According to Buzzfeed’s John Paczkowski , Apple is planning to introduce its long-awaited next-generation Apple TV in September. As per some other sources familiar with Apple’s plans says that the new set-top box will be unveiled in September at the same event where Apple will unveil the next-generation iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
Before it was rumored that it is said to include an A8 processor, a touch pad based remote which improved drastically compared to current version. The operating system of Apple TV supports a full App Store, developer APIs, and Siri voice control, and more on-board storage to accommodate apps. Physically, the Apple TV will take on a new, slimmer look.
Apple will not be introducing its rumored television service at the same time, with sources telling Buzz feed that the Internet-based streaming service could possibly launch in late 2015, but 2016 is more likely. Current rumors suggest Apple’s television offering will bundle approximately 25 channels and cost between $30 to $40 per month.
Apple was widely expected to introduce both its Apple TV as well as upcoming streaming television service in June, at its annual World Wide Developers Conference, but the two products were not ready for launch at that time But Apple postponed its release of the set-top box because it was not ready in time and held off on the television service because deals were not completed.
Apple has not introduced a revamped version of its Apple TV since 2012, so an updated set-top box with App Store support and other features will be a major change from the platform that we know and use today.
