Apple TV users, listen up! Apple is cooking up some cool new features that’ll hit your screens early next year. With tvOS 18.3 just around the corner, let’s dive into what you can expect from this exciting update.
Robot Vacuums Join the Smart Home Party
Finally, your robot vacuum can feel like part of the family! Apple’s Home app is stepping up to support robot vacuums. You can control power, switch between cleaning modes, check the mop or vacuum status, and even track charging.
What’s more? These little helpers can now be added to automations and scenes. Imagine telling Siri to “spot-clean the living room” — yup, it’s that easy!
Snoopy Screensavers Are Here (With More on the Way?)
Apple just dropped Snoopy-themed screensavers with tvOS 18.2, and they’re adorable. But wait, there’s more! A “TV and Movies” screensaver option was teased earlier this year, featuring clips from hit shows like Foundation.
Here’s the twist: references to these new screensavers (including “Soundscapes”) have mysteriously disappeared from beta code. Is Apple taking time to perfect them, or scrapping the idea altogether? Time will tell.
Digital Sales Notice: What You Should Know
There’s a new notice coming to the Apple TV app about digital purchases. Bought a movie or show? You’ll be able to download it to your iPhone, iPad, or Mac for offline viewing.
But heads up — downloads aren’t supported on your Apple TV, smart TV, or other streaming devices. You’ll still need to grab them on a compatible device.
When’s It Dropping?
The first tvOS 18.3 beta is set to drop in late January. Get ready to explore exciting upgrades and fresh features that’ll take your Apple TV experience to the next level!
Final Words
Apple sure knows how to keep the excitement alive! While some features are still under wraps, one thing’s clear — Apple TV is getting cooler and smarter. Keep your eyes peeled; the best updates are just around the corner!
