2015-08-24
welcome to top 5 i'm your host i as a car apple is expected to hold an event pretty soon the rumors saying we'll see a new iphone maybe a bigger ipad and a revamped apple TV so we kind of know what to expect from a new iphone right iphone 6s it looks the same but it's slightly faster a bigger iPad it's slightly larger iPad you can figure this one out but the new Apple TV could be really cool that is if Apple decides this thing is no longer a hobby here are the top 5 features we want to see in the next Apple TV at number 5 a new remote the apple remote proved you didn't need a complex remote to get things done on TV however Apple might have to embrace the future with a less simple remote maybe something with a trackpad or a microphone so you don't then type out everything with this little up and down arrow key thing perhaps even a private listening mode like Roku when you can hear all of Apple music around the house like if it was an iPod or something hey that's actually really good idea I don't say so myself oh yeah this thing gets lost in the couch cushions all the time lives a perfect shape to fit right between two cushions how about a speaker that chirps when you use a find my apple TV remote on your phone a number for the mythical Apple TV service the apple TV is now 8 years old it's very Apple but it's kinda light on the TV parts we've heard rumors about an apple TV service that could be like sling TV or Sony's PlayStation view service either way it'd be nice to see Apple enter the over-the-top world of offering television over the Internet imagine instead of authenticating with all those apps on appletv just authenticating once and watching whatever you wanted more players in the streaming world means better deals for us normal people number three a new interface this one's really self-explanatory the big jeweled interface has to go Apple installs new apps whatever once wherever once there must be a better way to display all of those options we have he even like folders or something like iOS at number two search and suggestions there are plenty of streaming services available on the appletv a finding stuff now that's difficult we'd love to see a universal search function that can search through whatever apps are on the appletv a search that doesn't put apple services at the top while turning a blind eye to other services so yeah we want more Roku functions in the Apple TV before we get to number one here's some stuff we don't want to see in the next Apple TV we don't really care if it's thinner or lighter it's got to be a certain weight so it doesn't get pulled off a shelf by an hdmi cable also keep the same number of ports on the back hdmi optical audio and ethernet they're all hey okay with us it's now time for the number one thing we want to see in the next Apple TV apps and an app store for far too long the Apple TV has been disclosed offworld an apple TV owner doesn't just get to choose what after they install like I said before apolis all's new apps with software updates we really want to see an app store that lets you choose all kinds of things maybe access to an amazon app maybe games with a touchpad enabled remote like on our wish list that can really work what about apps to control your start home give us an app store apple give it to us do you think the next Apple TV should play blu-ray discs and be 4k compatible should play VHS tapes really you think that well let me know when Twitter i'm matt is for more top fives like this visit top five dot cnet com thanks for watching and I'll see you next time you
