The rumors for the next presentation of an Apple TV in September they are getting stronger as this presentation has been delayed for a little over a year. It is very clear that in this new Keynote of September there will be a new iPhone and it is also very possible that there will be a new iPad. It is also very possible that the Force Touch reaches all the devices of the bitten apple, but this also falls within the rumor mill.
The new, and expected, Apple TV
In the June Keynote it was almost certain that a new Apple TVBut due to something we do not know, rumors indicate that the Apple TV will be presented in September. What can we find?
According to sources managed by 9 to 5 Mac, the new Apple TV you will have a full-fledged iOS, with a processor that meets the needs of the new device, named as J34.
New Design
After spending more than five years with the same external design, it is quite possible that this software change also resulted in a change in the external appearance of our beloved Apple TV. Rumors indicate that this new Apple TV may look a little more like the previous one, this would give us a slimmer but slightly wider product with a plastic body that makes wireless connections compatible with routes and Bluetooth remote controls.
New remote control
Rumor has it that the new remote control will look older, will be larger, will have the ability to include gestures. Other rumors indicate that it will have incorporated a configurable screen. With the integration of the Force Touch in other Apple devices, this technology could also become part of Apple TV.
The abandonment of infrared emitters is a necessity rather than a whim, so Bluetooth would be the main element when communicating the remote control with the Apple TV. This remote control could also integrate other elements of the house that are inside the famous HomeKit, using an SDK implemented specifically for it. There are many rumors that the new Apple TV could be the brain that controls the rest of the devices in the house through wireless networks.
The captain's files have been very enlightening when it comes to indicating the possible future functions of Apple TV, such as for example Wil audio technology, which could be integrated into the remote control itself including either a small speaker, as we find it on the Wii, which could improve the gaming experience, the enter voice commands and Siri, as Amazon already has integrated, and the possibility of having a Jack or Bluetooth connector for headphones. In this way, the viewer's private experience could be improved.
Siri on Apple TV
Many have long fantasized about adding Siri to Apple TV. This is something that other televisions and other smart devices already do, so it is not something unreasonable, in fact, it is a trend many SmartTVs on the market.
And in command it would facilitate the possibility of giving orders and doing searches as the current system is nothing short of complicated. This system would allow us to search simply by issuing a voice command that Siri would immediately interpret: "find a James Bond movie" or "Open the CandiCrash."
A complete operating system on the Apple TV would allow us to search all the built-in applications, not just the native ones, so we could interact directly with Netflix or any other application or content library.
AppStore and SDK
The possibility of having an SDK dedicated exclusively to Apple TV and based on iOS would open the door to a complex world of applications that could be adapted to your own App Store. This is something that many of us have also been fantasizing about for a long time.
The possibility of having dedicated applications for the Apple TV it would open the door to a lot of streaming video in addition to games and social media applications or even productivity. For this Apple only has to allow developers to dump the content, as it has done with the iPhone and iPad.
Hardware
In order to support all these future developments, the new Apple TV it will have to put the batteries at the hardware level, improving it a lot with respect to what we have now. The current hardware consists of an A5 core, which was introduced in 2012 to support 1080p video and which only has 8 GB of flash hard disk and 512 megabytes of RAM. It is possible that in this new Apple TV let's see double the RAM of the equipment reaching 1 Gb (or perhaps 2 Gb), some rumors suggest that the hard disk could be multiplied by four reaching 32 Gb. These hardware changes will probably make the equipment more expensive, something that is very predictable and that many users are willing to accept.
A new interface
It is more than likely that before a new update of the operating system the user interface is also modified, being more similar to the one we have now in the iPhone and iPad. As always, we will have to wait for these new appearance updates since Apple has always been very conservative about the appearance of the Apple TV.
Tv streaming service
Rumors about a streaming system are also insistent, although the last known rumors on the matter indicate that in all probability the service will be postponed until 2016. Television networks and content distributors are making begging for the issue, which would include a plan of $ 40 per month and the possibility of enjoying the contents on all the brand's devices.
