But even if it were, Zwift doesn’t natively support that processor series yet anyway (still). This is not unfortunately one of the newer M1 series processors found in many of their newer product launches over the past 6-8 months. Yes, for real, it’s the iPad and iPhone processor from 2018. However, this ‘newer’ processor is still…three years old. On paper the new Apple TV 4K 2021 edition (as opposed to the previous Apple TV 4K (from 2017) has a faster processor, using the newer A12 Bionic processor as opposed to the older A10X processor. But there’s a super important detail here. Internally, it’s different – the new Apple TV 4K 2021 edition has a new processor in it, one that Apple boasts is far more powerful. As you can see, the box itself doesn’t look much different than the old one.
The Hardware:įirst up we’ve got the new hardware. So, after my newer unit that I bought arrived today, I gave things a quirk whirl to see how they handled. Beyond that, there are a bunch of other ancillary things that don’t tend to impact Zwift too much, like newer HDMI & WiFi specs (HDMI 2.1 & WiFi 6), as well as higher HDR frame rates such as 60FPS.īut the question is, for Zwift users, is it worth the upgrade? Instead, two key things did change: A new remote that theoretically doesn’t suck, and a new processor. The name didn’t change, it was called Apple TV 4K before. It’s easy to use, and in my experience generally far more stable than Zwift’s PC or Mac versions.īack a few weeks ago Apple announced the new Apple TV 4K 2021 edition. I have multiple units at both the DCR Cave and at home, for both Zwift cycling and Zwift running.
For the most part, unless I’m actively testing something that requires a PC or Mac specifically, I’m using Apple TV as my Zwift machine. Many regular readers know that I’m a big user of Apple TV for Zwift.
