Apple's next TV box adds hands-free Siri and a remote you can locate

The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is scheduled for November 13. Apple says it includes far-field microphones for hands-free Siri, an A19 processor, an AV1 decoder and Find My Precision Finding for the Siri Remote.

A lost remote and voice search are everyday annoyances. More important, the device is also a smart-home hub—but it does not automatically solve your Sonos audio routing or TV remote integration.

What to do: Compare its actual inputs, surround-sound options and smart-home integrations against your existing Apple TV and Sony/Sonos setup before ordering.
