When Apple introduced the fourth-generation Apple TV last September, it presented us with a diamond in the rough. This means that we can see its potential, but it has yet to be polished to make it the dream product. When it went on sale at the end of October, it came with the most basic functions: those that would allow us to search for certain content that would fill Cupertino's coffers a little more, such as being able to search for movies via Crab. There is still a lot of work for tvOS may be all we hope for, but the latest beta shows that they are on the right track.
Yesterday was one of those days in which Apple releases betas for all its operating systems. Knowing that iOS 9.3 will include important news, tvOS is the only operating system that continues to add beta after beta. The first we discovered yesterday is that Dictation will be available, which will not allow you to write text with your voice. Contrary to what I thought, as you can see in the following screenshot, we can enter the text of users and passwords, something that, logically, does not seem like a very good idea to me. In any case, options are always welcome.
tvOS 9.2 will allow you to search applications via Siri
But there will also be another interesting novelty: we can search apps by asking Siri. To be honest, I can't quite understand why they are taking so long to include news such as Dictation or search for applications from the App Store. The Siri version of the Apple TV is better than that of the iPhone, since we can ask it to search mixing Spanish and English and it understands us perfectly. It is something that I have verified searching in Apple Music, where it understands me perfectly if I say «put me the song Nothing else Matters«. If I want to do something similar on iPhone or iPad, please understand «put me the song Nothing Smulders", Which is not bad because it turns out to be a song from the series" How I Met Your Mother ", which I like, but it is not what I asked.
There is always the possibility that they prefer to insure, but it is also possible that what they want is to offer the dropper novelties so that we rejoice launch after launch. Whatever the reason, these two novelties will be very welcome when they are officially released.
