The new Apple TV 4K with the A15 Bionic chip, unveiled Tuesday night, features a fanless design that makes the device over 10% thinner and weighs around 50% less than the previous generation Apple TV 4K.
Apple's specs show that the new Apple TV 4K is 1.2 inches tall, compared to 1.4 inches for the previous model. The new model weighs between 208 and 214 grams, depending on whether you buy the WiFi model or the WiFi and Ethernet model, while the previous model is significantly heavier at 425 grams.

The A15 Bionic's efficiency gains eliminate the need for an internal fan, resulting in a more compact design and contributing to a 25 percent reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the previous generation.
The second generation Apple TV 4K is equipped with a metal fan for active cooling. The new Apple TV 4K can pre-ordered and will be released on Friday, November 4th. The WiFi model with 64 GB storage capacity is priced at 169 euros, while the WiFi + Ethernet version with 128 GB costs around 189 euros. The most important new features include the A15 Bionic chip, HDR10+ support, up to 128 GB storage space and an updated Siri Remote with a USB-C port for charging. (Image: Apple)
