Product description

It’s all about apps.

Apps are the future of television. Think about it. On your mobile devices and computers, you already use apps to access all sorts of entertainment. And that’s exactly where TV in the living room is headed too. Apps allow you to make individual choices about what you want to watch. And when and where you want to watch it. With the new Apple TV and its powerful new tvOS, developers are creating experiences that will change what you expect from your big screen, making your TV feel as personal as your iPhone or iPad.

All the entertainment your TV can handle.

iTunes movies from Hollywood blockbusters to indie films. Live sports and news. And there’s much more to come. More and more apps will mean more and more choices of great things to watch.

Games and apps on TV. It’s gonna be huge.

The App Store is coming to your TV. You can expect big, exciting games. Imagine apps that turn your living room into a fitness studio or a classroom. Or multiperson experiences that redefine family game night. We can’t wait to see where developers take this.

The television finally gets some technology love.

With the advent of iPhone and iPad, many of the big innovations and newest technologies have focused on the small screens that fit in our pockets or that we carry in our hands. But it’s time our big screens share in that technology and get an equally innovative experience. With the new Apple TV and tvOS, a redesigned interface, and the Apple TV Remote with touch surface, there’s never been a better time to be a TV.

A TV experience you’ve never experienced.

Your TV screen is all the way across the room. That’s why the experience of using Apple TV is designed to let you feel like you’re interacting directly with your TV, not separated from it.

So long endless button pushing. Hello swipe.

Touch forever changed how we interact with our phones. Now it comes to the remote. Use your thumb on the Touch surface of the new Apple TV Remote to scroll, select, and navigate your TV screen effortlessly.
