The presentation of Apple TV was a real revolution in the world of set-top boxes, since it is not a device that only allows us to watch content via streaming, but also nallows you to install applications and games to be able to enjoy this device as if it were a video game console, obviously saving distances. This complete renovation that meant the change from the third to the fourth generation has achieved that the sales of this new device have risen considerably in the United States, where it has always had a much wider market than outside of it, where it can hardly be accessed the content that the company was adding.
According to the latest figures that have been published, Apple TV has become the fourth most used multimedia player, with a growth of 50% compared to 2014, after Amazon, Roku and Chromecast. Currently Roku is the undisputed king of the market with a 30% share, accompanied by the different Google devices. In third position is Amazon with a share of 22%. In fourth position we find Apple TV with 20% market share. Part of the blame for this rise is due to the new options offered by the fourth-generation device in addition to the extensive advertising campaign that the company is carrying out in the country.
Apple devices have never been known for being cheap. Surely if the fourth generation Apple TV had a more content price, many users of the Apple ecosystem would use one of these devices both to consume streaming content and to be able to enjoy their favorite iOS games on the big screen of their television. . Competitor devices, we can find them for just over 30 dollars in the market. Little by little more and more developers are betting on adapting iOS games and applications to tvOS, since the necessary changes are mainly related to the interface in addition to adding support for MFI controllers.
You wrote Apple Watch instead of Apple TV, and in fact it would be the New Apple TV, since the presentation of the Apple TV was next to the iPhone (Original) in 2007 with a similar appearance to the Mac Mini.
