Apple Has Just Unveiled TvOs 16. In This Article, We Will Examine The New Features Of This Operating System.

Apple gave a complete description of macOS Ventura, iPadOS 16, iOS 16, and watchOS 9 at WWDC 2022, But he did not mention the details of tvOS 16. According to 9to5Mac, Apple has made it very difficult to gather information about tvOS 16.

While demo pages are available for the company’s other operating systems, this is not the case for tvOS. Of course, by referring to the release notes, developer versions, etc., you can inform of the changes in tvOS 16.

  • Compatibility with Nintendo Switch controllers: tvOS 16 finally supports Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and Pro Controller. Apple has announced that it will help other Bluetooth and USB game controllers, which will start with the tvOS 16. The following is a list of changes to this operating system:
