Apple always points out a valid reason whenever they ship a new hardware element in a product. Apple wants to be an integral part of this wireless future and so the stepping stone towards this technology would be the next generation Bluetooth. Bluetooth Smart (4.0).Apple has already implemented this in its latest iPhone 4S and also in the latest Mac mini computers and MacBook Air.
The much talked about Apple TV will also get the Bluetooth 4.0 upgrade. The code –based finding with the Bluetooth enabled technology reveals more information on the upcoming Apple TV. Its manufacturer, Broadcom states that it provides the highest level of integration for a mobile and handheld wireless system. The chip contains an integrated IEEE 802.11 a/b/g and single stream
802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 + HS, FM radio receiver and transmitter. The advanced design techniques enable lower power consumption. The new Bluetooth guarantees that the peripherals can be ultra thin as well. Where the normal existing Bluetooth takes 6 seconds to get paired, Bluetooth 4.0 takes 6 milli secs or sometimes almost instantly to get paired. Since Apple TV is going to be a complete new entertainer that will enable connection with your TV, we can imagine the huge list of input devices that the product will come up with. Bluetooth 4.0 goes way beyond what an IR-based remote can do. These low-powered, Bluet00th 4.0 remotes can feature more than just buttons. Imagine a Siri-powered Apple TV box that includes a Bluetooth remote with a built-in noise-canceling microphone to take Siri commands.
The possibilities, it seems, are almost endless in terms of revolutionary input devices that can connect to other Blueto0th 4.0 products. We’re excited to see how Apple takes advantage of all the powerful technology they are leaving in the next iteration of their little hobby.
