what appeared to be the next gen apple TV showed the device being half centimeter smaller in a US regulatory filing but slow your roll Apple has said it had to file new paperwork with the FCC following the change of one of its internal components that would not affect any of the product features the component in question appears to be an updated a5x processor and an updated internal
