The newApple TV 4Kwas released just over a week ago. The updated third generation ofApple’s media streamer gets the same A15 Bionic chip found in theiPhone 14andiPhone 14 Plus, doing away with the need for a cooling fan. That reduces noise and case dimensions. There’s also updated support for HDR10+ video.
Now, another brilliant update looks set to make its way to the platform. Twitter user and self-proclaimedApple TVaficionado,Sigmund Judge, has shared a handful of screenshots from a developer beta of tvOS 16.2, showing off a new feature called Recognise My Voice.
It’s a feature that is already present in theApple HomePodrange, enabling users to receive personalised playlists when they ask Siri to play music, for example. Adding it to Apple TV seems like a sensible next step for Apple’s smart home offering.
I hope it features parental controls. I can just imagine a kid asking Siri for dragons and being met with an episode ofGame of Thrones. In theory, they should have their own voice recognition data, so it should be possible to block. Parental controls are already present on thebest streaming services, such asNetflixandDisney Plus, so this should be an easy feature to include.
So, can you install this now? Not quite. At the moment, the updates seen in Judge’s tweet are part of the developer beta. That means it’s not available to the general public just yet. Judge said in a latertweetthat the ETA was November, but this is unconfirmed.
When it does get released, though, Apple TV users are in for a much better experience.
