Apple Once Again Offering $25 iTunes Gift Card With Apple TV Purchase in iTunes Festival Promotion

Ahead of its London iTunes Festival (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/21/apple-8th-itunes-festival-london-september/) in September, Apple is promoting (http://store.apple.com/us/appletv) its Apple TV with a bundle deal offering a $25 iTunes gift card with each Apple TV purchase (via 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2014/08/12/apple-is-again-giving-away-free-25-itunes-credit-with-the-purchase-of-an-apple-tv/)). The gift card can be used to purchase apps, music, and movies available in the iTunes Store, and the promotion is valid through September 30.

 Earlier this year, Apple offered a similar $25 gift card promotion (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/28/apple-tv-25-gift-card/) that sparked speculation about a possible imminent launch of an updated Apple TV. These rumors turned out to be false, and Apple is still selling the same third-generation model that saw its last substantial update in early 2012. Though this latest promotion offers a $25 gift card, the Apple TV still retails for its original $99 price tag.
 
 The current crop of rumors suggests a 2015 update (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/30/apple-tv-launch-delayed/) for Apple's television-related hardware, with delays to a rumored set-top box interfacing with live and on-demand content reportedly due to ongoing negotiations with cable companies. Rumors have indicated the next-generation Apple TV (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/) may include an App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/23/apple-tv-game-support/), support for wireless game controllers (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/23/apple-tv-game-support/), Siri integration (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/23/siri-for-apple-tv-ios/) and more, although it is unclear whether Apple plans to split the television lineup between the full-featured set-top box and an improved Apple TV or if everything will be bundled into a single Apple TV product.
