Starting with the second generation, the Apple TV moved to an ARM-based platform running iOS. Like other iOS devices, the Apple TV 2 was eventually jailbroken and could run third party applications. In 2011 Kodi was ported to iOS, making the Apple TV 2 the first officially supported ARM device for XBMC, and broke the $100 barrier for new Kodi hardware. While today there are many more low-powered/ARM devices that can also run Kodi (mainly Android based), the Apple TV 2 still runs the latest Kodi builds.

To date, the Apple TV 3 (1080 version) has not been jailbroken yet.
