Next-gen Apple TV turns big screen into a giant iPhone

The addition of the smartwatch accessories such as Milanese Loop, Leather Loop, and the Classic Buckle alongside Apple Watch Sport and the Stainless Steel model will also help Apple promote its other variants to Target’s regular customer-base.

Apple’s last two releases have been with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens.

Apple’s quarterly net profit totaled $11.1 billion, or $1.96 per diluted share, compared with a net profit of $8.5 billion, or $1.42 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.

Global sales, which account for 62 percent of the quarter’s revenue, apparently play a key role in creating the positive growth numbers.

An app called Storehouse provides a good illustration of how the fourth-generation Apple TV isn’t just a device for watching television.

Apple’s 3D Touch is available on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. In any case, it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to the $155 billion in revenue the iPhone has driven in 2015, up 52 percent from previous year.

Huawei demonstrated a smartphone digital scale app on the ForceTouch version of its Mate S smartphone, unveiled earlier this summer at the IFA technology tradeshow in Berlin.

This means that if you start playing the game on your iPhone on the way to work, you can continue that saved file at home on your Apple TV. The thing is that 80% of them are joke apps, “for entertainment purposes only” and the other 20% try to weigh things using the tilt of your iPhone once it’s been balanced on top of an inflated bag and calibrated using a single coin.

The new Apple TV has several new features; the greatest, perhaps, being the embedded access to the App Store.

Apple has declined to reveal unit sales for the Apple Watch, citing competitive reasons. McLeod’s team submitted a video showing the app in action with an iPhone but were strictly told off that “the concept of a scale app was not appropriate for the App Store”. But [we] do hope for a day when Gravity can be one of the hand-picked, who-knew-a-phone-could-do-that-apps anyone can download on the App Store and have in their pocket.

Apple still needs to persuade developers to make more apps that really exploit the larger, and often shared, TV screen. Well, everyone has an opinion on this, and I’m sure a few of you would love to share yours in the comments.

“You would think that in this age of mobile, everything has been shared, but no”, Kawano said.
