when did apple tv 4th generation come out
Apple TV On September 9, 2015, Apple announced the 4th generation Apple TV, to ship in October 2015. It is the first major update to the platform since the release of the 2nd generation Apple TV on September 1, 2010. Tim Cook took the stage and said "The future of TV is apps". He also stated that the Apple TV needed a modern OS. While matching the form factor of the 2nd and 3rd generation models, it is significantly taller. The 4th generation Apple TV features a new touch remote allowing swipe-to-select functionality instead of the old remote's arrow button, and integrated Siri support with a built-in microphone and an accelerometer (IMU). The Siri button on the remote allows several functions, including searching across providers for content, accessing additional metadata and video/audio controls.
Apple TV The second generation Apple TV was unveiled on September 1, 2010, and was the first to run on a variant of iOS.[14][15][16] The device was now housed in a very small all-black case, one-quarter the size of the original. The new model did away with an internal hard drive and had 8Â GB internal flash storage, enough local storage for buffering purposes; all media was now streamed, instead of synced.[17] The new device could also stream rented content from iTunes and video from computers or iOS devices via AirPlay. All content is drawn from online or locally connected sources.
Apple Watch The second generation of Apple Watches were released in two tiers in September 2016: the Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch Series 2, while the first generation was discontinued.[13][14]
iPad (4th generation) The fourth-generation iPad (marketed as iPad with Retina display, colloquially referred to as the iPad 4)[15][16] is a tablet computer produced and marketed by Apple Inc. Compared to its predecessor, the third-generation iPad, the fourth-generation iPad maintained the Retina Display but featured new and upgraded components such as the Apple A6X chip and the Lightning connector, which was introduced on September 12, 2012. It shipped with iOS 6.0, which provides a platform for audio-visual media, including electronic books, periodicals, films, music, computer games, presentations and web content. Like the iPad 2 and the third-generation iPad, it has been supported by five major iOS releases, in this case iOS 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. iOS 11, which was released on 19 September 2017, does not have support for the fourth-generation iPad because of hardware limitations.
