Yesterday we were able to update our iPhones to iOS 13.1 and our iPads to the expected iPadOS. Do not forget that I also know released the new update for Apple TV, tvOS 13, with the main novelty of including Apple Arcade. After testing it, we see that it brings some more news.
TvOS 13 is now available for both Apple TVs that are currently for sale: Apple TV 4K y Apple TV HD (Fourth generation). Of course, the most important is the inclusion of Apple Arcade, Apple's new gaming platform, but in total there are seven new features to consider.
Revamped home screen
There has been a facelift on the home screen. Now the applications play a full screen preview of movies, series, games and music, joining the visual trend of streaming platforms.
Multi-user support
Another novelty following in the footsteps of Netflix and company: different user profiles. Support has been added for different users, from the Apple TV Control Center, so that each member of the family has their own profile with their movies and series seen, playlists, recommendations, etc.
Apple Music with Karaoke
Apple music includes two new features: the multi-user support discussed above, and the ability to see the lyrics of the song you are playing on the screen, like Karaoke. A fun way to learn languages, or sing with your favorite singer.
Apple Arcade
Without a doubt the most important and long-awaited novelty. From now on, you can subscribe to the gaming platform Apple Arcade. For € 4,99 per month you can enjoy a whole catalog of exclusive games (more than 100 to start) without advertising or in-app purchases, and share it with all the members of your family (up to six members). You can enjoy it on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. You can try it free for a month.
With iOS 13, iPadOS and tvOS 13 we can use the controllers of PS4 and Xbox One.
Compatibility with PS4 and XBOX One controllers
The truth is that it is a hoot. A highly recommended new gaming experience. As a complement to Apple Arcade, a wireless controller for the PS13 (DualShock 4) and the one for the Xbox One can now be linked via bluetooth to your Apple device with iOS 4 (iPhone, iPad and Apple TV). Great news.
New screen protectors
Well, another face lift. If you have the 4K model, some very spectacular UHD wallpapers of the seabed have been added.
Ready for Apple TV +
As of November 1, the Apple TV + video platform begins in earnest, with exclusive audiovisual content. Movies, series, documentaries and TV shows that will be available to your subscribers in a few weeks.
