A new report claims that Apple is working on a new Apple TV with a completely new design.
According to iDrop News:
This new box will match up with the new Siri Remote, with sharp edges like the iPhone 13, iPad Pro, and iMac. The box will feature a plexiglass top and be flatter and thinner than the current clunky box.
As noted, the report says the new Apple TV will look more like the iPhone 13, M1 iPad Pro (2021), and M1 iMac with sharper edges. It will also reportedly feature the plexiglass top rumored for the Mac mini, as previously shared by Jon Prosser.
iDrop news does not have a prior track record of leaking information from within Apple, but we have heard previous reports that Apple is working on a more powerful 'A14X-like' Apple TV. In the same report iDrop also stated that Apple is working on a hybrid handheld gaming console to rival the Nintendo Switch, from that report:
