It has been more than three years since Apple introduced the fifth-generation Apple TV with support for 4K video, but according to Bloomberg, the company has big plans for the future of the product line. Citing people with knowledge of Apple's plans, Bloomberg reports that the iPhone maker is currently working on a new smart-home device that would combine an Apple TV with a HomePod smart speaker, plus a built-in camera for video conferencing.
The upgraded Apple TV would have all of the same capabilities as older models, from streaming video to downloading apps to playing games, but it would also serve as a standalone smart speaker that could play music and even answer questions via Apple's Siri virtual assistant. It would give Apple the opportunity to compete more readily in a category that it has struggled to dominate in the same way that it has with its smartphones and wearables.
