Apple Launches New Apple TV

Apple’s Eddy Cue said the new Apple TV will come in two models – a 32 GB version for $149 and a 64 GB model for $199 – and will become available in late October in 80 countries, and expand to more than 100 by the end of the year. The new devices will join the current-gen Apple TV, which sells for $69.

Apple, which has shipped more than 25 Apple TV units, is launching the new models as it looks to regain the pole position against over-the-top streaming device rivals. According to Parks Associates, Roku led the way with 34% of the streaming device market in 2014, followed by the Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and the Apple TV. Apple and its peers are also contending with Android TV, Google's new OS for smart TVs, streamers and other connected TV devices.
