Earlier we heard that references had been found in the new iOS 5.1 Beta to a new version of the Apple iPad, probably the iPad 3 and also the iPhone 5, and now another device has been discovered, a new Apple TV.
The guys over at 9 to 5 Mac have discovered a reference to a new Apple TV, the device is referenced as the Apple TV 3,1, with a codename of J33, and the devices usually only get the codename when they are near to release.
This could mean that Apple are getting ready to release a new Apple TV, and whilst we don’t have any specifications it is likely that it will come with a new dual core A5 processor like the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.
Potential Features of the New Apple TV
The new Apple TV is expected to bring several enhancements over its predecessor. The inclusion of the dual-core A5 processor would significantly boost its performance, enabling smoother streaming and faster navigation. This processor has already proven its capabilities in the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, making it a logical choice for the new Apple TV.
Another exciting possibility is the integration of Siri, Apple’s voice-activated assistant. Siri could revolutionize the way users interact with their Apple TV, allowing for voice commands to search for content, control playback, and even manage smart home devices. This would align with the rumors that Apple is working on an actual Apple TV set, which is expected to feature Siri and could launch next year.
Impact on the Market
The release of a new Apple TV could have a significant impact on the market. With the increasing popularity of streaming services, consumers are looking for devices that offer seamless and high-quality streaming experiences. The new Apple TV, with its enhanced processor and potential Siri integration, could set a new standard for streaming devices.
Moreover, the rumored Apple TV set could further disrupt the market. If Apple integrates its ecosystem of services, such as Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and Apple TV+, into the TV set, it could offer a compelling all-in-one entertainment solution. This could attract not only existing Apple users but also those looking for a comprehensive and user-friendly entertainment system.
We have been hearing rumors recently that Apple are working on an actual Apple TV set, which will come with Apple’s Siri built in and is rumored to launch next year, we wonder if the new Apple TV set top box will also come with Siri.
