We Didn’t See tvOS 16
Apple always takes advantage of the WWDC to announce software updates to pretty much every Apple device they currently have.
And while we did see the expected software updates, like iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, Apple didn’t give much love to the Apple TV.
A lot of rumors pointed out that Apple would announce a tvOS software update. Unfortunately for Apple TV users, that didn’t happen. It might have been a surprise for a lot of us, but Apple didn’t announce or even show tvOS 16, which was pretty much a given before the event.
We really don’t know why Apple took this decision, but since Apple took a lot of time talking about iOS 16 and macOS 16, not to mention watchOS 9 and the brand new MacBook Air, it’s possible that the company didn’t want to drag the presentation by showcasing the software update of the less popular product of the bunch.
However, that’s pure speculation at this point. We’ll have to wait and see when Apple decides to drop a new update for its TV box.
