Transcript of Introducing 4th Generation Apple TV
“Hey Siri, give us a hint.”
Join us here on September 9 at10 a.m. PDT to watch the keynote live.
The future of television.TV is a major part of our lives. We gather together around our big screens to watch big shows
and big events. Yet somehow, the overall experience of TV has continued to stagnate. Until now. It all starts by recognizing that apps are the future of television. HBO NOW, WatchESPN, Netflix, Hulu, iTunes — apps are quickly becoming how we watch today. So we built a new foundation around this vision —with a new operating system called tvOS, innovative ways to connect withyour screen, and a smart use of Siri to search for something to watch. This is the new Apple
TV.This is where television is headed.
It’s all about apps.Apps are the future of television. Think about it. On your mobile devices and computers, you already use apps such as Netflix, Hulu, WatchESPN, and iTunes to watch TV shows. And that’s exactly where TV in the living room is headed. Apps have liberated television. They allow you to make individual choices about what you want to watch. And when and where you want to watch it. With the new Apple TV and its powerful new tvOS, developers are creating experiences that will change what you expect from your big screen, making your TV feel as personal as your
iPhone or iPad.
Entertainment
All the entertainment your TV can handle.iTunes movies and TV shows. Netflix and Hulu. ABC and Disney. HBO and SHOWTIME. Live sports and news. And so much more. If it’s worth watching, there’s definitely an app for that.
Games and More
Games and apps on TV. It’s gonna be huge.The App Store is coming to your TV. You can expect big, exciting games. Imagine apps that turn your living room into a fitness studio or a classroom. Or multiperson experiences that redefine family game night. We can’t wait to see where developers take this.
The television finally gets some technology love.
With the advent of iPhone and iPad, many of the big innovations and newest technologies have focused on the small screens that fit in our pockets or that
we carry in our hands. But it’s time our big screens share in that technology and get an equally innovative experience. With the new Apple TV and tvOS, a
redesigned interface, and the Siri Remote, there’s never been a better time to be a TV.
New Interface
A TV experience you’ve never experienced.Your TV screen is all the way across the room. That’s why the experience of using Apple TV is designed to let you feel like you’re interacting directly with your TV, not separated from it.
Siri Remote
Ask more of your television.With all these new apps on your TV, what’s the best way to find something to watch? Just ask Siri. With the Siri Remote, you tell your TV exactly what you want to watch. Or ask Siri to give you a few options, like “Find me some funny TV shows.” Siri automatically searches across popular services like iTunes, Netflix, and more, so you don’t have to dig through each app individually. You can even ask Siri to launch a specific app. The Siri Remote takes the work out of watching TV.
Touch Surface
So long endless button pushing. Hello swipe.Touch forever changed how we interact with our phones. Now it comes to the remote. Use your thumb on the Touch surface of the Siri Remote to scroll, select, and navigate your TV screen effortlessly.
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
A TV experienceyou’ve never experienced.
Until now, finding a movie or show to watch was a burden. You had to do all the scrolling, button pushing, searching, and digging. The new
Apple TV is designed to take the work out of watching TV. Simply ask Siri to find something for you. Bypass all those confusing buttons with a
swipe of your thumb. It’s an experience that makes you feel like you’re interacting directly with the screen, even though it’s on the other side of
the room.

New Interface
Feel fully immersed in your screen.Even from across the room.Many of the products we make — iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch — are built around the same profound experience: connecting you directly with what’s on your screen. Simple, natural movements of your finger play a big role in that. But how do you create that same immersive experience with a screen that’s hanging on the wall 10 feet away? The new Apple TV interface solves that fundamental challenge by using Touch and voice to reimagine how you interact with your TV screen.
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
Touch. The most natural way to navigate.The glass Touch surface on the new remote was engineered to provide an experience that feels both fluid and precise. What your finger does on the remote is exactly and immediately what it does on your screen. It’s so natural, in fact, that your eyes don’t even need to
look down. You never have to hunt for a button to press or have a light on to see.
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
Voice. The most efficient interaction tool ever.There’s no easier way to interact with something across the room than using your voice. The Siri Remote lets you do what’s natural —just say what you want to watch. Siri takes you right where you want to go without having to click through multiple menus to get there.
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
A clean design that brings your content to life.Screens throughout the new Apple TV have been designed to let the content be the hero. And the use of parallax makes movie and TV show posters visually come alive while clearly showing you where you are on the screen. You’ll feel like you’re interacting directly with your TV screen, not separated from it.

Customize the Home screen.Move your most‐used apps to the top row of the Home screen for faster access. For example, add Netflix to your mix, and when the icon is selected, shortcuts to Netflix content appear above. Just click a title to start watching.
New cinematic screen savers.When you’re not actively using Apple TV, it relaxes by displaying aerial HD videos of stunning locations around the world. Shot specifically for Apple TV, these dreamy landscapes drift across your TV, turning your big screen into a mesmerizing work of art.

