Chromecast has become a great success for Google. With this dongle, any TV can be turned into a Smart TV. If we additionally consider its low price, it’s not surprising that it was a great success. Amazon has also teamed up with its Fire TV, but they’re not the only ones. Because Apple is also working on its own dongle.
For many, it should not be a surprise, because Cupertino’s company is expected to introduce its own streaming platform next year. In this sense, this device would be a way to grant access to its streaming data directly.
It seems Apple was inspired by the design we see in models like Chromecast and Fire TV. The company will launch a small device that will connect via HDMI to the TV, which also has WiFi. In this way, users can access applications, games and streaming content. However, there is nothing known about the features or content that can be accessed.
Also, the details about the price are also in the same way. As if you know that company and see the increase in prices for its products this year, then you should not expect it to be cheap. There are media reports that it would be about 99 dollars.
This is a higher price than competitors like Chromecast. So we’ll have to see what Apple’s Chromecast will offer us with this dongle because the competition is really high in the market. There are rumors that it will be launched in the second quarter of 2019.
