Although Apple TV is not really a hot product in Apple's product family, it also cultivates a certain number of "fans." Many friends are looking forward to it becoming even better. Among these “fans†is David Katzmaier of CNET. Then we can listen to his suggestions for improving Apple TV.
I like Apple TV. It is one of my favorite streaming media devices. However, it still has room for improvement. Apple's upcoming WWDC has brought great opportunities for the upgrade of Apple TV. Although Apple did not disclose the future plans of Apple TV, I am full of expectations for this product. I hope that Apple TV will bring the following improvements.
Amazon Video App
My first complaint about Apple TV was its lack of real TV shows and movie hits: Amazon Video. There are rumors that Amazon will land on Apple TV this year, and may even be released in the WWDC keynote. Let's wait and see.
4K and HDR
Unlike Roku, Apple has not yet entered 4K streaming media, nor has it combined with high dynamic range (HDR) technology to provide best-quality videos from Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube. To join 4K and HDR requires Apple to create a brand new Apple TV, rumored that the new Apple TV will come this year. I suspect Apple may launch this new product this fall, not at WWDC.
"Hey Siri" liberates TV
In contrast, Roku does not have a mature voice command system like Siri. Currently you have to press and hold the microphone button on the remote control to bring up Siri, but I'd be happy to use the phrase “嘿Siri†to “wake up†and listen to my commands, eliminating the need to press the button. The new Nvidia Shield allows users to "listen" to game controllers, and Apple can use a similar scheme to make Siri remotes perform similar functions.
Better game support
Apple TV is hard to match with PlayStation 4, Xbox One or even Nvidia Shield in terms of hardware, but it can still bring a better gaming experience. Although a lot of casual games are now supported, most of them are designed for mobile phones and tablets. If you support more games from the download shops of traditional game consoles, especially independent games, arcade collections and old games, this may be It will become cool. Last summer, Apple made a correct decision (supporting third-party game controllers). It is time to encourage developers to develop games for Apple TV more strongly.
Optical digital audio output
The previous generation of Apple TVs had an optical digital audio output interface, but the new Apple TV was canceled. I know Apple hates the extra interface, but listen to me. Assuming that the new Apple TV supports 4K video, anyone using an AV receiver or speaker to switch must purchase a new 4K-compatible optical digital audio output and then send it to a 4K TV.
Remote search
All right, I admit, I prefer Roku's features. Another great feature is that when you press the small button on the top of the Ultra box, its remote will make a loud buzz. Apple's Siri remote is one of my favorite remote controls, but finding it on sofa cushions is sometimes difficult. It would be better if Apple could add a function to find remotes.
Better TV and device control
Now Apple TV can use the touchpad remote control to easily control the volume and other functions of the TV, but it does not apply to every TV, and the control of other devices is also limited. If Apple really wants to take over this grey room, then it will add powerful device control capabilities to the set-top box, allowing the small controller to control enough devices while also integrating the iPhone application and voice.
At the upcoming WWDC conference, we may not see the new Apple TV hardware, but the arrival of a new generation of tvOS system will also make the Apple TV experience more complete. As a newborn system, tvOS needs to go. There is still a long way to go. As to whether Apple TV can take a higher level, it also depends on the combination of hardware and software.
We are cautious and optimistic about the future development of Apple TV.
