Radek Pokora Eddy Cue has just presented alongside all the news the new generation of Apple TV labeled as Apple TV 4K. And the advantage is not only 4K playback, which is in its name.
4K and HDR support
After a wave of criticism that even the iPhone 6S can record in 4K and the Apple TV cannot play this video in full quality, Apple moved up a class and started offering the possibility of playback in 4K and HDR in a small black box, it will play in HDR10 and Dolby. What does this mean for users? Much better image quality, for the price it takes up more disk space. So if you're a fan of 4K, we definitely recommend the Apple TV in the highest capacity version.
Apple presented the quality of the giant
zu on the new screen saver, when scenes from night Dubai "ran" in the background behind Eddy Cue. At first glance, really exceptional image quality. How it will be in reality, we can be surprised. But 4K is already commonplace today, so 4K HDR will definitely be at least better.
Hardware
The new TV received several novelties in its body. It runs on the A10X chip, with 2x more powerful CPU and 4x more powerful GPU than the previous generation. Together, this will guarantee smooth playback of movies, even in the highest quality offered.
What will you watch?
Apple also showed the logos of all the movie studios it works with and from which movies will be available on Apple TV. And they are all that you would normally expect on TV.
All movies on iTunes will be available in 4K for the same price that Apple TV users are used to with HD movies.
Apple graduated in its effort to bring live sports broadcasts of all the famous American sports channels to Apple TV, but alas - "US only."
Gaming on Apple TV
Much of the Apple TV display space was donated by TGC (thatgamecompany) CEO Jenova Chen. He presented his play "Sky" - a jumping m in the Steve Jobs Theater
ultiplayer adventure for up to 8 players, intended for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.
However, no game controller was introduced with the game, the game is controlled simply using the touch pad on the controller.
Price
More than anything, some of you may be interested in the price of the fifth generation Apple TV. Here are the numbers straight from the conference, differing only by storage size, as is Apple's custom. Of course, the price will be higher with us.
- 32GB – $149
- 64GB – $179
- 128GB – $199
The fifth generation Apple TV will be available this year in 8 countries: USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and UK, or shown in the photo below, to order on September 15, on sale on September 22.
How about availability? In the article you write that it will be available in 8 countries, but on the Apple.cz website they say that it can be ordered on September 15.9.
It can be bought anywhere in the world, it is about the availability of the live sports broadcast service. It will initially be available only in the US, but by the end of the year it should also be available in Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Sweden, Norway and the UK.
Thanks, the article said "8th generation Apple TV will be available in XNUMX countries this year" so I first understood that it won't be available here at all.
128GB version?
