AppleTV 4 with Siri remote
Apple TV with new operating system
Also for the new Apple TV, many of the news that Apple revealed during its keynote event on September 9, 2017 had previously been read as rumors and leaks on the net - similar to iPhone 6s and 6s Plus As well as iPad Pro, which were also presented. Nevertheless, Tim Cook promised nothing less than the future of television in his performance. "The future of television is apps," Cook said verbatim. No question, therefore, that the new features of the Apple TV 4 also includes the long-awaited app store. But in sequence.
Remote control with voice control
The new Apple operating system of the Apple TV 4 listens to the name tvOS and "made for the living room". TvOS is based on iOS, which should help developers get started. Selected programmers have already received the Apple TV OS so that the first apps are already in work.
The new Apple TV - data and facts
You can buy these applications in the new app store of the Apple TV. Such a thing had long been speculated. Now the user can really download games, streaming offers, homeshopping programs and much more to his Apple TV.
Directly to the release of the new Apple TV should be offered by content providers such as Netflix, HBO and Hulu. Like all announcements of the Apple keynote, this is at least for the US market. We are curious about what is happening in the United States. Netflix, Maxdome and Watchever as well as Mediatheken the television stations are conceivable. Amazon Prime Instant video rather not.
With "Disney Infinity 3.0" and "Guitar Hero", strong game brands are also moving into the Apple TV. The remote control reminds you in the use of the shown game demos to the control of the Nintendo Wii console. The Apple TV as the new game console for families? Throughout the range. Especially since there will also be some exclusive titles: The "Frogger" clone Crossy Road gets a special multiplayer mode on the Apple TV. A second player can enter the game by means of an iPad or iPhone, also coop games are included. Harmonix, the makers of "Rock Band", presented BeatSports at the Apple Event, family-friendly music mini-games, which should only be available on Apple TV.
The other examples of apps included in the new store include a fitness app, a comic reader, an airbnb app, and the shop from gilt.com.
For American sports fans, the commitment of the baseball league MLB is interesting. About their app, Livesport comes to Apple TV. The Hockey League NHL is scheduled to follow in 2017. The Apple TV is supposed to make linear sports transmissions interactive. Split screens allow you to watch two games at the same time. In addition, the viewer can zoom in on the touch remote control, forwards or rewinds, or even show statistics. An exciting idea of what would be possible here in the football Bundesliga - but probably the right should fail.
All existing apps have been redesigned and Apple Music including the Radiostation Beats1 is of course integrated into the new Apple TV as well.
Our first conclusion about tvOS: The redesign of the menu interface is the focus. Nice gadgets like 3D effects on the cover pictures of films let the Apple TV radiate in contemporary brilliancy. The apps from the new App Store for Apple TV will enrich Apple's streaming box as much as they've done on iPhone, iPad and iPod.
Second big innovation of Apple TV 4: the already mentioned new remote control with touch surface for wipers - and above all with voice control. A connection of Apple's iPhone-Voice Assistant Siri and the TV control appears to be only logical. Especially since Amazon's Fire TV already brought a similar operating concept. Siri is now to be called on the Siri remote via its own button.
On demand it searches iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Showtime. Siri can even answer very specific questions. At the Keynote, the example of a guest performance of a particular actor in a single episode of a TV series was presented. Siri is sure to show the correct sequence.
In addition, Siri can jump back and forth on the announcement in the video. In addition to time jumps, specific momentary demands such as "What did she just say?" In the example shown, the Apple TV not only spun back, but also quickly switched subtitles to the unrecognized scene.
There appear wishes like "Show me all Bond films with Sean Connery" then also no more difficult. Siri offers on command search criteria such as actors, directors and age release. During the film, the Apple Assistant not only answers questions about the current video ("Who plays with?"). Independent additional information such as the results of the sporter or the weather prediction can also be displayed by voice command at the bottom of the screen. If the user asks for more detailed information on the screen by paging, pauses the current playback automatically.
The previous Apple TV remains on offer (Apple TV for 79 euros in the Apple Store).
TvOS is now available for developers, also the new hardware is provided by Apple immediately. Apple TV 4 will be sold to 80 countries by the end of October, with 100 countries to be at the end of 2017.
Unlike Apple Music, which brought the Apple Radiosender Beats1, the new Apple TV - contrary to all rumors - but without excluding exclusively produced by Apple video content. At least for the time being.
