New Apple TV Will Feature Universal Search, Start At $149

[center][/center]

On Wednesday, Sept. 9, Apple will unveil its next-generation Apple TV, as we’ve already told you. And, as we’ve also already told you, the device is a significant overhaul of its hoary predecessor, with more powerful innards and a new remote that sources say has been “drastically improved” by a touchpad input and, as first reported by TechCrunch and independently confirmed by BuzzFeed, motion sensors that will allow it to function as game controller.

That’s the hardware. As for software, the forthcoming Apple TV will debut with a number of big features we reported back in March — an App Store of its own and Siri integration that will support what sources in position to know describe as “some pretty hardcore voice control.” Recall that Siri figures prominently in Apple’s invitation to its upcoming event.

But there’s another tentpole feature coming to the new Apple TV as well — and it’s one for which anyone with the old Apple TV has been pining for years.

Universal search.

I've got a lot of milage out of my Apple TV over the last couple of years. As long as I can use my existing iTunes collection I'm good!
