APPLE SPECIAL EVENT
an upgradeto the A12 processor.It wasn’ta shoo‑in for
this event, but would have gone well with the release
date and pricing announcements for both Apple Arcade
and Apple TV+. An updated Apple TV makes sense, but
everyone agrees that the product needs a redesigned
remote far more than a more powerful processor.
Perhaps we’ll hear more about a new Apple TV device
during an October event, still before the launch of the
first Apple TV+ shows on 1 November. Maybe it has
been shelved until next year. Or maybe, with the TV
app available on smart TVs and much broader AirPlay 2
support, Apple doesn’t necessarily see a need to update
the Apple TV hardware just yet.
