Among the many other announcements Apple recently made at its March 2015 event, was that they were dropping the price of their streaming Apple TV box by $30, from $99 to $69.
苹果公司最近在其2015年3月的活动中宣布的其他众多公告中,包括将其流式苹果电视盒的价格从99美元降至30美元,降至69美元。
更新! 苹果发布了新的Apple TV (UPDATE! Apple Has Released the New Apple TV)
As of October 2015, Apple has finally released their completely overhauled Apple TV.
截至2015年10月,Apple终于发布了他们经过全面翻新的Apple TV 。
The new unit comes with an App Store, unified search, and a new touchscreen remote with a Siri button so you can search by just talking to it.
新设备配备了App Store,统一搜索功能以及带有Siri按钮的新触摸屏遥控器,因此您可以通过交谈进行搜索。

We’ll be testing this new unit out and updating all of our articles for the new version.
我们将测试这个新单元,并为新版本更新所有文章。
The Apple TV has been around since 2007, predating even the ever-popular Roku. The current version is Apple TV’s third generation device and is ancient by technology standards, though it did get a minor refresh in 2013.
自2007年以来,Apple TV就已经问世,甚至早于广受欢迎的Roku。 当前版本是Apple TV的第三代设备,按技术标准来说是古老的,尽管在2013年确实有所更新。
Apple claims that it has sold over 25 million units over its lifetime though to date, it continues to lag far behind said Roku and How-To Geek’s favorite streaming device, the Google Chromecast. In fact, as of 2013, Roku and Chromecast were reported to be each outselling Apple TV by almost 2-1.
苹果声称,尽管到目前为止,它在整个生命周期中已经售出了2500万台,但仍然远远落后于Roku和How-To Geek最喜欢的流媒体设备Google Chromecast 。 实际上,据报道,截至2013年,Roku和Chromecast各自比Apple TV快2-1 。
It’s often unusual for an Apple product to be an also-ran for so long, but a $30 price cut and exclusive cable-free access to HBO with the upcoming HBO Now service, could go a long way towards swaying people to give the device another look. That said, is it enough to persuade people to switch?
苹果产品也要运行这么长时间通常是很不寻常的,但是降价30美元并通过即将推出的HBO Now服务独家提供HBO的免费有线访问,可能会大大影响人们向设备提供另一个产品看。 也就是说,说服人们转换是否足够?
硬件:Apple质量,有点 (The Hardware: Apple Quality, Sort of)
For $69 you get the Apple TV, a remote, and a slender two-prong power cord (no ugly wall wart, thus no need to make space on your surge protector).
只需69美元,您就可以得到Apple TV,遥控器和细长的两芯电源线(没有丑陋的壁疣,因此无需在电涌保护器上留出空间)。
As streaming boxes go, it’s well made, heavy (the power supply is internal, which gives it more heft), and has a nice rubberized bottom. That, combined with its weight, and the Apple TV is unlikely to get pulled or knocked off your entertainment center.
随着流媒体箱的发展,它的制作精良,笨重(电源是内部的,这使它更重),并且底部具有橡胶涂层。 再加上重量,Apple TV不太可能从娱乐中心被拉出或撞倒。

The remote, on the other hand, is terrible. Don’t get us wrong, it’s very well made. How many times do you get a remote sculpted out of a single piece of aluminum? So, it has good material workmanship and it looks nice, but that’s about it. It’s small and uncomfortable to use, which is unfortunate because if you don’t have a Bluetooth keyboard handy (you can pair one (highly recommended) with the Apple TV), you have to type with the remote; and trust us, this is no good, no good at all.
另一方面,遥控器很糟糕。 别误会我们,做得很好。 您可以用一块铝雕刻出多少个遥控器? 因此,它具有良好的材料Craft.io,并且外观不错,但是仅此而已。 它体积小且使用不舒服,这很不幸,因为如果您没有方便使用的蓝牙键盘(可以将一个(强烈推荐)与Apple TV配对),则必须使用遥控器进行打字; 和信任我们,这是不行的,一点好处都没有。

Luckily, if you do want to use a remote, you can pair the Apple TV with other remotes, so it’s not like you’re stuck with the included one.
幸运的是,如果您确实想使用遥控器,则可以将Apple TV与其他遥控器配对,这样就不会让您迷恋随附的遥控器。
介面 (The Interface)
The Apple TV software is currently sitting at version 7.1 and is based on iOS 8.2. As a streaming interface goes, it’s alright but it just doesn’t feel wholly like an Apple product yet; it just doesn’t shimmer and flow like most Apple OS design.
Apple TV软件当前为7.1版,基于iOS 8.2。 随着流媒体界面的发展,它还不错,但感觉还不完全像苹果产品。 它只是不像大多数Apple OS设计那样闪闪发光。

