According to new references found in the iOS 5 code, Apple's next Apple TV set-top box will likely add a dual-core A5 processor and 1080p support for the first time.
The A5 processor was just introduced for the new iPhone 4S and has been in the iPad 2 since the Spring.
Currently, the Apple TV is model 2,1, says VB, while the software refers to 3,1.
Thanks to the new processor, 1080p playback will finally be supported as the A4 could only handle up to 720p.
A new Apple TV wouldn't be expected until 2012.
