With the good reception that both Apple Arcade and Apple TV + have had among users, the rumors about a new Apple TV soon grew stronger. In the last leak that starred in 9to5mac it was clearly seen that Apple is working on new hardware. Now these rumors have gained even more strength.
Storage won’t be a problem on the next Apple TV
From the YouTube channels iUpdate and The Verifier have offered many more details of this ‘Apple TV 6’ that could see the light in the not too distant future. This report talks about the storage configurations available on these Apple TVs. Currently we have in the Apple online store the possibility of buying an Apple TV with a base storage of 32 GB with an optional expansion to 64 GB. But this will change since the base model of this ‘Apple TV 6’ would be 64 GB with the possibility of opting for 128 GB.
This can make quite a lot of sense since if we are talking about that this hardware equipment will be indicated for Apple services, it is normal that enough basic available space is made available to users. The series and movies we already know that they do not occupy especially little and in games more or less the same thing happens.
Children will have a space on Apple TV
In addition to this expansion in base storage, Apple would be working in a ‘child mode’. It should be noted that this is more a function of tvOS than the hardware itself, but it is certainly interesting. The operation would be quite simple since it would allow creating a special account for the little ones with a fully customizable parental control. This ensures that the content displayed by the smallest is totally appropriate for their age.
To this parental control, which we already have in iOS quite well implemented, you can also check the time we have spent using Apple TV. This is also a function called ‘Screen Time’ that we find on our iPhone, iPad or Mac. In this way we can precisely control the use we make of our Apple TV to avoid spending many hours playing or watching a batch of movies that we love them.
In the end, what Apple is focusing on is having a design that is very focused on the content they are offering. This is totally logical since they seek to sell their subscription to different services and this is done by making the interface accessible.
Regarding the availability of this new Apple TV, it is speculated in the report that it will arrive before the end of the year. Obviously it is a very long date and it is possible that the presentation will be made at WWDC 2020 itself that is held online as it already happened with the arrival of Apple TV 4K.
Initially, in addition to this improvement in base storage , a renewal of the processor is also expected, which may already be somewhat outdated. But unfortunately few extra changes we will see in this device that the truth works wonderfully for the purpose it pursues. The real changes we hope to see in the next version of tvOS that has been very abandoned in recent years.
