After more than three and a half years since it had a major hardware update, the new Apple TV is finally shipping to consumers. With its new set-top-box, Apple is embracing the idea that the TV channel is dead and its future is apps. With brand-new hardware, a fantastic new remote control and a new interface — the Apple TV of 2015 is a wholly different beast than the products that came before it. Of course, it's also entering into a very different living room ecosystem, where there is strong competition from the likes of Google with the Chromecast, the Roku and Amazon's Fire TV.
Sometimes, the best products are the ones that are the simplest. Google's Chromecast, an HDMI dongle that lets you "cast" videos, music and apps to a TV or computer display using a phone, tablet or computer, is one of those products. At $35, it became an instant hit with consumers when it was released two years ago and went on to sell over 20 million units globally. It was the best-selling media streaming device in 2014, according to analyst group NPD, besting more powerful and pricier set-top boxes like the Apple TV and Roku. The new Chromecast doesn't mess with the original's successful formula. It's got a new design and a faster processor and Wi-Fi, and the dongle now comes in colors other than black, but it's still a Chromecast.
The Apple TV leaks just won’t stop: The latest on the new device, which Apple is expected to unveil at a press event in San Francisco next week, is that it won’t support 4K video playback. Omitting 4K is a bit of a mixed bag for Apple: Consumers have just started to buy 4K TVs, and there is very little 4K content available on streaming services. The new Apple TV will also offer universal search, according to multiple reports, making it possible to search for a movie or TV show across several apps.
