Everything Apple announced at WWDC 2019
Apple’s big WWDC keynote is over, and the tech giant had a lot to say in its over-two-hour presentation. If, however, you don’t have time to sit through the whole thing and want to catch up quickly, here’s a summary of the highlights.
tvOS
Apple kicked off the conference by talking about updates to tvOS, which runs on its Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K products. It was recently given a refresh with the new TV app (see page 75), and now Apple is giving us a look at how the entire operating system will change in the autumn.
New home screen: The Apple TV home screen will now play full-screen preview video that suggests content you may want to watch.
Multi-user support: You can add multiple users to your Apple TV and they’ll each get their own personalized suggestions and use their own Apple Music playlists and recommendations.
Control Centre: A new Control Centre slides in from the right side of the screen, giving you quick access to changing users, lets you dim the display, and more.
Lyrics in sync with Apple Music: Apple Music’s lyrics now sync up with the song. Perfect for karaoke night.
Game controller support: Apple TV will support the Xbox One controller (newer models with Bluetooth) and the PS4 DualShock controller. This support is coming to iPhone and iPad, too.
Undersea screen savers: Apple partnered with the BBC’s Natural History Unit to shoot 4K HDR underwater footage to make new screen savers.
