tvOS 18

There are a handful of new things coming to tvOS 18 that we’d like to see in action, but it was still an underwhelming software update, especially when you compare it to the other updates Apple revealed.

For starters, the biggest update coming to tvOS 18 will only be available on the Apple TV+ streaming service, which not everyone has. This addition is called InSight, and it works similarly to Amazon’s X-Ray feature.

Whenever you’re watching a show or a movie, you’ll be able to use InSight to learn more about the actors involved. You’ll see their picture and bio, as well as the previous movies and shows they’ve worked on. Additionally, you’ll also have access to a movie’s soundtrack, and you’ll be able to find it in Apple Music instantly.

Enhanced Dialogue is also getting better with tvOS 18. As you can probably guess by its name, this feature will use machine learning and computational audio to make the dialogue in a movie clearer and louder than music or background noise. Users will be able to use this feature with their Apple TV 4K, AirPods, or built-in TV or HDMI-connected speakers.
