In the past, although Apple TV was able to install applications, the relative limitations were relatively large. However, with the debut of the new generation of tvOS and Apple TV, there was more room for application on the Apple TV platform. According to foreign media reports, in order to facilitate users to better choose applications, Apple recently updated the App Store on Apple TV, support developers to upload the use of the application video, in order to cooperate with the screenshot to provide users with better The reference.
In fact, as early as 2014, Apple added a video preview function to the iOS platform's App Store, so this update can only be considered as a minor improvement to the tvOS platform. However, it is somewhat puzzling that the Mac version of the App Store currently only supports the addition of application screenshots and cannot upload preview videos.
Of course, even if the video preview function is added, the application developers need to actively upload application usage videos. Therefore, if the user wants to see the actual application effects of more applications before downloading, it will take time.
And this is Apple's second minor update to the new Apple TV this month. Earlier this month, Apple added global search to Apple TV through software updates, as well as three content channels, Fox Now, FX Now, and National Geographic.
In addition to these minor updates, the more-updated tvOS 9.2 is currently in beta testing and is expected to be officially launched later this year. From the current beta version, tvOS 9.2 will add dictation, application drawers will also improve, and Siri will support more languages.
In addition, according to previous comments from Apple executives Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi, Apple is currently developing the iOS version of the Apple TV remote control application, and can be a full replacement of the Apple TV's remote control in terms of functionality, and even includes Siri and touchpad. Other functions can also be used as a game controller for multiplayer games, and people are very much looking forward to it.
