Apple TV aims to capture 'cord cutters'

The new Apple TV will launch in late October at a starting price of $149.

Apple TV has lagged rivals with similar devices. According to the research firm Parks Associates: Roku leads the US market with a 37 percent market share, to 19 percent for Google Chromecast and 17 percent for Apple TV. Amazon's Fire TV devices have 14 percent.

Apple shares rebounded a day after a lukewarm market reaction to the US tech giant's launch of upgraded iPhones and other devices.
