With Apple reported to be including full fat iOS 9 on any new Apple TV product, its easy to summon a list of titles iPhone and iPad titles that would flourish on the larger screen. The new remote is also said to include sensors that track it as it moves in multiple directions, allowing it to detect motion about as well as the Wii Remote, which relies on an IR sensor. Apple would even make the Cable TV replacement service available on this low cost Apple TV in 2016.

It’s always a good idea to approach rumors with caution, just in case, but it seems pretty clear that Apple is up to something with the Apple TV. However, precisely the same research results also are mislead by the idea that it’s unlikely to start off alone, but alongside a myriad of other revamped electronic devices supposed to associate it. The $200 price tag would mark a significant step up from the current version of the TV set-top box device, which sells for $69, and was originally priced at $99 when Apple first introduced it back in 2012. The new digital media player is rumored to have an all new design, A8 chip and new, bigger remote control with “Wii-like capabilities”. As such, Apple will release a software update enabling its TV streaming service for the third-generation Apple TV, though this device “will not receive support for the upcoming App Store, nor will it be directly controllable by Siri”, 9to5mac adds.

If a new Apple TV does see the light of day on the 9th of September, it will no longer be considered a “hobby” by Apple.
