The HomePod’s software code, which Apple released late last month, keeps on giving: developers are continuing to find strings that allude to unannounced features in future devices, and the latest discovery confirms that a 4K AppleTV is not only on the way, but that it’ll support both Dolby Vision and HDR10. Another find is that the iPhone 8’s facial recognition will work even when the phone is laying flat on its back.
We’ve long expected/hoped for/wondered where the 4K TV was, and we first heard signs that Apple was actually working on such a monster back in February via Bloomberg. That report said the new 4K AppleTV would have more vivid colors and arrive later this year. Meanwhile, Google’s ChromeCast, Android TV and just about every other streaming platform have had 4K options for years. Apple’s Macs have been able to drive 4K displays at 60Hz for quite some time. The HomePod software also leaked that the iPhone 8 would support 4K on both front and rear cameras so you’ll be able to put those 4K selfies right onto your TV.
