New Apple TV Rumored to Feature Built-In Camera and Gesture Controls

The upcoming model aims to enhance video calling and navigation, potentially launching in the first half of 2024.

Apple is rumored to be working on a new Apple TV model featuring a built-in camera for FaceTime and gesture-based controls.
The built-in camera aims to streamline the user experience by allowing direct video calls from the device, eliminating the need for an iPhone or iPad as a webcam.
Gesture-based controls on the new Apple TV could offer a more intuitive way to navigate and interact with the device, enhancing its smart home capabilities.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg speculates that the new Apple TV could launch in the first half of 2024, although it's still uncertain whether Apple will proceed with these plans.
Apple's exploration of gesture controls extends beyond the Apple TV, as evidenced by patents and the gesture-based interactions on the Vision Pro headset.
