Apple on observing this has chose to create an all new category for such apps to be served under the “Shopping” category in the App Store. That translates to £129 and £169 in the United Kingdom and A$269 and A$349 in Australia.

The newly improved Apple TV, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook, is the golden age of television.
While Apple’s decision to take television more seriously may represent only a small catalyst for the company today, investors shouldn’t take the bolstered efforts lightly.
You can pre-order the new Apple TV at Apple’s website, or through the Apple Store app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Sales of Apple TV are included in Apple’s “other products” segment, along with Apple Watch, Beats Electronics products, iPod, and third-party accessories sales. Though Apple TV is said to be the superior one among them, the results might say something different.
That could be a major disadvantage considering the competition – Amazon’s new Fire TV and the recently-launched Roku 4 – are both 4K ready. Google also introduced the New Chromecast during its September 29 event. As NBC News reports, Siri will hold back when asked particular music questions unless the person asking happens to be an Apple Music subscriber. The new model is available in 32 GB and 64 GB sizes with a redesigned remote control and support for third-party apps. Whether you need restaurant recommendations or you want to know something about World War II, Siri has always been pretty forthcoming, even if it needs to direct you to an outside source. Using Siri, you can search for actors, shows, or movies across streaming services, as well as searching for additional information about what you’re watching, which the Apple TV will display without disrupting the video. Apple is also selling an Apple Care Protection Plan, extra Siri Remotes, and remote loop wrist straps for $29, $79, and $13, respectively.

The newest version reworks all the internal components to make it several times more powerful than the current version and able to blast through all the latest graphically intense games and applications. The “new Apple TV” will support Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11 ac WiFi with MIMO. What is new, however, is the hardware inside and the companion remote.
