That means HDMI 2.0 for 60 Hz, hardware HEVC (H.265) decoding, and high dynamic range (HDR) support. Yet 4K television still has minuscule marketshare and true 4K content-and the bandwidth to stream it-is still quasi-mythical for most people.

That's more than enough to handle the Apple TV's 1080p 60 fps video and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1.īecause, of course, the new Apple TV doesn't do 4K.

How to connect the new Apple TV to optical audio.

There are workarounds, but they're either kludgy or costly. Not everyone in the same situation is as lucky, though. I use a SONOS home theater system at home that requires optical audio but, luckily, my television set has optical audio out so I can plug straight into that. That's bad news for people with sound systems that plug in via optical audio. The optical audio output from the previous versions has gone the way of composite and component.

HDMI 1.4 audio + videoĪudio/video on the new Apple TV is handled exclusively by HDMI 1.4. I imagine most people prefer to go wireless these days anyway, so 802.11ac with multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) will give them a better, most reliable wireless experience as well. In fact, 10/100BASE-T is likely smarter than gigabit in this specific implementation because it consumes a more predictable amount of processing power, reducing the chance of dropped frames on higher bitrate streams. Nothing you can throw at it should get anywhere near its saturation point. Technically because, in the real world, wired connections are still more reliable than wirelessġ0/100BASE-T ethernet is fine for the amount of data being transferred by the Apple TV. Because there's no gigabit ethernet, the wireless connection on the new Apple TV is technically faster than the wired connection.

Internet access for the Apple TV is provided by 10/100BASE-T ethernet or 802.11ac Wi-Fi. What Apple has done to address this is ditch some of the past while still not embracing much of the future. In other words, you need connectivity all the way through. That means you not only have to have a way to get content onto it, you have a way to get the content out as well. Unlike every other iOS-based device, from the Apple Watch on your wrist to the iPhone and iPad in your hand, the Apple TV doesn't have a built-in display. No optional gold or rose gold finishes either. I don't know if a 128 GB Apple TV would eventually make sense, but time will tell.

The new iPad Pro also comes in only two tiers, 32 GB and 128 GB, so its likely something specific to how Apple sees these products selling. That's interesting given most iOS devices have used the traditional three tier approach to pricing. And you can get it with either 32 GB or 64 GB of NAND flash storage. There's 2 GB of memory as well, same as the latest iPhones and iPads, which is great to see.

It's not as fast as the new Apple A9-series found on the iPhones 6s, but it's an exponential upgrade from the single core Apple A5 SoC in the previous Apple TV and it's more than enough to push around the pixels and bits of the new Apple TV. It's the same SoC found in the iPhones 6 and iPad mini 4. It pairs a second-generation 64-bit 'Typhoon' central processor with a PowerVR GX6450 graphics processor.

Inside the new Apple TV is a dual core Apple A8 system-on-a-chip (SoC). In other words, the box itself is everything an Apple TV should be. You can fit it almost anywhere, you can stack it if you want to, and you can even travel with it easily should the need arise. Taller and all, though, I'm still happy with the shape and size. (Especially since there's no way to disable it short of electrical tape.) While it's okay if you need to eliminate 'Apple TV isn't on' from your troubleshooting list, if you're in a dark room and your Apple TV is in your eye-line, it can be distracting. That's good because the LED light on the front is still there as well.

It's only when you look at it in all three dimensions that the differences become apparent.Īs an bonus, because the new Apple TV's Siri Remote is Bluetooth instead of infrared (IR), you no longer have to maintain line-of-sight with your Apple TV-you can now tuck it behind your TV, close it in a cabinet, or otherwise hide it away. The 2015 Apple TV box looks identical to the 20 Apple TV boxes, at least from the top.
