  • Apple is all all set to launch its latest flagship iPhones and if rumours are to be believed the new iPhones will be unveiled on September 12. However, the iPhones might not be the only devices Apple unveils at its September event. According to Bloomberg, the Cupertino-based tech giant is also planning to upgrade its streaming box, the Apple TV, to include 4K streaming capabilities.

The report further cites sources saying that the new Apple TV “will run a faster processor capable of streaming the higher-resolution 4K content .” In addition, Apple is expected to update its TV app and highlight live programming including news and sports.

  • “Apple is seeking to revive its video ambitions with the new product,” reports Bloomberg. According to market research firm Parks Associates, the Apple TV was the fourth most popular streaming media player in the US, behind the Roku, Amazon's Fire TV, and Google's Chromecast. The Apple TV recorded a 15 percent drop in its US market share from January through March 2017.
