Apple TV 4 consoleApple TV 4, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus will be presented on September 9 by the Apple company, but until then we find out a multitude of more or less interesting information about what he is going to offer us from next month.

I told you last week that Apple TV 4 will have a new remote control and advanced control through Siri, and at the weekend I told you that Apple TV 4 could cost $200, and today you will also find out why the Apple company would choose such a high price.

According to sources close to those in Cupertino, Apple wants to Apple TV 4 to be the future console of many users, those from Cupertino directly attacking XBOX One or Playstations 4, but to the extent of the possibilities offered by the hardware.

Apple TV 4 will have an App Store through which we will be able to install the games created by the developers, and their control will be possible using the touch remote control or the gamepads that we will be able to connect to the product thanks to iOS.

In addition to the convenience of downloading games directly from the Apple TV's built-in App Store, and controlling many of them via a new bundled remote control, Apple will also support more complex, console-style Bluetooth game controllers with the pressure-sensitive buttons and joysticks.

Starting with iOS 7, Apple has implemented support for gamepads, but in Apple TV 4 brings real utility to these accessories, they can control games played on TVs, all in a way that is as natural as possible, the experience being similar to that offered by consoles.

To "sweeten" things a little, Apple has also implemented motion sensors in the remote control of the product, so you will be able to drive a car by moving it, you will be able to play tennis and much more in a similar way to that offered by the Wii.

Of course Apple TV 4 it has much weaker hardware and iOS games don't have anywhere near the graphic quality or extensive story of console games, but Apple has to start somewhere with the evolution, and this new product is the beginning.

Now moving on to the new remote control, it will have a dedicated button that will take over the role of a Home button, it will have a separate button for activating Siri, it will have batteries that need to be changed, but it will allow you to navigate through any Apple TV menu, with Siri doing the same thing.

Offering total control of the Apple TV through Siri, the Apple company finally brings the option to use only our voices to navigate through any menu in the user interface of the product, this option not being offered for any other product from Cupertino.

Apple TV 4 will benefit from Bluetooth 4.2 and support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac, offering download speeds of hundreds of megabits, but also low energy consumption, users even being able to choose in advance which controllers they use for the games tried on the new product.

Apple TV 4 is announced to be a great product, but it remains to be seen how many will be willing to pay $200 for it instead of a console that, by and large, offers about the same functions, but a much better experience and much more games Interesting.
