The word Set Top Box evokes in many people the idea of a box from which they have a remote control, insert a card into it and watch TV stations from morning to night. Well u Apple is the word Set Top Box something else. It brings the idea of a small black box with a simple controller and no possibility to insert a card. This wonderful cabinet too, just like all of them Apple devices, richly cooperates with iCloud, thereby contributing to the creation of a perfect connection of all devices. I have one of these cabinets myself and I can say that it is sometimes used, but mostly it sits next to the TV and slowly gathers dust. This box can be used for streaming video, photos, and even those who know how can turn it into a game console. Well, enough words like box, box and the like. Apple he called this device simple Apple TV. Let's see together how it all started:
Apple TV 1nd generation
The first generation Apple TV was introduced on January 9, 2007, which was pre Apple a perfect breakthrough year. It was only withdrawn from sale on September 1, 2010 after three long years and almost eight months. At the time, it contained an Intel "Crofton" Pentium M processor clocked at 1 GHz and 256 MB of RAM. The graphics were not integrated into the processor, but there was a dedicated Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics card. This generation was the first and at the same time the last to include a full-size HDD with a capacity of 40 or 160 GB. It is a matter of course for us nowadays to support koneWiFi activity that Apple TV The 1st generation had The entire device ran on a modified Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard system. Apple TV 1 had respectable dimensions of 200 mm in height, 200 mm in width and 28 mm in thickness. The weight was compared to the current one Apple TV huge and had a value of 1,1 kg.
Apple TV 2nd generation
As I mentioned above, Apple TV 2 was introduced on the day when its predecessor ceased to be sold, i.e. 1.9.2010. This device contained a processor Apple A4 with integrated graphics. Like its predecessor, it had 256 MB of RAM. The HDD has definitely disappeared from this device. He was replaced cloudom and user-inaccessible 8GB Flash storage. This device was already able to play HD movies in the quality of 1280 x 720 pixels. Cell Apple TV the second generation ran on modified variaMarketplace iOS, which Apple denotes as Apple TV Software. In this generation, there was a significant defatting and slimming treatment. The dimensions have changed to 99 mm in width and 23 mm in thickness. The weight has dropped dramatically to just 0,27 kilograms. This generation was sold until March 7, 2011, when it was replaced by a newer model.
Date of introduction of this generation Apple TV is on the date of withdrawal of the predecessor from sale. Prothe cesor was replaced by a processor Apple A5 with two cores, but one core remains idle. Procesora was seconded by a RAM memory with a capacity of 512 MB. The device ran on software Apple TV Software 4.2. For the first time, FullHD video is supported here. The dimensions, design and weight remained identical to the predecessors.
Apple TV REV A 3rd generation
Slight technical changes at Apple TV occurred on January 28, 2013. There were no changes that could be discerned with the naked eye. It was about changes in the insides. Proemperor Apple The dual core A5 was replaced with a modified single core variantom. Similar to the previous generation, it had 512 MB of RAM memory. Entire devices run on software Apple TV Software 5.2.
? Apple TV 4th generation / Apple iTV?
Well, it's time to argue a little. It has been talked about for a long time Apple TV like a TV, not like a Set Top Box. What do you think about it? You think so Apple will it break through fully into the living room or will it only remain in the study? My personal opinion is that it would Apple he could easily break into the television market, but he would have to bring something good and it definitely couldn't have a four-figure price because it could end up like iPhone 5C, whose sales certainly did not meet expectations. But let us be surprised. Maybe us Apple surprises with a product with a price and equipment that wipes out the competition.
... when something is described from another portal, one must be consistent at least in the translation - see description Apple TV3 “…Apple TV is on the day of catching up from the sale of the predecessor…”
I apologize for the mistake. The article is purely my creation. It has not been copied from any other portal.
Can someone explain to me why it is Apple TV black? I understand that most TVs have this finish, but I would still like it to be white or a better polished aluminum like the rest. Apple things :)
Bitchy: I don't really know, but I personally believe so Apple could the next generation Apple TV (set-top box) can also be offered in white. After all, it has the same appearance today AirPort Express :-)
