I saw something about bundling iOS and tvOS apps? Are they the same thing now? The initial app download from the App Store is limited to 200 MB from there, developers can package up downloadable bundles that only download when the user needs to access those resources.įor example, you might download a game that has the first five levels as part of the initial download bundle when you're about to finish the fifth, the game might call the resources from the server for the next ten. To keep users from downloading gigantic files when their use of the app may only require a few dozen megabytes, Apple offers On-Demand Resources. will third-party apps have size restrictions on Apple TV?

While Apple TV apps won't be quite as full-featured as third-party iOS programs, developers will still be able to take advantage of a bunch of different frameworks including Metal, UIKit, CloudKit, Game Center, and On-Demand Resources. Yes! For the first time, developers will have access to an Apple TV SDK in the form of tvOS. can developers finally make apps for the Apple TV? That said, we expect the third-generation Apple TV to get some sort of UI refresh/update when the fourth-generation lands later this year-Apple Music's coming to the Apple TV, of course, and HBO, Netflix, Hulu, and Showtime certainly aren't going anywhere. The third-generation Apple TV's A5 chip is positively ancient by iOS standards-it's what was in the first-generation iPad mini-and would make it highly difficult for third-party developers to support apps on that platform. Can the third-generation Apple TV run tvOS? You'll be able to trigger it using Siri, as well as (likely) through the Settings app. One of the Apple TV's new settings is Enhanced Speech, which is similar to Sonos's Night mode: It ups sound for voices and lowers background noise and music, making it easier to watch at night without upsetting other members of your household. I heard something about an Enhanced Speech feature? What's that? There are also custom cinematic screensavers that display time-lapsed movement in a variety of well-known cities each screensaver hooks in to your local time, as well, displaying the appropriate morning, day, or night scene. (Netflix, for example, could show you your recently-watched TV shows and movies, or "recommended for you" list.)

When you swipe to any of these apps, you'll get a content preview of floating movie poster icons and the like, customized for the app in question. By default, these are iTunes Movies, iTunes TV Shows, App Store, Photos, and Music, but you can switch these out for any third-party app of your choice. The grid of retangular icons with poster previews remains mostly identical, with one new change: The first five app icon slots have become the Apple TV equivalent of your Dock, labeled here as your Top Shelf. The formerly-black Apple TV UI has been lightened to a shimmery grey, with iOS 9 blurs and parallax poster and app icons that jiggle as you swipe to them. It uses many of iOS's frameworks-like Metal, Apple's graphics performance engine-to provide a gorgeous, speedy interface for your television. Well, given this section's name, it may not be too hard to guess: Yes, we do have a new variant flavor of iOS on the block, called tvOS.
TvOS What's the Apple TV running under the hood?

As you noted, however, fictional question-asker, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus do shoot in 4K-so Apple's definitely aware of the format and I wouldn't be surprised to see support come in 2016. It's a bummer, but 4K is just exiting its nascent, expensive technology phase this year-it may not have been financially feasible to put together a 4K Apple TV in 2015. Buh? No 4K? But the new iPhone shoots it!

Like its predecessor, the fourth-generation Apple TV supports H.264 video up to 1080p at 60FPS, along with other forms of H.264 codecs, MPEG-4 video, and AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV audio formats. Gone is the optical out port, sadly, for those who liked driving speakers directly through their box.

On the connectivity side, you're looking at 802.11ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 4.0, 10/100BASE-T Ethernet, and an IR receiver for ports, the Apple TV has been reduced to a single HDMI 1.43 port and a USB-C port for service and firmware updates. This lets it tap into Apple's Metal video framework as well as gives it the backbone to run great video, games, and other applications. What's the Apple TV look like under the hood?įirst and foremost, it's gotten a huge speed bump over its predecessor: The fourth-generation Apple TV sports an A8 processor to the third-generation's A5. We've got some specs on the new Apple TV remote, too: It's 4.88 inches tall-yes, taller than the Apple TV itself-and 1.5 inches wide, with a depth of 0.25 inches.
