Apple has announced a new set-top box that replaces the Apple TV 4K released back in 2017.\u00a0The new model retains the name and design, but has a more powerful A12 Bionic processor, which provides HDR video playback at a higher frame rate.\u00a0The company has announced partnerships with global providers of high-quality content, so it promises users that they will experience a significant difference when watching videos, especially sports broadcasts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The previous Apple TV 4K remained Apple’s flagship set-top box for four years.\u00a0It supports 4K video streaming, HDR, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos.\u00a0The only thing missing was support for a 120Hz refresh rate, which can be important for gamers looking to play serious games on Apple TV.\u00a0It’s also worth admitting that the old Apple TV 4K doesn’t have a very good remote control.\u00a0Fortunately, Apple has completely addressed these issues.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

IPhone 12 Pro owners can re-watch their videos in better quality on the big screen with support for higher frame rate HDR videos via AirPlay.\u00a0The device has received a new function “Color Balance”, which uses the sensors of the iPhone to fine-tune the image.\u00a0To do this, you need to put your smartphone to the screen, after which an automatic assessment using a light sensor will begin.<\/p>\n

Apple TV compares the TV’s color balance to film industry standards and automatically adjusts the picture to compensate for picture imperfections.\u00a0Thus, you can make color correction without resorting to the settings of the TV itself or additional equipment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This time, Apple completely redesigned the remote, adding new buttons and functions.\u00a0The remote control itself is made entirely of aluminum.\u00a0It fits comfortably in the hand and all buttons stand out with a contrasting color.\u00a0The remote has a new touchpad with support for gestures in five directions.\u00a0The fast swipe that many users love is also retained, and a circular gesture has been added to control the scroll bar.\u00a0A huge plus was the appearance of a button to turn on the TV, so now you only need one remote control to control the set-top box and TV.\u00a0The search button is on the side, just like on the iPhone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new Apple TV 4K starts at $ 179 for the 32GB variant.\u00a0There will also be a 64GB version available for $ 199.\u00a0You can pre-order from April 30, and sales start in the second half of May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
