Apple has a way of doing things exceptionally well. The iOS App store always challenges the developers to create newer and advanced apps. Every year, new apps are introduced and users experience newer levels of functionality. Apple’s App ecosystem is slowly expanding and it is becoming stronger. With the launch of the tvOS, the app platform entirely changed and it is like nothing the world has seen before. Apple TV 4 is simply amazing and it is a highly advanced device, the streaming is of very high quality and the native apps make it even better. So how is the Apple TV different? It is like a computer with a bigger screen, where apps can be installed at ease.
But the system is a bit complicated, the new remote control is tough to handle and you need ample practice to master the skills. But things are not hard all the time. Let’s have a look at some features of this brilliant device from Apple.
1. When watching TV, we often want to rewind or fast forward. The remote’s touch surface is sensitive and by a single tap on the top left corner, the video can be rewinded and by tapping on the right, it can be easily forwarded. Siri is integrated and by giving voice inputs, rewind can be performed.
2. The TV goes to sleep mode automatically, but by long pressing the Home key, a box appears on the screen and the sleep option can be selected from there.
3. Additional options are a must while viewing something and by a single swipe down, the remote will open a dialog box containing options like subtitles, chapters, speaker settings, etc.
4. Like the iPhone, switching between multiple apps is very easy here. You don’t have to go back to the home screen very time. A double‐click on the remote’s home button will open a multitasking screen.
5. By saying a popular movie quote to Siri, the movie can be pulled up easily. It’s amazing!
