In 2015, the guys from Cupertino launched the renewal of the Apple TV, a device that had not been updated for 3 years and that was an important turning point in what we understood as Apple TV, since integrated its own application store, and where games could have an important presence.
This was the 4th generation Apple TV, an Apple TV that was updated again after two years, with Apple TV 4k being its replacement. The 4th generation model dropped in price and was renamed Apple TV. Now, after the presentation of the new Apple's video streaming service, Apple TV +, the 4th generation Apple TV has been renamed again.
Minutes after the end of the event that the Cupertino guys had scheduled for yesterday, Apple's website has been updated again to add not only a link to the new streaming video service, although it is not yet available, but also to the new one. name of the 4th generation Apple TV, a device now called Apple TV HD.
The reason for the renaming of this device is obvious, since Apple wants to show, just by name, that the cheapest Apple TV is compatible with the content of its streaming video platform in addition to that which it will offer us through the TV application.
At the presentation event of Apple's streaming video service, the company also presented its video game service called Apple Arcade, a subscription service in which we will be able to enjoy exclusive games directly from our iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
It seems like finally Apple TV will become a platform for games, Although it seems that it will only be possible if we contract the video game service, Apple Arcade, since as reported by Apple, this platform will have video games completely exclusive to this service, a decision that will probably change when this service is launched, since otherwise, Those who do not contract the service will stop using the iOS platform to enjoy their favorite games.
