Many are the rumors that, in recent months, have surrounded Apple TV, a device that today it doesn’t make sense to buy since most manufacturers have added support for AirPlay and HomeKit in addition to access to Apple’s video streaming service.
If Apple plans to renew this device, will have to offer something else so that users opt for it and not the native solution they already find in their televisions. The rumors that point to a more powerful Apple TV and with a new control, it seems that little by little they are being confirmed.
The guys at 9to5Mac, citing people familiar with Apple’s future plans with Apple TV, point out that it is growing a new order, code name B519. The model that Apple is currently making available to users who rely on Apple TV as a multimedia solution is the B439.
Although these sources did not provide further details, from this medium they suggest that thethe changes will be important. With the launch of the 4th generation Apple TV, Apple has redesigned the control to give more visibility to Siri, with which we can access by voice commands, the content available on the video streaming platforms that we have installed on our equipment. .
With the launch of the Apple TV 4K, Apple has redesigned the remote by adding a white border around menu button. More recently, we saw how in the beta of tvOS 14.5, Apple changed the name from Siri Remote, to Apple TV Remote, which could suggest that Siri will have a lesser role in the next generation of Apple TV.
What seems clear is that Apple plans to offer, in what will be the sixth generation of Apple TV, a much more powerful processor as well as a greater amount of storage. Time will tell if Apple wants to turn Apple TV into a platform to enjoy all the games available on iOS on a bigger screen.
