A new Apple TV model with 120Hz support might be in the making, suggests new tvOS 14.5 beta code

Apple has since long been speculated to bring an upgraded model of Apple TV. A recent tvOS release by the company seems to be the clue for an imminent launch of the same.

Several speculations online have hinted at a new-generation Apple TV in the making. One such added to the list most recently borrows its existence from the new tvOS 14.5 beta code. An inclusion on the beta update points at a new device in the making, as it is not supported by the current variants of Apple TV. As reported by 9to5Mac, the newly released tvOS 14.5 beta code contains references to 120Hz support on the connected device. The report highlights that the feature will not work on the current-generation Apple TV due to hardware limitations. PineBoard, the system that controls the Apple TV interface, contains these references in the latest tvOS’ beta release. These include terms like “120Hz” and “supports 120Hz” multiple times throughout the beta release.
