At its media event in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Apple announced  an updated version of the Apple TV. Referred to simply as  “the new Apple TV,” the  set-top box will be capable of 1080p video output and benefit from a new streamlined interface similar to what we have experience from iOS.
