Here are step by step instructions on how to connect your wireless bluetooth headphones or speakers to the new Apple TV 4.
One of the great things about Apple's customer facing website is the length of effort and detail that is put into the product pages for individual device. Not only do the pages for the iPad Air 2, or the iPhone 6s for example, show high-resolution beautiful gallery images of the hardware, but they also go into a fair amount of detail on the included technical specifications so consumers know exactly what they are getting. It's rare that information on this page changes, after all, a specification is a specification, but at some point in the last two weeks Apple has silent updated the Bluetooth specification against a number of iOS devices.
Apple's recent dedicated media event at the iconic Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco introduced the world to a number of new products. As you'd expect, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have managed to garner the majority of the media and public attention, and rightly so. But let us not forget the powerful new Apple TV that was introduced, bringing with it a renewed focus on mobile gaming and apps for the TV. Now, thanks to a little digging into the new set-top-box, it's been discovered that the new Bluetooth integration within the box extends beyond what was initially thought.
We've seen and heard about Bluetooth 4.0 and 4.1 for a while now, but an updated 4.2 version has been announced. The announcement comes in from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) and as expected, will be introducing a host of new features alongside speed and privacy enhancements to the existing technology.
Bluetooth, it is fair to say, isn't too heavily lauded at consumer level. In fact, I'd hazard that many presume Bluetooth as a piece of technology that has remained the same since it first made its way to market - allowing us to wirelessly connect two, or multiple devices and or accessories to one another and beam content around at will. The fact is, Bluetooth is being improved and upgraded at arguably a faster rate than anything else, and with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) having offered better performance while sparing battery life with Bluetooth 4.0, the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) announced the forthcoming Bluetooth 4.1 standard, as well as some of the changes therein.
Driving comes with enough possible distractions without throwing a smartphone into the equation, but unless you turn the thing off then there's a pretty good possibility that you'll get a few alerts through when you're driving. With Twitter, Facebook and other apps constantly pushing alerts to us alongside good old fashioned text messages and phone calls, there's never any shortage of things trying to grab our attention. When you're behind the wheel though, it's not the kind of thing you want!
