New Apple TV: Siri and the App Store are the stars of Apple's new set-top box<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Apple is re-entering the living room with the
2015 Apple TV, a new set-top box that streams video, plays games, and uses Siri to answer your every entertainment whim.</p><p>The last time Apple upgraded its living room hardware was more than two years ago, and even that was a minor refresh of the 2012 Apple TV. The new version is a significant upgrade, packing more powerful hardware and a full-blown app store.</p><h2>Return of the puck</h2>
<p>While the basic shape of the new Apple TV hasn’t changed, it is about 10 mm taller than its predecessor, presumably to make room for all the added computing power under the hood. Gone is the crusty old A5 processor, and in its place is a 64-bit A8 chip. Around the back, there’s HDMI and Ethernet, but apparently no optical audio output.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2982324/streaming-hardware/new-apple-tv-siri-and-the-app-store-are-the-stars-of-apples-new-set-top-box.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