Navigation is all grid-based and menus don’t allow you to click through from bottom to top and vice-versa. This means that if you scroll to the bottom of a menu, you have to scroll all the way back to the top. This is particularly annoying when using the remote to type.
导航都是基于网格的,菜单不允许您从下至上单击,反之亦然。 这意味着,如果滚动到菜单的底部,则必须一直滚动回到顶部。 使用遥控器键入时,这尤其令人讨厌。
There’s also the fact that the hardware is so old that using the Apple TV isn’t exactly what we’d call brisk or fluid. It’s just not snappy and instant but rather a bit tedious and laggy. Also, while it’s not wholly accurate to say it’s kludgey, it’s also difficult to not feel like it could come together a bit better.
还有一个事实是,硬件太旧了,以至于使用Apple TV并不是我们所说的轻快或流畅。 它不是快速而Swift的,而是有点乏味和漫长。 同样,虽然说它是不完整的并不完全准确,但也很难不觉得它可以更好地融合在一起。
也许,最终是罪魁祸首的梦想? (Maybe, Eventually a Cordcutter’s Dream?)
Content offerings are pretty consistent across all streaming devices at this point. All are going to have Netflix and Hulu and MLB.tv, among many many more. If the Apple TV doesn’t have a channel you want, then you’re probably an outlier.
目前,所有流媒体设备上的内容产品都非常一致。 所有人都将拥有Netflix,Hulu和MLB.tv,还有更多。 如果Apple TV没有所需的频道,则可能是异常值。
Moreover, Apple TV is going to support HBO NOW, which debuts ahead of season 5 of Game of Thrones. That, in and of itself, may be enough to convince a few people to buy it (though HBO NOW will carry a monthly subscription fee of $14.99).
此外,Apple TV将支持HBO NOW ,该电视节目在《权力的游戏》第5季之前首次亮相。 就其本身而言,这可能足以说服一些人购买它(尽管HBO NOW将每月收取14.99美元的订阅费)。
![](https://i-blog.csdnimg.cn/blog_migrate/2892b50ed552a9fa7c2436bfe4e59d39.png)
Beyond that, Apple is reported to be in talks with traditional media outlets to offer live TV in Fall 2015, including CBS, FOX, ESPN, and others. Again, there will be a monthly charge to this as well (estimated to be between $30 and $40).
除此之外,据报道,苹果正在与传统媒体进行谈判,以在2015年秋季提供直播电视,包括CBS,FOX,ESPN等。 同样,这也将每月收取费用(估计在$ 30到$ 40之间)。
Nothing is set in stone obviously, and things could change or fall through before then, but it is a tantalizing prospect for the hardcore cordcutter who simply doesn’t want to pay cable or satellite providers for TV channels.
显然,没有什么是一成不变的,在那之前事情可能会发生变化或崩溃,但这对于硬核剪线钳来说是一个诱人的前景,他们根本不想为电视频道支付电缆或卫星提供商的费用。
更好的Apple TV即将面世 (A Better Apple TV is Likely on the Way)
Apple TV’s biggest appeal will likely be to people who are already using Apple’s other products – Macs, iPads, and iPhones. Yes, you can use the Apple TV as you might a Roku or Chromecast, but the experience is better suited for Apple products.
Apple TV的最大吸引力可能是已经在使用Apple其他产品(Mac,iPad和iPhone)的人们。 是的,您可以像使用Roku或Chromecast一样使用Apple TV,但是这种体验更适合Apple产品。
That said, a $30 price drop would seem to indicate that Apple is readying a major refresh. Given all the buzz surrounding HBO NOW and a possible (probable) live TV deal, it would seem counterintuitive for Apple to attempt another living room takeover with two-year-old hardware.
也就是说,30美元的价格下跌似乎表明苹果正准备进行重大更新。 考虑到HBO NOW的所有嗡嗡声以及可能的(可能的)直播电视交易,对于Apple尝试用已有两年历史的硬件进行另一次客厅收购似乎是违反直觉的。
Moreover, if you use an iPhone or iPad, you don’t need Apple TV for HBO, you can “subscribe to HBO right from your Apple TV or iOS device.”
此外,如果您使用iPhone或iPad,则不需要Apple TV进行HBO,您可以“直接从Apple TV或iOS设备订阅HBO ”。
If you own an Apple TV, but never really got into it, now might be a good time to revisit. Yes, it doesn’t feel like the platform’s potential is being fully met, but that Apple is pushing forward with plans to add more features and content, is a sure sign that they’re not giving up on it.
如果您拥有Apple TV,但从未真正使用过,那么现在可能是重新访问的好时机。 是的,这似乎并不能完全满足该平台的潜力,但是苹果正在推动增加更多功能和内容的计划,这肯定表明他们没有放弃。
The conclusion we’ve come to then is, if you can wait, then wait. Yes, HBO NOW might be a tantalizing prospect for many on the fence, but HBO will be there six months from now, as will likely a new version of Apple TV with hopefully, a better interface, more content, and perhaps even Siri integration and app store access.
我们得出的结论是,如果您可以等待,那么请等待。 是的,HBO NOW NOW对于许多人来说可能是诱人的前景,但是HBO将在六个月后出现,新版本的Apple TV有望具有更好的界面,更多的内容,甚至Siri集成以及应用商店访问。
