HomePod firmware hints Apple is readying a new Apple TV with Dolby Vision/HDR10
As revealed within leaked HomePod firmware, Apple appears to be readying a new Apple TV with Dolby Vision/HDR10 which is likely to debut towards the end of the year.
Developer Guilherme Rambo has found that new references to a “4kHDR” display mode and references to display modes for “HDR10” and “Dolby.” mean Apple’s next-generation Apple TV will likely pack a powerful punch with ultra-high-definition 4K content, but also two popular HDR modes for better contrast and colours.
The discovery comes not long after customers in the United Kingdom noticed iTunes receipts started listing 4K, HDR in the under the Type column. – Back in February it was reported Apple was testing a 4K capable 5th generation Apple TV internally codenamed “J105”.
