Apple’s next big media event is on Wednesday, Sept. 9, and many Apple (AAPL) insiders are expecting the company to reveal its long-awaited Apple TV.
There have been reports of an Apple-branded smart television since last year, and the tech wunderkind had even planned to debut the new Apple TV hardware and software upgrades at the June WWDC. However, the company put off the reveal, saying it wanted to focus its resources on iOS9 development. And that’s the big hint as to what Apple may have in mind for its new television device.