Siri Remote
The fastest way to find what you’re looking for? Ask Siri.Siri takes the work out of watching TV. Simply say what movie or show you want to watch, and Siri finds it for you. It’s that easy. Dual microphones allow Siri to hear your commands clearly, even if there’s background noise. Tell Siri you want to watch a Hulu show. Or ask it to find Nemo. Siri knows exactly what you’re talking about. The days of wading through page after page of choices to track down your favorite show — or using a remote to type in every letter of a movie title — are thankfully over.

Siri does the digging. So you don’t have to.Searching for a movie used to take almost as long as actually watching the movie. With Siri, you can quickly search for a movie or TV show across popular services, including content apps such as iTunes and Netflix. All your viewing options are displayed on the screen, so you can see where a movie or show can be found. You’ll also see if it’s available to rent, buy, or
watch with a subscription (if you don’t already have one).
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
Refine your search. Siri is smart enough to keep up.With Siri, you can make follow‐up commands during your search until you find exactly what you want. For example, tell Siri youwant to see science fiction movies released in the ’70s. Siri will find them. Then narrow your search further by saying “Only the good ones.” Siri uses Rotten Tomatoes reviews to present only the critically acclaimed ones. And because you’re talking just as you normally would, it all feels completely natural.
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
Siri does more than just search.Sure, Siri can find movies and TV shows. But that’s just the beginning. Ask Siri to
show you sports scores, control playback, pull up the weather, access your settings, and even check your stocks. Tell Siri to turn on Enhanced Speech, which boosts dialogue and softens music and sound effects, so you don’t wake up the whole house when you’re watching a late‐night movie. Or if you can’t understand a line from a show, ask “What did he just say?” Siri will skip back and temporarily
turn on closed captioning, so you can see what you missed.
“Play from the beginning”
“Turn on closed captioning”
“What’s the temperature outside”
“Who is winning the Cubs game”
“Fast‐forward two minutes”
“Launch Beat Sports”
“What did he just say” “Turn on Enhanced Speech”
“Who directed this movie”

Touch Surface
TV was controlled by buttons. Now it’s controlled by Touch.The Siri Remote has a precise Touch surface. So you can use your thumb to swipe, scroll, select, and easily navigate around your screen. Which means no more endless clicking of arrow buttons to find what you want. And scrubbing forward or backward is more exact than ever. Instead of using clunky fast‐forward or rewind buttons —where you always overshoot your target and have to settle for “close enough” — now you just swipe across the timeline and use the preview frames to pinpoint where you want to go. Every move you make on the remote’s Touch surface is mirrored on your television screen. It’s so natural, you’ll wonder how you ever watched TV without it.

TV was controlled by buttons. Now it’s controlled by Touch.
Multidirectional navigation

Click anywhere
Simply click anywhere on the glass Touch surface to

Precise time‐scrubbing
Swipe quickly with a sweeping motion to fast‐forward and
rewind across large amounts of time. Or swipe with smaller, more precise movements to go almost
frame by frame.
Experience Entertainment Games and More Music and Photos Tech Specs
The only remote you’ll need.Navigating your TV with Touch is such a pleasure, you won’t want to put the
remote down. And you don’t really have to. That’s because the Siri Remote can control the volume on your TV or A/V receiver — as well as turn it on or off. Which means no more juggling multiple remote controls. And thanks to
Bluetooth, you don’t have to worry about where you point the remote. The new Apple TV picks up your commands from anywhere in the room.

Your remote control has never wielded so much power.The same remote you use to watch TV can also be used to conquer alien planets or drive in the Indy 500. That’s because the Siri Remote doubles as a dynamic game controller, with the Touch surface acting as a virtual directional pad. It even has a built‐in accelerometer and gyroscope. And in case the action gets too exciting (and it will), there’s a Remote Loop, sold separately, to keep your remote tethered during gameplay.
Third‐party controllers.For serious gamers, the new Apple TV supports MFi‐based controllers that let you run, jump, shoot, kick, throw, punch, or just about any other verb you can imagine.

We can’t wait to see what they come up with.
Performance. The new Apple TV features the powerful 64‐bit A8 chip, which helps bring big, graphics‐intensive games to your TV — so you can play hours and hours of incredible games with higher frame rates. The A8 chip is also designed to be power efficient and to sustain a consistently high level of performance.
Metal raises the game.Metal is a technology that allows developers to create highly immersive apps for tvOS and iOS. It also enables them to squeeze maximum performance from the A8 chip, making your experiences on the new Apple TV more lifelike and exciting than ever.
