Here we have a little introduction of this new set-top box before we get to see the first round of new Apple TV hands-on reviews.

After months of touting features like an touch-enabled motion remote with Siri built-in, access to the Apple App Store and a more powerful A8 processor, Apple has delivered on many, if not all, of it. “We believe the future of television is apps”.

The new Apple TV remote works with Bluetooth 4.0, volume control, an accelerometer and gyroscope (for games), and up to 3-months charge time on a single charge. By speaking into a microphone on the remote, users can control the device, and a system-wide search lets them play content from any supported app through the voice.

The long-awaited Apple TV update was announced Wednesday with the introduction of “tvOS“. Jon Carter, of Rock Band developer Harmonix, took to the stage to demonstrate an Apple TV-exclusive game, Beat Sports, which gives a music-game gloss to a Wiisports-style motion-controlled baseball game.

The new Siri Remote dramatically simplifies how you select, scroll and navigate through your favorite content while bringing unique interactivity to the new Apple TV by using a glass touch surface that handles both small, accurate movements as well as big, sweeping ones. Even video apps will have more capabilities, including baseball stats and the ability to watch two games at once side by side.

But it’s not the hardcore gamers that the new Apple TV is aimed at. Apple TV will search iTunes and popular apps from Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Showtime, displaying all the ways the resulting TV shows and movies can be played. If you miss a line in a film or TV show, you can ask Siri “what did she say” and it will automatically rewind the clip 15 seconds and turn on subtitles.

The 32 GB Apple TV is priced at $149, and the 64 GB model at $199. But Bloomberg reported in August that the launch of the TV service announcement had been pushed to early 2016 because of Apple’s slow start in negotiating deals with the broadcasters and cable networks.
