Apple TV 4K has been a hit since its debut last fall, offering
customers the largest collection of 4K HDR movies, including free
4K HDR upgrades to previously purchased movies in customers’ iTunes
libraries. This fall, iTunes® will be home to the largest
collection of Dolby Atmos-supported movies anywhere, and these
titles will also include Dolby Atmos audio for free. With tvOS 12,
Apple TV 4K will be the only streaming player both Dolby Vision and
Dolby Atmos certified, delivering the highest quality cinematic
experience of stunning 4K HDR visuals and immersive sound that
flows all around in three-dimensional space.
Video providers around the world are choosing Apple TV 4K to
deliver their subscription services to customers. Apple today
announced that Charter Communications, the second-largest cable
operator in the US, will begin offering Apple TV 4K to their
customers. Later this year, customers in nearly 50 million
households will have access to live channels and tens of thousands
of on-demand programs via an all-new Spectrum TV app on their Apple
TV 4K, iPhone® and iPad®, seamlessly integrated with Siri® and the
Apple TV App. In addition, as part of this collaboration, Charter
will be offering iPhone and iPad to customers as they grow their
mobile presence. Charter joins AT&T’s DirecTV Now in the US,
CANAL+ in France and Salt in Switzerland, which have begun offering
their customers Apple TV 4K with their services.
The Apple TV App on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV is the single
destination to find and watch TV shows and movies from more than
100 participating video apps in 10 countries. Single sign-on for
Apple TV and iOS has allowed users to sign in once to get access to
all the video apps available through their cable subscription. With
tvOS 12, Apple further simplifies the authentication process with
zero sign-on. Apple TV simply detects the user’s broadband network
and automatically signs them in to all the supported apps they
receive through their subscription — no typing required. Zero
sign-on begins with Charter later this year and will expand to
other providers over time.
Aerial screensavers are a favorite of Apple TV users and reach
new heights with tvOS 12. Apple, in collaboration with the
International Space Station National Lab and the Center for the
Advancement of Science in Space, unveiled brand new aerials shot
from space by NASA astronauts, so Apple TV customers can enjoy even
more stunning scenes filmed in 4K HDR. Aerial screensavers will
also be more interactive, allowing viewers to see the location
information and swipe between dozens of beautiful aerials.
Additional tvOS 12 features for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV 4th
generation make it even easier for customers to access the shows
and movies they love:
— With iOS 12, users can securely AutoFill passwords from iPhone
and iPad to Apple TV to easily sign in to Apple TV apps.
— The Apple TV Remote will be automatically added to Control
Center on iPhone or iPad for Apple TV users, giving users quick
access to Apple TV controls.
— Home control systems like Control4, Crestron and Savant can be
used to control Apple TV, including using Siri for voice search and
control.
