This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs, identifiers, and global prices on the now shipping Apple TV 4; additional benchmarks on the new iMac models; and comprehensive updates to the iPhone Q&A and iPad Q&A to cover the latest devices.
The iPhone Q&A answers "How fast are the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus compared to one another and earlier iPhone models?" and "What are the differences between the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, and iPhone 5s? How well does each run iOS 9?" along with dozens of other questions not only about the latest models but also about iOS 9 compatibility and performance on older ones.
The iPad Q&A answers "What are the main differences between the current iPad Air and iPad mini models? Which should I buy?" and "How do you print directly from an iPad without transferring files to a computer first? Is it possible?" in addition to many other questions about the iPad mini 4 and all earlier devices.
Additionally, EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup has been updated with additional identifiers for the latest iPhone, iPad, iMac, and Apple TV models -- as well as other Apple Macs and devices -- from hands-on inspection and submissions by helpful readers. Thank you very much to those who contributed info from recent purchases. It's appreciated always.
For those interested in saving money on a new Apple TV (or a new iPad or iMac), site sponsor PowerMax has the latest models free of sales tax and with free shipping.
If you bought, or buy, a new Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iMac, please send in its serial number. Non-personal information will be added to EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup to help with model identification and differentiation. Thank you.
