ifana neyesizukulwane sokuqala, ingu-99 USD (qaphela: cishe u-684.6 yuan wase-China ngokwesilinganiso samanje sokushintshisana).
Isikhungo esihlakaniphile sinezinguqulo ezi-2, ezinamakhodi angaphakathi athi J490 no-J491. I-J490 ifakwe isisekelo esimise okwengxenye yedome, esichazwe njengengxenye ye-HomePod mini; i-J491 isekela ukufakwa odongeni.
Lo mkhiqizo uklanyelwe ukuba yisikhungo sasekhaya esihlakaniphile, usekele izingcingo, ukudlala umculo, ukuhlola isimo sezulu, i-Siri, ukubuka izithombe nekhalenda lomndeni, phakathi kweminye imisebenzi. Umgomo wawo uwukuba “umongo wecebo lenkampani lokuvuselela isu layo lasekhaya elihlakaniphile”.
Ngokwezici zobuchwepheshe, lo mkhiqizo kulindeleke ukuthi usebenzise i-chip ye-A18 futhi usekele i-Apple Intelligence. Ungasebenzisa isiphequluli se-Safari, i-Apple Music, Amanothi, Ikhalenda, Izithombe ne-Apple News kanye nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-Apple, kodwa ngeke ube nesitolo sezinhlelo zokusebenza esizimele se-App Store.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lo mkhiqizo uzofakwa nenzwa yokubona ukuthi kukhona yini umuntu ekamelweni. I-Face ID eyakhelwe ngaphakathi izokwazi ukubona ukuthi ubani okhulumayo, bese yethula izinhlelo zokusebenza, imisebenzi nezindawo zokusebenzela ezenzelwe umsebenzisi ngamunye.
Mayelana nosuku lokukhishwa, uGurman uveze ukuthi i-Apple ingase yethule le divayisi eyisikhungo esihlakaniphile ngo-Okthoba 2026 noma ekuqaleni kuka-2027.
