Apple has scrapped its original Apple TV design and introduced a new unit, which is only 25% of the size of the original Apple TV. The new video content model is “rental only” – everything will be rented so that users don’t have to manage storage (it’s convenient for Apple too). From the demo, it looks like the HD streaming starts right away – this is important because download times on iTunes can be quite (too) long sometime. The video quality is full HD (1080p). The user-interface is rather simple and is split into a handful of categories: Movies, TV shows, Internet, Computers and Settings. This is probably good enough, although it doesn’t have that Apple “shiny” look that we got used to. Users can subscribe to things like Netflix – we’ll see if other services will be available in the future. Netflix is pretty much present on every platform.
