The back is made from aluminum - like the old one - but the Siri Remote is quite different. There is also a new 'Siri Remote' with a touchpad on the top, six buttons, including volume controls. The HDMI port now supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which is a great addition that we will elaborate on later.

The Apple TV box can now output audio via HDMI or wirelessly via Airplay. We have often seen Apple abandon old but established technologies (see floppy disc, DVD drive) to replace it with something else. Apple has apparently felt that it is time to move on.

Toslink was developed by Toshiba in 1983 and even though it is still a popular port it does not support many of the new audio formats. Ports are found on the back and if you own the previous version you will notice that there is no longer an optical - or Toslink - port. There is still no power brick - everything is built into the small 9.8x9.8 cm box that is completely quiet in operation. It has the same glossy body and with an embedded Apple logo on the top. First impressionsThe new Apple TV looks a lot like the old Apple TV except that it is taller.
