One of the biggest contributions of the tvOS is that it brings support for Siri and the App Store to the Apple TV.
While all of those developments are welcome additions, there’s one Apple TV feature that truly makes the viewing experience a lot easier and more convenient.
The Apple TV has a built in App Store much like the iOS devices.
The free charts top five are Nat Geo TV, Fox Now, Showtime, History, and CBS – all strong media offerings for streaming shows. The sensors allow users to turn the remote into a controller for playing games.
Those who have the earlier versions of Apple TV had to use third-party apps to be able to use Plex.
It basically provides you with a computer under your TV. You can press this to do several actions depending where you are and how you press it.
The new application is expected to be the result of Apple’s purchase of WifiSLAM in 2013.
Apple updated the way text entry takes place.
Another new first is the appearance of the App Store. The app also adds artwork from the music, TV shows and movies on offer.
These are just a few tips to get you rolling with your new Apple TV.
Apple has launched an app to allow people to map out a place’s interior, and it did so mostly without telling anyone.
Press Play/Pause on the Keyboard – Use this to switch between uppercase and lower case.
Press When Editing Apps – Press this button when in app edit mode to delete an app.
Apple doesn’t have the best track record with mapping technology.
Smartphone screens have been touch sensitive for many years, but Apple’s latest smartphones are also pressure sensitive, so they can tell how hard the user is pressing on them. Swipe to navigate to whatever app you want to move.
Press and Hold on Keyboard – See capital letters, accents and a backspace.
The app could be a part of Apple’s plans for MapsConnect.
