It's likely that the version of "Minecraft" showing up on Apple TV - which Apple CEO Tim Cook says will be available by the end of 2016 - will be the "Pocket Edition" that's already available on phones and tablets.

Apple didn't offer a price, or a specific release date, but the version available on iOS right now costs $6.99.
