Apple is reportedly prepping a new Apple TV set-top box for this summer, with Siri, the App Store, and home automation as centerpieces.</p><p>
The report comes from BuzzFeed’s John Paczkowski (http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/new-apple-tv-set-top-will-debut-this-summer-with-app-store-s?bftw&amp;utm_term=4ldqpgc#.sgYDkEvPR), who has a highly reliable track record with Apple rumors. Paczkowski’s unnamed sources say Apple will show off the new hardware at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and will release a software development kit for a TV-friendly version of the App Store.</p><p>
  The hardware itself could be a “significant overhaul,” possibly with Apple’s latest A8 system-on-chip and much more storage than the current Apple TV’s 8GB. The operating system will get a revamp as well, allowing for Siri voice commands and remote control of HomeKit-enabled smart home products (http://www.macworld.com/article/2867321/homekit-at-ces-its-all-about-simplicity.html).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2900039/new-apple-tv-hardware-coming-this-summer-report-says.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
