Apple works on a dongle like chromecast

Chromecast has become a great success for Google. Thanks to this dongle, any television can be converted into a Smart TV. If we also add its low price, it is not a surprise that it was a success. Amazon has also joined with its Fire TV, but they are not the only ones. Because Apple is also working on its own dongle.

In part it should come as no surprise, because the Cupertino company is expected to launch its own streaming platform next year. So this device would be a way to give access to it.

Apple's Chromecast

It seems that Apple has been inspired by the design we see in models such as Chromecast and Fire TV. The firm will launch a device of reduced size, which will be connected to the TV via HDMI, and which also has WiFi. What will allow users to access applications, games and streaming content. Nothing is known about the functions or content that can be accessed.

Nor have many details about the price come out. Knowing the company, and seeing the rise in prices of its products this year, we do not expect something cheap. There are media that point to it would be around $ 99.

This is a higher price than competitors like Chromecast. So it will be necessary to see what Apple offers with this dongle, because the competition is established in the market. According to rumors, its market launch would take place in the second quarter of 2019.
