Apple unveiled its latest iteration of Apple TV this week to much fanfare, however this current version of Apple TV may face a far more challenging market than its predecessors. Previous versions had difficulties gaining significant traction with the public, and according to Paul Erickson, Senior Analyst at IMS Research, the new and improved Apple TV may encounter a similar fate.

Apple has struggled with Apple TV’s appeal to consumers. The newest version debuted with a sub-$100 price, a smaller form factor, a move to streaming-only, and the addition of YouTube, Netflix, and Flickr access to what was primarily an iTunes-based device. According to Erickson, this might not be enough: “Today’s competitors are the devices that are already in, or going into consumer households – Blu-ray Disc players, game consoles, and connected TVs. These devices already integrate similar access to paid and free content. Of these, the most dangerous competitors are game consoles and BD players – both of which arguably trump Apple TV in terms of must-buy priority for consumers.” Erickson also cites the following potential disruptors to the Apple TV strategy.

The number of people who watch broadcast TV programming on the Internet has doubled in the last year, according to a new survey by Altman Vilandrie & Company and Peanut Labs. Despite this growth, clear opportunities exist for cable and satellite providers to grow through smart integration of new technologies like mobile and 3D video, the study found.

"While the study shows the rumblings of seismic shift in consumer video preferences, there are clear opportunities for cable and satellite providers to differentiate versus online video alternatives," said Altman Vilandrie & Company Director Jonathan Hurd, who oversaw the research and analysis. "Providers that can be nimble in adopting mobile video, 3D and other innovations will stem potential defections, especially among younger consumers."
