Apple TV 4 – A8 chip, up to 16 GB storage space, but no 4K

apple tv 4 hardwareApple TV 4 will be presented on September 9 by the Apple company, and if a few hours ago I told you that it will be sold at the price of only 149 dollars, well now I will tell you what will be its hardware configuration.

According to sources close to Apple, Apple TV 4 it will have a black or dark gray remote control that will match the color chosen by the Americans for the product case, it will be tactile, with motion sensors and an integrated microphone for Siri.

Remote Apple TV 4 it will be made of metal, and apart from the classic buttons, it will have one that will work as a Home button, another to activate the Siri personal assistant, but also buttons that allow the quick adjustment of the volume played by the product.

Apple TV 4 will have 8 or 16 GB of storage space available for saving content for offline viewing, with Apple wanting to launch an 8 GB model for $149 and a 16 GB model for $199, but for now it is not known what he chose

Because the Apple TV 4 runs iOS 9, Apple implemented the A8 chip from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which has less processing power than the A8X of the iPad Air 2, more precisely a dual-core processor instead of a triple- core and 1 GB RAM instead of 2 GB RAM, the graphics card also being weaker.

Apple TV 4 has exactly the same ports as the current model sold by the Apple company, so we are talking about an HDMI port, a charging port, a USB port and that's it, Apple avoiding implementing a Thunderbolt port for it.

The big "absent" of Apple TV 4 is the lack of 4K support, the Apple company deciding that for now such a function is not needed for its product, but it was normal for it not to come now because the use of an A8 chip severely limits the product's performance.

Having said that, in exactly one week we will see Apple TV 4 for the first time.
