9to5Mac, who is not his first attempt when it comes to discovering this kind of clue, has identified various mentions of the 120 Hz frequency in the source code oftvOS 14.5 beta. As a reminder, this software is the operating system that runs Apple TVs.It is available for download for the most curious, before its final version is deployed.
More concretely, it is within a score of the PineBoard that the term “supports120Hz” quite equivocal, which leaves little doubt as to Apple's ambitions. Indeed, PineBoard is the internal name of the program where the Apple TV interface is developed. We can therefore deduce that the apple brand is testing, at least on its premises and in secret (or almost), ahigher refresh ratefor the case.
For a new model
What is certain, however, is that if such an improvement does indeed arrive on Apple TV, it will not be compatible with those currently on sale. And for good reason, to do this it is necessary to rely on aport HDMI 2.1, which is not their case. Logically, everything suggests that Cupertino is preparing a change of sockets at the back of its set-top box.
It is no longer a secret that such a product is indeed in the pipeline. Indeed, several analysts or leaks have already mentioned it, whilea remote control with a revisited design is also currently being designed. The iPhone 12, on the other hand, is not entitled to 120 Hz, although many rumors announced it before their release... Too bad for thegamers.
A real advantage?
Currently, the Apple TV 4K - which is the newest and most expensive of all models - is limited to 60 Hz. Which is actually sufficient for the majority of viewers, because the difference with 120 Hz is not In factnot perceptible to the naked eye.
Nevertheless, this technical characteristic remains an argumentmarketingmajor for several smartphone sellers, who then target the video games segment. Their devices would thus offer a smoother experience, ideal for TPS like Fortnite for example.
