Apple little by little is shedding its previous model, indeed I mean the second generation of Apple TV that it has seen for the first time since its launch you will not receive the new system update, specifically version 7.1 (iOS 8.2) that will reach the third generation of this set-top-box.
To be more exact, the new update includes a security patch that fix the FREAK exploit (Factoring Attack on RSA-EXPORT Keys) that came to light last week, this arose as a result of "security" policies that countries forced to install in the software with which consumer equipment is marketed. In this way, with the update, you would be definitely protected against this vulnerability.
On the other hand, Tim Cook during this last keynote spoke he started talking about Apple TV saying:
We are adding content every day. Of all the channels on Apple TV, there is one that I would like to talk about in particular: HBO
Apart from security it is also important to point out the future inclusion of HBO now, a subscription streaming service that allows any Apple TV user to access HBO content without having to contract the cable offer of this chain with series of the caliber of Game of Thrones, The Sopranos ... For now this The service will remain exclusively for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad for a while, although unfortunately as it usually happens with this device, the service will only be available for the United States during the next month of April with a price of $ 14,99 per month per subscription .
This new offer of on-demand service that was initially ruled out by the television network itself, is an important step on the way to become the multimedia center and create healthy competition between different services such as Netflix that would be renewing itself to offer quality programming.
