Dupa esecul primului model al Apple TV, putini se asteptau ca Apple sa lanseze o noua versiune a acestui dispozitiv si mult mai putini se asteptau ca Apple TV 2G sa aiba un succes atat de mare. In luna octombrie Apple a reusit sa vanda peste 250.000 de astfel de dispozitive si acum compania a anuntat ca se asteapta ca pana la sfarsitul acestei saptamani sa atinga cifra de 1 milion de dispozitive vandute.
Principalele atuuri ale Apple TV 2G sunt pretul de 99$ dar si versatilitatea produsului, adica faptul ca ruleaza iOS si permite jailbreak-ul si modificarea sistemului astfel incat sa permita anumite functii care in mod nativ nu ar fi fost disponibile. Aplicatii care permit navigarea pe web folosind Apple TV 2G sau aplicatii care permit deschiderea de clipuri video prin folosirea unui simplu link sunt functii care ii motiveaza pe multi sa cumpere acest produs. Apple a dat lovitura cu acest model al Apple TV si probabil anul viitor vom vedea o versiune noua mult imbunatatita.
