Only weeks after Apple began offering a limited selection of movies in the South African iTunes Store, Apple distributor Core Group has said it will begin selling the Apple TV set-top box from Friday, 18 January 2013 at a recommended retail price of R1 099.
The move could be a precursor to the launch of more content in the local iTunes Store, possibly including television shows, which have been available in markets such as the US for some time. For now, though, the selection of content available to South Africans remains limited, reports NewsCentral Media.
The Apple TV set-top box, which uses broadband connections to stream content onto connected TVs, will be available at Makro, Incredible Connection, Dion Wired, Hi-Fi Corp, Digicape and iStore outlets.
