Apple Sets September 9 Media Event

August 27, 2015

Apple could use some fresh ammo in the OTT streaming device department. While Apple has shipped more than 25 Apple TV units without making any big adjustments to the platform in recent years but managed to add services such as HBO Now and the new Showtime standalone OTT service, it has fallen behind rivals. According to Parks Associates, Roku led the way with 34% of the streaming device market in 2014, followed by the Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and the Apple TV. Apple will also have to contend with Android TV, Google's new OS for smart TVs, streamers and other connected TV devices.
