New features are coming to your Apple TV devices as Apple announces the launch of tvOS 18 during the 2024 WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC). Major enhancements are to be expected in this latest update. Let’s check out what’s new in tvOS 18.
Upcoming Features on Apple TV tvOS 18 Release
Let’s unveil the new improvements of Apple TV’s Enhance Dialogue feature. While the function itself came with the iOS 17, the giant tech company promises a smarter version. Enhance Dialogue separates the dialogue from the background noise for better audio experience. The improved feature will have a greater vocal clarity, plus compatibility with more devices.
Another notable enhancement is InSight, where users can get expanded information of the characters, actors and the background music of a scene. With a tap on their Siri remote or access to a connected iPhone, they can instantly view these added data. Apple also integrated the Apple Music to the feature, allowing users to immediately add the background music to their Apple Music account.
Apple also revealed further user engagement of users with smart subtitles. Subtitles will appear when you skip or rewind or mute the volume. If characters speak in a different language not matching the device language, it automatically turns on the subtitles.
Support for 21:9 projectors is also part of the package. Users can now enjoy widescreen movies whenever they binge-watch their favorite TV shows.
Lastly, enjoy new screen savers featuring Snoopy and Woodstock as well as other delightful scenes from TV shows and movies.Â
