The new Apple TV with Bluetooth 4.0 and support for MFi controllers

This data from the Bluetooth connection 4th for the new Apple TV it brings us a series of really interesting advantages to users. The renewed device that will occupy a privileged place in the living rooms of many users is compatible with MFi remotes, which means that manufacturers outside of Apple can sell controls for this device and in fact Apple already announces on its website the first one that is fully compatible and designed for it, the Nimbus Steelseries that show it right next to the Siri Remote. This controller, similar to that of any current console, works like a controller for video games and we are sure that it can be enough for the most gamers.

Apple is clear that this change in the Apple TV is a step forward in a device that was lagging far behind and practically obsolete if we look a little over the direct competition. The new device adds numerous changes that we have seen in the presentation and later in the blog, such as the elimination of the Optical Audio port.

Obviously it will not be necessary to buy other third-party devices since its own remote with Bluetooth connectivity provides us with everything necessary for its use, we can also use the iPhone or iPad to control it perfectly. The inclusion of siri on Apple TV Nor does it leave anyone indifferent and we are sure that many of you are already wanting to have yours. The aesthetic changes of the Apple Tv are minimal although it is true that in this matter "we have gotten worse" is not something relevant for its functionality either, now it's thicker and heavier, but the changes added to the interior are what is really important in this case since we do not have to transport it, much less carry it with us.

    Does it support bluetooth headset? It's a hassle to have another device.

      Good haldir,

      I imagine that we will have no problem connecting headphones since if it is allowed to connect third-party controls, why not headphones. Nor do I know for sure and we hope to have the device in our hands as soon as possible to share all the details with you.

      Regards!
