Apple website refresh sparks TV update rumours After a brief outage last night, which is a common occurrence prior to the appearance of new devices, visitors to Apple's online shop now see "Shop Apple TV" given equal prominence to Macs, iPads, iPhones and iPods. Website 9to5Mac reports that Apple has been working on combining the TV and AirPort Express products, and that gaming will be a new focus for the updated model with existing iPhones, iPads and iPods being used as controllers. It is also thought that a new Apple TV could use the same A7 chip found in the iPad Air, which would mean it had enough power to run games at HD resolution on televisions. Apple has also bought the Israeli start-up PrimeSense for $360m in November, leading some to suggest that gesture-recognition technology could be incorporated into a new Apple TV. Apple originally launched the TV in March 2007 with a 40GB hard disk, with a second generation device around a quarter of the size replacing it in 2010. The third generation launched in January 2012. There are also suggestions that Apple's iTunes Radio service will be coming to the UK soon, as some iPhone users have reported that they have access to the service. The music service launched in the US in June as an ad-supported, free way for users to listen to any track that is offered for sale on iTunes. So far it has not launched outside of the US, but reports from Bloomberg suggest the company is working on licensing deals with music labels that would allow it to launch in the UK.
