The current line-upwards of Apple TV devices are hampered by the hardware, with Apple Tv set 4K capped at 60Hz. But 9to5Mac spotted references in the tvOS14.5 beta code that mention 120Hz support, bolstering the case for a new Apple tree TV this year.

We already know that Apple is shoring upward the Apple Arcade game library, adding NBA 2K21, Fantasian, and a slew of classic iOS games to the service just terminal week.

The new Apple Goggle box will need to send with an HDMI 2.1 port to support 120Hz at 4K. 9to5Mac reported that such a device was in the works back in 2019, but we've yet to run across it. But Cupertino is never ane to rush things to market to play take hold of-up with competitors either, so it could be testing this internally and waiting for the opportune moment to launch a new gaming-focussed Apple tree TV.

Merely look at Apple'southward iPhones; the iPhone 12 series comes with a 60Hz refresh rate, while Android devices boast 90Hz to 120Hz — even upkeep handsets like the OnePlus Nord. And while Apple is rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone, it doesn't seem to be in any rush to release information technology.

But from what we've heard most the Apple TV 2021 refresh, the set up-top box should exist perfectly poised to win gamers over. Behave in mind, y'all'll need a TV that supports 120Hz, so head over to Tom'south Guide's pick of best gaming TVs.
