Summary
With a focus on features instead of OS, tvOS 27 was only mentioned briefly in a quick presentation slide. Every year, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference gives them a first look at what’s coming next to the company’s many operating systems. The whole structure of this year’s WWDC was different, with features delineating the presentation structure instead of sections for each OS update. In a recent announcement of upcoming accessibility features, Apple mentioned larger text support is coming to tvOS, allowing those with low vision to increase onscreen text size (Amazon announced its version of this for the Fire TV Stick HD in April). Their hope was a more integrated Apple Home experience with the Apple TV 4K, where it could act as the hub for your entire smart home.
