One of the most popular musical films of all time is going through the upgrade process.

 

THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) has an audio upgrade to Dolby Atmos. Other countries are also reporting Dolby Vision upgrades as well, so hopefully we will get the "full treatment" soon.

New 2025 Apple TV 4K latest rumours.

 

The current Apple TV 4K has the same A15 Bionic chip that was in the iPhone 13 line-up. Expect a new A-series chip for the 2025 Apple TV. Apple doesn't design chips exclusively for the Apple TV, so it will use a previously released iPhone chip.

 

Apple might use the A17 Pro chip which first debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro models, as that would give the Apple TV the capability to play console-quality games. The A17 Pro was Apple's first 3-nanometer chip, and it includes a 6-core GPU that's able to support hardware accelerated ray-tracing for the first time, enabling games with more realistic graphics. Apple could even opt for the A18 chips that are in the iPhone 16 models, or the A19 chip that will be used in the upcoming iPhone 17 models. Whichever chip Apple finally use, will be a huge upgrade from the present A15 chip.

 

Apple is expected to use a custom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip that it designed for the Apple TV 4K. The chip features support for Wi-Fi 6E, which will allow the Apple TV to connect to 6GHz networks when available. Wi-Fi 7 is also a possibility, but either way, the chip is expected to support the 6GHz band available with Wi-Fi 6E and later routers.

 

I don't admit to understanding all of the above jargon, but one thing for certain, is that we are going to get a massively updated Apple TV 4K at a possible slightly cheaper price.

 

Apple have their iPhone 17 event on September 10th, so hopefully we will learn more then.

I believe the $4.99 price is for the Theatrical Cut which hasn’t been upgraded.

 

The Director’s Cut is the edition I was posting about.

 

its quite hard to find in the NZ Apple Store. I finally found it through iTunes on my PC.

I definitely got the directors cut version for $4.99. Purchased in the TV app on my iPhone. I was presented with 3 options - theatrical, directors, and directors Roadshow edition. All listed at NZ$4.99.

 

As you said previously, it was definitely $7.99 earlier today, but they subsequently updated the prices to all be at $4.99.

My apologies. You are correct. It’s a good buy at that price.

Dolby Newsroom - September 2nd 2025

 

Dolby Laboratories, a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, today announced Dolby Vision 2, a groundbreaking evolution of its industry-leading picture quality innovation. Hisense is the first TV brand to announce it will bring Dolby Vision 2 to its lineup of premium televisions, such as RGB-Mini LED TVs. 

 

For over a decade, Dolby Vision has pushed picture quality forward as the gold standard for premium HDR. Dolby Vision 2 builds on this success and is designed specifically to meet the evolving opportunities of television experiences today, serving as one piece of Dolby's broader mission to advance picture quality across all entertainment and devices, from the biggest to smallest screens.

 

Dolby Vision 2 is powered by a redesigned and even more powerful image engine. This new engine when combined with Dolby Vision’s extensive content ecosystem unlocks even more out of your TV. This is fueled by a robust content pipeline spanning today’s most popular movies and TV shows, weekly live sports broadcasts, and an expanding library of games, all in Dolby Vision. And with new tools coming to the creative community, content in Dolby Vision will look even more astonishing when enjoyed on a Dolby Vision 2 display.

 

Dolby Vision 2 will be available in two product tiers from TV manufacturers.

 

  • Dolby Vision 2 Max delivers the best picture on the highest performing TV's, adding additional premium features designed to utilize the full capabilities of these displays.
  • Dolby Vision 2 brings dramatically improved picture quality to mainstream TV's, delivering the core next-generation capabilities made possible through the new Dolby Image Engine and Content Intelligence.

Full report at Dolby Newsroom

 

Mac Daily News Take: Perfect timing for Apple’s next-gen Apple TV hardware which is expected this October or November.

 

Start saving for your next Dolby Vision 2 TV guys 😁

Five films from the Harry Potter franchise are available individually for $4.99 each.

 

Three of them are at $14.99 each which isn't a good deal IMO. These are The Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows 1 & 2.
