The first evidence has emerged that society Apple working on the fifth generation Apple TVThe device running tvOS was first introduced in 2015, but it lags in several areas, which is why many of us would welcome an update to the model. Server 9TO5Mac published what future improvements might bring Apple TV with tvOS.
Current Apple TV lacks support for 4K videos, which makes it lag behind other products on the market. Other competitors already support high-quality 4K videos, and they are at the same price level as Apple TVThis would also involve updating the iTunes catalog, which would have to offer films and shows in this quality.

In addition to 4K support, the Cupertino company could work on something like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Virtual assistant based on Siri would work exactly like the competitor's assistants, but the question remains whether Apple at all plans to build in Apple TV something like that.
Apple announced at the end of last year that wants to stop developing WiFi routers AirPort (The Harbour District). So it is speculated that Apple TV could also function as a router, or at least as a router extender, thus replacing AirPort Express. Last but not least, users would like it if Apple TV was a more capable gaming device. Apple already raised maxThe minimum size of tvOS apps has been reduced from 200 MB to 4 GB, so developers can work on games without any problems.

I will write a similar comment to the previous article about Apple TV :-D
As soon as they introduced the 4th generation, I said to myself that the next one will be capable of 4K and this one will start cutting. Am I so looking forward to her? ? What do you think the memories will be like? 32 and 128?
The processor will probably be an A10, maybe a little cheaper I would say, maybe they will remove the 2 weaker cores.
How do you think it will connect a 4K TV at 60 fps? It doesn't work via HDMI, right?
Personally, I would welcome the return of optical sound output, but I will be a returner anyway. I consider 4K unnecessary, because the human eye at 3m cannot tell the difference from full HD, regardless of the lack of resources for playback. Perhaps only videos from iP.
4K support would be mainly related to the support of the new x265 codec, which will contain more and more content. Today, aTV can handle a movie only in x264. Otherwise, in two years it will be unusable for watching movies via infusion or plex.
That's more than 3 meters, we have a diagonal of 125 cm and even from 5 m (normal distance) I can tell if the photos are from my 3rd generation Apple TV or from a flash drive. And photos from a DSLR camera look really good in 4K. Like printed ones.
Paradoxically, because of my glasses, I can see them better than on 4K monitors :-D on my phoneoneI think 250 dpi would be enough, I love it when someone pushes me galaxy S7 with 576 DPI is much better than 326 and I can tell :-D.
There will be more resources over time, apple TV The 5-year-old one works without any problems and this one will also be a clear choice with a view to the future.
