New Apple TV to Cost $149 and Finally Get Universal Search!

The new Apple TV will be priced starting at $149 and will finally get Universal Search, reports John Paczkowski for BuzzFeed.Paczkowski notes that as previously reported, the Apple TV is set to receive a faster processor, a more powerful remote with touchpad input and motion sensors, and Siri integration for voice control. However, another big new feature will be Universal Search which lets you search and receive results from various sources.Sources familiar with Apple’s plans say that a cornerstone of the the company’s new set-top box is a universal search feature that will enable searches across multiple streaming video services as well as Apple’s iTunes Store. Instead of searching the catalogs of multiple video services one-at-a-time for a particular movie, you’ll now be able to search all — or most of them — at once and then choose the service on which you’d like to watch it. You’ll also be able to search for actors and directors, and run other more targeted searches as well — all with Siri. While Apple’s intelligent personal assistant is core to this feature, sources say there’s another engine driving it as well — Matcha, the video discovery start-up Apple acquired back in 2013.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
