After nearly two years of rumors and speculation on Apple’s plans for its next set-top box, a new report from BuzzFeed indicates that the company plans to debut a revamped Apple TV at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Citing sources familiar with the company’s plans, the report suggests that Apple will choose to show the device off at WWDC along with a long-anticipated App Store for the living room screen, with a software development kit that will help developers get started on building the necessary apps.
The new Apple TV is expected to be a “significant overhaul” of the device to make it stand out from a field that has since been populated with many competitors. The report suggests that the new device will sport some variant of Apple’s latest A8 CPU, increased on-board storage to support the App Store, and integration of Siri voice control.
The existing Apple TV hasn’t been updated since a minor revision was made to the 2012-era third-generation Apple TV in March 2013.
