The updated Apple TV is making use of some of the features that many Apple users already love, like having Siri help find information for them. One of the best parts of the upgraded version is that the TV remote isn’t the only device that can connect wirelessly to the box.
Bring on the Bluetooth
Bluetooth users will be happy to hear that the new Apple TV supports Bluetooth so that they can connect new devices to it. For instance, when parents get tired of hearing the video game blasting, those Bluetooth headphones are going to come in pretty handy. On the other hand, when the parents aren’t home, why not connect a wireless speaker and turn the room into a virtual reality zone?
Night Mode
Speaking of volume, Night Mode is a new feature that is going to put an end to late night frustrations. When the rest of the house is trying to sleep, but you want to watch a movie, Night Mode lets you turn down the background noise so you can still hear what’s being said, but you aren’t overwhelming the house with the background sounds.
Accessibility
Apple TV takes accessibility to a whole other level with the ability to reduce motion, and add audio descriptions and bold text, as well as being able to increase the contrast. All of these features come together to make viewing easier for those who struggle with it.
Siri
As convenient as a remote control may be, the potential benefits of Siri are what will really set Apple TV apart from the competition. For now, you can do basic things with Siri, but Apple is constantly looking at ways to upgrade the software technology, now that the updated Apple TV has completely revamped hardware.
