Mark Gurman just published that the next Apple TV will be more focused on games and will have a new remote control. To say that you don't have to study quantum physics. They are two statements that fall under their own weight.
The first, because being a device connected to a television, it is "almost" mandatory to enhance it with the possibility of being able to play good games, even if it is below any current video console. And that Apple decides to change the current remote control, is of receipt. The kids have already broken two of me.
Mark Gurman just posted on Bloomberg Apple's intentions about the performance of a new Apple TV in 2021. The new device is said to have an updated remote control, a new processor inside, and a more targeted approach to enhancing its playability.
He says that for next year, Apple is planning an updated Apple TV with a focus on more current games, an updated remote control and a new more powerful processor and with better graphics. He says those changes will fix some of Apple TV's problems, but that the device will have to take another big leap, similar to its 2015 changes, to remain competitive in the long run.
He explains that one of the changes that will come to the remote control of the Apple TV will be the integration with the application "Search" of iOS. This would allow users to locate the remote control if they cannot find it, similar to trying to track a lost iPhone or iPad. Perhaps for this incorporate the U1 chip ultra-wide band.
Other reports have indicated that Apple is testing Apple TV prototypes with a processor A14 inside. The new Apple TV could also run exclusive Apple Arcade games that take advantage of that potential and that would not be compatible with current Apple TV models.
Evidence of a new Apple TV update has been hanging around the iOS code for a while. With continuous rumors about the launch of a new device and three years Since the last update, it looks like we could finally be close to seeing a new Apple TV sometime in 2021.
