Smart TV platforms have come a long way since they were first released. The initial smart TV platform was announced by Apple in 2006 and released for public consumption in 2007. It was revolutionary. At the time, Apple TV was the only standalone console that could stream high definition video, giving it first-mover advantage. Users were able to forego a big, bulky laptop and shift their content directly to their TV sets. With due time, other companies entered this space. Take for instance, Google. Google released Google TV in attempts to compete in the realm of set top boxes, however, they were unable to obtain the same success as Apple. It took three attempts before Google was able to gain some footing with the launch of Android TV. With both Google and Apple vying in the smart TV connected devices space, there was high competition to develop something more innovative than the last. From only being able to stream content to now enabling users to view photos, play games, and even interact with a variety of apps, it is safe to say that smart TV platforms have significantly evolved over the years.
