hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and today Apple released TV OS 13 for the
fourth generation and the 4k versions of the Apple TV this is available now you
can just check your software updates and you'll be able to install it and it has
some really nice interface changes and some really subtle changes as well so
let's go ahead and take a look now the first thing is we have new screen savers
and you can just swipe through them if you want to look at what they are and
they give you some overviews and then tell you where they're located so this
parts really nice they've got some new ones as well that are underwater we'll
look at those in just a moment but the interface is largely redesigned we have
some favorites here at the top and as we scroll through them you'll see that
they're full screen in the background so if we go to Amazon Prime video you'll
see it it's behind everything and it looks really nice now some apps like
Netflix so far don't seem to support that at least in the main interface
they'll just need to update to see that but as you go through the different
applications they fill the back screen so it just looks a little bit nicer now
if we go down you'll see that there's a new apple arcade app an apple arcade may
or may not be available for you but I did an overview the other day on my
channel and if you'd like to see what that's all about
I'll link it in the description below but there's over a hundred games for
$4.99 a month and with that you get support for ps4 and Xbox one s and Xbox
one X controllers so you can use those controllers to control your Apple TV
play games with it and it becomes a small console that you can play a ton of
games on now there's a new control center and you access that by holding
the TV button on the remote and in the control center you now have multiple
user support so if you have multiple users sign in with their Apple ID under
settings you can switch between them and it remembers their preferences
everything from Apple music to the TV shows that they watch and movies so
maybe one family member likes Marvel movies the other family member likes
everything from sports to Game of Thrones those will show up you also have
the option to sleep you can see what was recently playing in music or movies you
can airplay or air air plate to different devices as you can see here
and then if we go back into the control center here and finally we have
search on the right at the bottom now you can search here or you can just hold
the microphone button on the remote to do the same thing now there's a new
update to photos that makes it more similar to what we have with iOS their
team if we go into photos we have photos memories shared in albums across the top
if we go into one of the memories you'll see that this is some of the video I've
taken for one of my videos on the iPhone 10 R so you'll see this is pretty nice
you can just go through your photos play a little slideshow here at the top now
music gets an update as well so if we go into music here you'll see the interface
is a little bit different and it has my initials in the upper left for the user
I'm using and then if we go down to let's just play an album and I'll show
you what I mean if you go into an album you'll see it looks a little bit
different and then let's play a song here I won't play the audio so you can
see what this looks like but you'll see there's lyrics on the right here and I
can go through them and just jump through any of the lyrics and it will
jump to that part in the song and then it will actually follow what the song is
singing at the same time so it's a really nice feature and it's something I
really enjoy on the iPhone I'm not sure how much I'd use it on the TV but it's
there if you want to use it now let's go home here if we go into settings and
then we go to general and then we go to screensaver we have an option for
different types so if we go into type you'll see there's Ariel Apple Photos
Home Sharing music library and my photos now there
used to be underwater and I'm not sure where those have gone but maybe they've
delayed them I'm not sure at this particular point now if we go into the
Apple TV app you'll see it's a little bit redesigned as well we have that same
menu across the top on every single app and overall it just looks pretty good
and it's easy to read everything it's everything's just very clear now
now one of the new features if you're in the Apple TV app if you go into a movie
and then you play the movie what you get is the option for picture-in-picture so
now all you have to do is tap the touchpad on the controller and you
the option for picture-in-picture you can also move the picture around the
display so you want to move it from corner to corner you can do that or you
can expand it back out again and that's really it for TV OS 13 there's not
really a whole lot of other changes maybe we'll see a new one in the future
but I think they're nice changes and it worked well before now it works even
better you'll see all of the interface again it's changed a little bit it looks
really nice and it's loading a little bit slow for some reason but overall I
think it's a nicer experience than it was before also a little tip if you're
not familiar with this if you press and hold the play/pause button wait for it
to show up here we can quickly switch between maybe air pods if you're using
air pods or your Apple TV or maybe a different computer you want to stream -
or even a home pod as well for the audio so if you had two home pod speakers you
could stream to that and it could be a nice experience watching a movie with
that if you don't have a sound bar or a surround sound with a subwoofer that's
it for TV OS let me know what you think about it in the comments below
