Apple releases iTunes 10.6

While we've already heard about Apple's new iPad and Apple TV, a few more things are trickling out after the event that just wrapped up in California. Along with iOS 5.1 and the new iPhoto for iPad, Apple will also launch iTunes 10.6 this afternoon.

There's no word on new features, but it will of course feature support for iOS 5.1...

New Apple TV interface will be available for existing Apple TV’s via software update

Feeling a little blue about the Apple TV refresh now that you see it got a nice new interface along with 1080p? Don't fret, current Apple TV owners will be able to bask in the glory of that new interface as well via a software update later today.

Of course, if you're an Apple TV jailbreaker we advise you to hold off on updating if you want to maintain your jailbreak, but we have to admit it will be mighty hard not to give into the curiosity of the new UI update.

New Apple TV announced with new interface and 1080p support

As expected, Tim Cook just announced a new Apple TV with a brand new UI and 1080p support in tow.

The rumors have been swirling about the Apple TV refresh for some time now, and they ultimately proved to be true.

With the new Apple TV comes 1080p support for iTunes in the Cloud, which means you can re-download all of your purchased content in 1080p for free.

The Apple Store is down

As always prior to a huge event like this, Apple has taken their online store offline in order to update it with new products.

While Apple has not come forth and said what they will be unveiling today (and they never do), the iPad refresh is in the cards along with an updated Apple TV.

No one's 100% sure what the arrangements will be when the store comes back online, but various reports state that the Apple TV will be available for immediate purchase...

A new $99 Apple TV tomorrow?

Tomorrow's event won't be exclusively about the iPad 3, as 9to5Mac confirms what we've heard before about an Apple TV refresh:

We’ve gotten a few more tidbits about tomorrow’s Apple TV announcement (Oh, there will be a new iPad too!). The Apple TV J33 model, MD199LL/A – J33 BEST -USA, which we’ve covered before will come in at the same $99 price point (and similar prices globally). We know from previous reports that it will have updated hardware internally including Bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom chip as well as a higher powered processor capable of 1080P video.

This is definitely not a surprise. As a matter of fact, we dedicated a whole section of our predictions for tomorrow's event about the Apple TV.

9to5Mac also mentions a mystery accessory that would be available for $39. It likely is a dock, cable, or maybe a new remote. All those questions will be answered tomorrow, so make sure to tune in to iDB for the full coverage.

Steve Jobs biographer admits he left out details about Apple TV set

When Walter Isaacson released his biography on Steve Jobs last fall, we were able to get a few tidbits on Steve Jobs' vision for the next Apple TV set. It was said that Apple's late co-founder had "finally cracked" the code to create the television everyone has been waiting for.

Isaacson recently sat down with a Portuguese TV network to talk about his latest biography. As noted by The Next Web, Issacson revealed he left out several details Steve Jobs gave about the company's next Apple TV...

Apple looking to launch subscription TV service by year’s end

The New York Post is reporting today that Apple is pushing ahead with plans to launch its own subscription TV service. The publication claims that Apple is looking to roll out the service by Christmas this year, despite serious push-back from major content providers.

We've been hearing rumors that Apple was working on its own streaming video service for over a year now, but this seems like one of the first times we've heard the news from a major outlet...

Apple TV to be “the biggest thing in consumer electronics since the smartphone”

Even though we have a pretty good feeling that Apple is going to unveil its third ATV set top box next week, gossip is still bouncing around about Apple's full-scale television. We've been hearing rumors of an Apple TV set for several months now.

A lot of the chatter can be traced back to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. The firm's resident Apple expert has been the device's biggest proponent up to this point, and now he's back with some new information...

New Apple TV shipping March 8th?

Rumors have been circling around over the past few weeks that a new Apple TV is on its way from Apple. Specifically, a report indicated that the third-generation Apple TV will be announced at Apple's media event in California, March 7th.

Today, that rumor seems to gain credibility as MacTrast discovered perhaps the shipping date for the new Apple TV, leaked unintentionally by Apple on its website. While trying to order a new Apple TV, the publication found that the current generation is out of stock, and the earliest shipping date for is March 8th...
