What’s new for Apple TV in tvOS 18.3
Apple on Monday seeded the first tvOS 18.3 beta to developers for testing. The update will likely be released in January.
Joe Rossignol for MacRumors:
tvOS 18.3 will add robot vacuum support to the Home app on the Apple TV, based on code-level references to the feature in the first beta… Likewise, the iOS 18.3 beta will add robot vacuum support to the Home app on the iPhone.
Apple was planning at least two additional screen saver categories for the Apple TV. The first was a “TV and Movies” category of screen savers based on content from Apple TV+ series and movies, and the second was a “Soundscapes” category of screen savers overlaid with relaxing background sounds, including water and nature sounds.
MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris has confirmed that hidden references to the “TV and Movies” and “Soundscapes” screen saver categories that were in tvOS 18.2 code are no longer present in the first tvOS 18.3 beta’s code.
