what's up everyone John rector from technobuffalo here taking a look at the brand new just announced and now released 2012 iteration of the Apple TV let's go ahead and see if there's any sort of surprises that might be hiding behind this very similar looking package alright so by just looking at the Box you're not going to notice much differences between this and the 2011 version save for that stuff right there 1080p most importantly this guy can now stream 1080p content from Apple servers previous one was only 720 all right let's go ahead and bring out the unboxing scissors go ahead and cut open the plastic and take a look at this guy and see we can expect when you pick one up for ninety nine dollars go ahead and open this we did cover the new user interface that accompanied the apple TV announcement it is available for the 2011 Apple TV model so you don't have to pick up the new version if you want that new interface only pick up the new version if you want to 1080p content so here's what we're going to have in a box we've got a very familiar-looking remote does not appear change from the previous model you've got your five way navigation so up down left right into the middle menu and play and pause and all clad in aluminum or aluminium ending on to where in the world you are so there's that digging into the rest of the box we've got eight power cord for power cording and we've got an apple TV booklets for much telling you how to set it up but it's pretty easy to set up you just plug it in all right so here is the Apple TV go ahead and peel off the plastic all right so we've got a little bit of a pull tab here and we're always went to follow directions so we will pull the tab revealing all the ports it's like an apple TV striptease here we'd like some sexy music John I've done done Donna Anna chuck it push that off to the side and things here look relatively similar to the outgoing model there's your power hdmi you've got a mini USB or micro USB rather optical audio and then you've got a wire internet port if that's how you choose connected of course says 802 11 n built-in all right let's go ahead and talk about the specs to this guy and what else it has what's running a custom version of iOS from dimension standpoint it's point nine inches by three point nine inches by three point two nine inches making it sort of a square on that side and rectangle depending on how you want to look at it and it weighs point six pounds it's being powered by an 85 single core variation so I know dual cores here single core variation in the a5 chip we don't know the RAM in it yet the 2011 model at 256 so presumably this has been upped i would probably guess 512 internal storage we also don't know what is streaming only but the outgoing model had eight gigs inside for operating system of that kind of stuff of course no camera and flash important in that kind of business because it is just a streaming product but does do 1080p as sort of the big difference here alright and just for comparison let's go ahead and bring in the outgoing 2011 model push all that stuff off to the side and they're not much difference here they look almost identical in fact it'd be hard to tell which one was which so with the 2012 model you're getting almost blu-ray quality not quite because of some compression issues with Apple servers of the 1080p supposedly look very nice but of course I will connect this to a television I will take a look at 1080p to see how it really looks so what'd you guys think Apple TV is it worth it still no hulu plus support but you do have netflix and of course Apple streaming services that you get through through itunes so i'm jon rettinger from technobuffalo this has been an unboxing of the 2012 Apple TV see you guys next video bye bye you
