A file reportedly discovered in the second beta of Apple's next- desktop operating system (OS X El Capitan) suggests that the company is exploring a new kind of Bluetooth enabled remote control, potentially hinting at future plans for the Apple TV set-top box. The file, called "AppleBluetoothRemote.kext," is said to contain references to a remote control with an integrated Bluetooth module, multitouch trackpad, and support for audio playback or recording. The kextextension indicates it is an OS X kernel extension, which is used to dynamically load code into the kernel. It does not appear in the first beta of OS X El Capitan, which was handed out earlier this month during the Worldwide Developers Conference. Apple is rumored to include a touchpad based remote when it eventually releases new Apple TV hardware. It is likely to be slightly thicker than the current Apple TV remote to account for the touchpad, but will retain the buttons on the current Apple TV remote (play/pause and menu button). In the latest beta of OS X El Capitan you can also find support of a 4,096-by-2,304-pixel resolution, which has led to speculation that it could reveal a new 21.5-inch iMac with Retina display. What do you think ? would you use the multitouch
bluetooth remote if it’s real ?
