The iOS release says that as a product in development moves even faster to launch, it has been assigned with a proper codename. Just not only an identifier like “3,1” but also assigned a codename such as N94 (iPhone 4S) or K48 (original iPad). The next-generation Apple TV moved to that step. Thanks to today’s beta release of iOS 5.1, we have codename in our hands for this new Apple TV(3,1).
As the above figure shows, the new Apple TV is rocking the J33 codename, the second JXX product we have seen from Apple. First was the J2- a new iPad – which we revealed last week. Apple’s iPad 2 is just about reached the peak of Apple’s KKK options with CDMA version called as K95, so Apple’s move to JXX terminology is somewhat that would have to happen sooner or later. With Apple newly beefing up their leading tablets and phones with dual-core A5 chips, we consider this new Apple TV signifies an A5 dual-core model, which packs in 1080 playback capabilities. As to whether this thing has a display on it, it is too early for us to tell.
