New Apple TV will reportedly debut in June with an App Store and Siri

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple once again rumored to revamp Apple TV (http://www.imore.com/apple-tv), this time for WWDC (http://www.imore.com/wwdc-2015) in June.</p> <p>The specs are pretty much the same as previous reports — a modern chipset, an App Store, HomeKit, and Siri. Which makes sense given the last update was March, 2012 and Apple has updated a lot of their core technologies since then. <!--break--> John Paczkowski, writing for BuzzFeed (http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/new-apple-tv-set-top-will-debut-this-summer-with-app-store-s?bftw&amp;utm_term=4ldqpgc#.vrmLzjbRA):</p>

<p>As for the new Apple TV box itself, expect an updated design and new innards: the company's latest A8 system-on-chip — or a variant of it: a dramatic increase in on-board storage to accommodate app downloads — well beyond the 8GB in the current device; and an improved operating system that will support Siri voice control Apple TV, and enable it remotely for a selection of Homekit-enabled home automation devices.</p>

<p>It's all in line with what Rene wrote earlier this week on the future of Apple TV (http://www.imore.com/future-apple-tv). (Though there's no indication "Apple TV Direct" has gotten any traction.)</p> <p>Apple has been reported to be making some big moves in TV recently. The company will be the exclusive launch partner of HBO Now (http://www.imore.com/apple-tv-official-launch-partner-hbo-now-streaming-service), the standalone streaming service from HBO, and they have been said to be working on their own subscription TV service (http://www.imore.com/apple-reportedly-prepping-streaming-television-service-launch-fall) to debut this fall.</p> <p>The new Apple TV has been rumored for launch several times over the last couple of years, hopefully this time's the charm.</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/449f0ab4/sc/15/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
