As well as launching a wide variety of different hardware this week, Apple has also rolled out a new incremental update to its Apple TV operating system, making available the Apple TV tvOS 12.1 update. While tvOS 12.1 doesn’t add any new features, the previous update, tvOS 12, added plenty. Check out the video below to learn more about the 20+ new features available in tvOS 12.
New Features in tvOS 12
“Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR — and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos.1 It streams your favorite channels live. Has great content from apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN.2 And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.”
The tvOS 12 update brought a host of new features that significantly enhance the user experience. One of the most notable additions is the support for Dolby Atmos, which provides an immersive audio experience that complements the stunning 4K HDR visuals. This makes watching movies and TV shows on Apple TV 4K a truly cinematic experience.
Another significant feature introduced in tvOS 12 is the Zero Sign-On capability. This feature allows users to automatically sign in to apps that are part of their TV subscription without needing to enter credentials. This is a step up from the Single Sign-On feature and makes accessing content even more seamless.
Enhanced User Experience
The update also brought improvements to the Aerial screensavers, which now include stunning views from space captured by NASA. These screensavers are not just visually appealing but also informative, as users can tap on the Siri Remote to learn more about the location being displayed.
Additionally, tvOS 12 introduced new password autofill capabilities, making it easier to log into apps using passwords stored on your iOS devices. This feature is particularly useful for those who use complex passwords and want to avoid the hassle of typing them out on the Apple TV.
