Codes found in the leaked HomePod firmware have already “confirmed” the arrival of a future Apple TV with 4K content support and HDR mode. We have already seen that tvOS itself is already prepared to run at this higher resolution.
Earlier today, as we reported, Apple made available to developers the seventh beta versions of its operating systems including that of tvOS, clear. And behold, our reader Guilherme Rambo put his hands on it and soon discovered something new:

Yes, there are three files there in the system that reference not only the HDR mode but also the model J105 which is the internal code of Apple which identifies the new hardware of Apple TV (the current, fourth generation, J34). He was quoted in the media for the first time in a report by Bloomberg from mid-February on Apple TV.
, by the way we will have news from Apple TV also this year. 😊
