tvOS 14 has finally been announced by Apple at its latest WWDC 2020 event, and while it’s not a massive overhaul for the Apple TV 4K streaming device, it does include a number of small, incremental changes for the Apple TV operating system. WWDC 2020Apple TV 4K
The most important of the new changes are the inclusion of quick game resume, similar to features on the PS4 and Xbox One, that lets you jump right back into a game where you left off, and new support for the Xbox Elite Series 2 and Xbox Adaptive Controllers. Xbox Adaptive Controllers
Last but not least, Apple will extend the iOS14’s picture-in-picture and HomeKit updates that are coming to tvOS 14, too.
Those changes aren’t quite of the same caliber as the ones we got in tvOS 13, which brought multi-user support with personalized recommendations, a new-and-improved Control Center, and improvements to the TV App ahead of Apple TV Plus, but there’s always a chance that Apple could surprise us with another feature down the road.

The bad news? It doesn’t look like we’ll see any new Apple TV hardware this year, despite some pretty convincing leaks suggesting we were about to see a model drop. It seemed like it could happen alongside the announcement of tvOS 14, but for now we’ll just have to keep waiting for the desperately needed A12X Bionic upgrade, which we now expect to see in September – when Apple usually shows off new iPhone and iPad models.new Apple TVpretty convincing leaksdesperately needed A12X Bionic upgradeiOS 14 release date, beta, features and supported iPhonesiOS 14 release date, beta, features and supported iPhonesiPadOS 14 release date, features and compatibility detailsiPadOS 14 release date, features and compatibility detailsmacOS 11 Big Sur: release date, name and featuresmacOS 11 Big Sur: release date, name and featuresWWDC 2020 live blog: everything Apple announcedWWDC 2020 live blog: everything Apple announced
