It's also the smallest, by shipping volume.
The Mac is Apple's most powerful, extensible computing platform, both in hardware and software. The throughline for all these features is about making the Mac more welcoming and comfortable for people who come to it through one of Apple's mobile platforms. That feels doubly true in Ventura, where a core system app has been rewritten from the ground up to mirror its iOS counterpart, where a new window management feature is being implemented in the same way on the iPad, and where new apps and updates to old ones are increasingly just iPad apps running inside macOS windows. Overwhelmingly, new features for macOS merely help it keep pace with what is happening on the iPhone and iPad. In addition, the Apple TV can now install software updates automatically.But it does feel like the software side of the Mac is lacking its own unique direction and identity lately. The 1080p set top box is rumored to be undergoing a hardware refresh as soon as next month when the new iPads and MacBooks are set to be updated as well. The update comes just two days after the public release of iOS 7, which brings a refreshed design and several notable features like Control Center. The software was called “Apple TV 5.4” while in beta, but it appears Apple has changed the name to Apple TV 6.0 in the public release ( as seen in this iTunes Radio KB document). Also of note, AirPlay from iCloud is only compatible with iOS 7 devices. On iOS, your video will start streaming immediately, but the Apple TV takes in a huge buffer which can result in a long wait before the video can start. This reduces local bandwidth in half, however, some users may not want the feature since Apple TV handles iCloud video streaming differently than iOS devices. Once enabled, it allows you to “use your iOS device to play videos from iTunes in the Cloud”, which means the content is streamed directly to Apple TV rather than your iOS device. Apple TV 6.0, which has been in beta testing since June, brings with it iTunes Radio, AirPlay from iCloud, iCloud Photos and Videos (replacing Photo Stream), iTunes Music Store, and conference room mode.ĪirPlay from iCloud, which mirrors Google’s Chromecast, is a feature that must be turned on from the Settings. Everyone’s favorite hockey puck “hobby” has received a huge software update today.
