Meet the new Apple TV. It’s a lot like the Apple TVs of old in that it does not feature a traditional iOS interface centering around apps: it’s still all about content consumption.

The big update comes in the form of higher resolution videos. The updated UI sports a 1080p interface and movies can now be purchased from iTunes in that resolution as well.

iCloud is also a big part of the new Apple TV and works in a similar manner as other Apple devices. Photos can be accessed in a Photo Stream and iTunes playlists are available from the cloud as well. The new 1080p interface should make for gorgeous photo viewing.

The new Apple TV is available for ordering today and ships next week. It’s still only $99.
