In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple TV to Gain Game Support With Bluetooth Controllers By March
The Apple TV could be getting long-awaited game support in an upcoming software update, according to a report from iLounge. It could include Bluetooth controller support and an Apple TV-based App Store.
Steve Jobs himself said an App Store for the Apple TV was a possibility "when the time is right" in an interview in 2010. Apple and third-party hardware makers recently began shipping iOS 7 game controllers for iPhones, but they have been poorly received because of build quality issues and high price tags.
iLounge has shared fairly accurate information on Apple's product plans several times in the past, suggesting it does indeed have reliable sources with access to Apple's supply chain.
iLounge has heard from reliable industry sources that Apple TV will soon be getting proper game support in an update, likely to come in March or earlier. We’ve heard that developers are currently working on Bluetooth controller options, and it’s expected that games could be downloaded directly to the Apple TV rather than relying on another iOS device as an intermediary.Turning the Apple TV into a game console-type device with an App Store has long been expected, with rumors dating back years suggesting that such a feature was in the works. MG Siegler wrote last year that Apple appeared to be moving closer to leveraging the Apple TV for television gaming.

Personally, I'm excited for the dozen new incarnations of Angry Birds we'll see. :p

This would call for an Apple Media event no doubt. With new information available for developers at WWDC.
Genius move. Make the hardware developers create the controllers and the app developers create the games while Apple reaps the benefits. It's actually a win win for everyone; consumers, developers and Apple!

Doesn't the current AppleTV only have like 8GB of storage?
I'd first like to see a 4th gen with 16GB+ of storage with access to an expansive App Store before being concerned with bluetooth controller support.
And, uh, native Plex app of course. I need that in my life.
//yes I know about PlexConnect

New hardware for this for sure but are they really going to break the $99 price model to have models with different storage options? hmmm...
Game streaming idea sounds like a promising alternative.
No storage issues to worry about, just purchase and play from the cloud, the game could be loaded into the internal memory on the fly while you play as the Xbox One does.

I only really buy the rumor if there's a new Apple TV model. Can't see it happening on the current version, not enough space, A5 processor.

You get what you pay for.
At freemium to $5 app pricepoints, you're never gonna see the Last of Us or GTA 5 on an Apple TV no matter how premium the hardware is. Not until 10 years later as a retro port.
Nonsense: Real Racing 3 and there are several other examples of that.

Long-awaited good news. Please let this rumor finally pan out!
I see all these new game controllers for iOS devices and shake my head. But for a big-screen gaming experience, they make a lot more sense.
