This Tuesday Apple introduced a variety of products including new Apple TV 4K TVs. In addition to 4K resolution, they support HDR 10 and Dolby Vision HDR video formats, improved integration with Siri and live news and sports events, among others.
Let's take a look at the technical parameters of these devices. They will be available for pre-order on September 15th and will begin shipping on September 22nd. Notable changes include the return of the Gigabit Ethernet port, which disappeared in the last generation Apple TV, and, in contrast, the abandonment of USB Type-C, which was previously used to connect to Macs.
