Apple TV app changes pave the way for better gaming
Up until now the limit was 200 MB, but apps can now be as large 4GB, the same as for iOS devices. The change should provide a "complete, rich user experience upon installation," Apple says, noting that as before, apps can host up to 20GB of additional content from the App Store.
As developer Steve Troughton-Smith points out, apps that large are generally games, so future Apple TV models might soon be more console-like. "Fun thought: If Apple TV gets a modern A-series CPU/GPU upgrade [like the A10 fusion chip used in the iPhone 7], it'll be more powerful than one of the 'real' games consoles in the market," he tweeted, referring to Nintendo's new Switch.
