Apple did not give him a minute of attention during the key note WWDC 2022 kickoff, but that doesn’t mean tvOS 16, the next version of the Apple TV operating system, hasn’t gotten a little love this year too.
With tvOS 16, Apple TV will finally be compatible with Nintendo Switch controllers. It will also support HDR10+ technology and add a new feature so you can fast-forward a video on Apple TV+.
