9to5mac: Apple TV 4 coming in October for under $200

Mark Gurman, writing for 9to5mac:

Apple’s next-generation Apple TV will include a number of new features to differentiate itself from the older version, including Siri support, a new remote control, an App Store with a Software Development Kit for developers, and a refreshed user interface. As soon as next year, Apple plans to release a cable-replacing streaming TV service that bundles multiple television channels for a price as low as $40 per month, but the new Apple TV will initially still require logins to cable networks to unlock content.

I think the new Apple TV will fly off the shelves. A lot of pent up demand, built up expectations. It’ll be interesting to see what channels make it into Apple’s bundle and how that impacts cable pricing. Will the cost of internet-only packages rise to make up for lost revenue?
