Apple TV Plus gets a new feature called InSight, similar to Amazon’s X-Ray. Like X-Ray, Insight, will show you the actors on the screen and even the music playing in the background, which you can add to your Apple Music Playlist.
Apple also brings Dialogue enhancements that use machine learning and will work with your speakers and receivers. Alongside this tvOS update, we’ll get new automatic subtitles when you mute your TV or skip back in time. This is a feature I personally love, as I’m almost always in need of subtitles.
tvOs will also support 21:9 projector support for those who want to connect their Apple TV to a projector.
Apple tvOS will also get new screensavers, including one with Snoopy and Woodstock floating around in space.
Alongside these new features to tvOS, Apple is working on new features for the AirPods Pro. These new functionalities include Voice Isolation on AirPods Pro so the person on the other end can hear you clearly. A new feature lets you nod yes or shake your head no to quickly interact with Siri when you don’t want to speak to the virtual assistant.
Soon, you’ll also be able to share control of music playing from your HomePod and HomePod mini by using SharePlay with Apple Music. You can easily join a SharePlay session by bringing your smartphone close to another or scan the QR code in the SharePlay Window. They can add songs to the playlist and control playback even if they don’t have an Apple Music subscription.
Another update for FaceTime brings Live Captions when you’re Face Timing from tvOS 18.
