Apple has announced the all-new Apple TV, bringing a revolutionary experience to the living room based on apps built for the television. Apps on Apple TV let you choose what to watch and when you watch it. And with the new Siri Remote, you can search with your voice for TV shows and movies across multiple content providers simultaneously. Apple TV runs the all-new tvOS operating system, based on Apple’s iOS, enabling iOS developers to create new apps and games specifically for Apple TV and deliver them directly to users through the new Apple TV App Store. “There has been so much innovation in entertainment and programming through iOS apps, we want to bring that same excitement to the television,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “Apps make the TV experience even more compelling for viewers and we think apps represent the future of TV.”

Apple has updated the entire iMac family, bringing a new Retina 4K display to the 21.5-inch iMac for the first time and the Retina 5K display to every 27-inch iMac. The updated iMacs also feature more powerful processors and graphics, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, and new storage options that make the high-performance Fusion Drive even more affordable. Apple also introduced a new lineup of wireless accessories including the all-new Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, and Magic Trackpad 2. “From the first iMac to today, the spirit of iMac has never wavered — deliver the ultimate desktop experience with the latest technologies, gorgeous displays, and cutting-edge designs,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “These are the most stunning iMacs we’ve ever made. With our gorgeous new Retina displays, more powerful processors and graphics, and all-new Magic accessories, the new iMac continues to redefine the ultimate desktop experience.”

Apple has announced that Jeff Williams has been named chief operating officer and Johny Srouji is joining Apple’s executive team as senior vice president for Hardware Technologies. Phil Schiller, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, will expand his role to include leadership of the App Store across all Apple platforms. Apple also announced that Tor Myhren will join Apple in the first calendar quarter of 2016 as vice president of Marketing Communications, reporting to CEO Tim Cook. “We are fortunate to have incredible depth and breadth of talent across Apple’s executive team. As we come to the end of the year, we’re recognizing the contributions already being made by two key executives,” said Cook. “Jeff is hands-down the best operations executive I’ve ever worked with, and Johny’s team delivers world-class silicon designs which enable new innovations in our products year after year.”

Customers around the world made this holiday season the biggest ever for the App Store, setting new records during the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s. In the two weeks ending January 3, customers spent over $1.1 billion on apps and in-app purchases, setting back-to-back weekly records for traffic and purchases. January 1 marked the biggest day in App Store history with customers spending over $144 million. “The App Store had a holiday season for the record books. We are excited that our customers downloaded and enjoyed so many incredible apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV, spending over $20 billion on the App Store last year alone,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “We’re grateful to all the developers who have created the most innovative and exciting apps in the world for our customers. We can’t wait for what’s to come in 2016.”

'Scenes of self-destruction are exhausting after a point. At nearly three hours, Kabir Singh's belligerence is too much to bear,' says Sukanya Verma.

What Readers thought of Article 15.

'You come out of the theatre feeling happy, inspired, with moist eyes and in awe.'

'As much as I appreciate this seamless show of computer graphics -- the gobsmacking detailing of its manufactured wildlife and landscapes -- there's something awkward about its authenticity.''Neither does it match the vigour of The Lion King's dramatic plot,' says Sukanya Verma.

We'll publish the best ones on Rediff.com.

Mission Mangal has its heart in place, feels Sukanya Verma.

What Rediff readers thought of Mission Mangal.

Emraan Hashmi, Sobhita Dhulipala and Vineet Kumar take us on a thrilling undercover mission in the Web series, Bard of Blood.

With such an interesting plot and fresh pairing, it's certainly a film to watch out for!

In its 13th season, the reality series -- known for getting its kicks by throwing a bunch of wayward celebrities and argumentative commoners under the same roof while numerous cameras capture their every single move -- continues its downward spiral, feels Sukanya Verma.

The Chhapaak trailer could have been a dark and depressing tale of a girl disfigured by a vicious attack but fortunately, it isn't, feels Moumita Bhattacharjee.

Poor writing sinks this period film which is watchable for Mammooty's gravity defying stunts, says Divya Nair.

Do tell us just how much you liked or hated Dabangg 3.

Dabangg 3 is the kind of indulgent rubbish that dispels the fundamentals of filmmaking to highlight its hero's virtue and vigour at any cost, sighs Sukanya Verma.

Sab Kushal Mangal is a cute film, but it is the climax that is absolutely disappointing

Bhangra Paa Le has a fairly ambitious if unoriginal premise let down by staid vision, spiritless writing, middling choreography and music, feels Sukanya Verma.

For those who like drama to have a good mix of thrills, action, fiction and realism, Rangbaaz Phir Se is an entertaining watch, feels Joginder Tuteja.

'Tanhaji has so much fun recreating a bygone legend and fictionalising history, authenticity and spellings, it gets infectious,' feels Sukanya Verma.

Tanhaji is the first of the unsung heroes series that Devgn wants to develop as a franchise. It is a great initiative and something worth subscribing to.

Panga's slice of life makes up for in its gentle depiction of everyday struggles and pleasantries, lending it a consistently warm fuzzy feeling, feels Sukanya Verma.

Anubhav Sinha's latest film is hard-hitting, relatable and sadly, very much relevant in today's times.

'A witless thriller so far removed from reality yet so consumed by its own self-seriousness, no amount of slick photography, soaring soundtrack or steady supply of conspiracy can salvage its tepid material,' notes Sukanya Verma.

<em>Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan</em> is not so much a homosexual romance as it is an exuberant appeal imploring conservative Indian parents to accept and respect their children's choices, gay or straight, notes Sukanya Verma.

Thappad aspires to be Arth-worthy. Unfortunately, it doesn't make the cut, feels Rediff reader Sumeet Nadkarni.

Irrfan, Deepak Dobriyal, Radhika Madan, Ranvir Shorey, Pankaj Tripathi are all lovely, but make little sense in Angrezi Medium's muddled context, complains Sukanya Verma.

A serial killer may be insane; a show about a serial killer need not be a celebration of his insanity.
