New Apple TV 4K UK release date is TODAY! Price, app and remote details, and features for the HDR device
IN September 2017 Apple announced an update to its streaming box, the Apple TV, introducing 4K and high dynamic range (HDR) support for the first time.
The technology greatly increases picture quality and the appearance of colours on screen, and will also support 4K content from the likes of Netflix and Amazon - and it's out TODAY (September 22).
How much will the Apple TV 4K cost and when will it be released?
The Apple TV 4K will be available in two models with different storage sizes.
The Californian firm unleashed the brand new product at a glittering ceremony held in its new "spaceship" headquarters.
The 32GB version will cost £179 and the 64GB will cost £199.
They will be available in stores or delivered to people's homes TODAY (September 22).
The new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as the latest Apple watch will also be available on the same day.
What are the features of the Apple TV?
The new version of the Apple TV streaming device will be able to show video with sharper "4K" resolution which is a step up from standard high definition.
It also uses a colour-improvement technology called high dynamic range.
Many rival devices already offer these features.
But there's not a lot of video in 4K and HDR yet, nor are there many TVs that can display it.
Apple says it's been working with movie studios to bring titles with 4K and HDR to its iTunes store.
They will be sold at the same prices as high-definition video, which tends to be a few dollars more than standard-definition versions.
Apple says it's working with Netflix and Amazon Prime to bring their 4K original programs to Apple TV, too.
