This time, the manufacturer said that the novelty will boast full-fledged protection against water. We are talking about IP68 certification. That is, the device can be submerged under water up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes.
The system has received interactive widgets. They allow you to perform actions with a single touch. For example, switch on the backlight, play music or mark a reminder as completed. By the way, interactive widgets are available not only on the home screen, but also on the lock screen. It has also received an updated appearance with the possibility of customisation.
According to the official invitation of the manufacturer, the novelty will be shown at a global event on 26 September. That is, the device will debut together with the flagships Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro. The gadget will run on the Wear OS operating system.
The main innovation of the software is FaceTime support. Users can start a video conversation on their iPhone or iPad and continue it on the TV. FaceTime on Apple TV also supports Continuity Camera. That is, the iPhone can be used as a camera and microphone. Also with tvOS 17, the WebEx by Cisco and Zoom apps are now available on Apple TV.
This is the biggest update of the system for the last few years. For example, the developers have returned widgets to the firmware and redesigned the home screen. Apple has also added three new watch faces to the software, a revamped Activity app, new cycling features, a Mindfulness app for mood tracking, and an improved Health app.
The new version of the software contains many small but useful innovations. For example, advanced image settings for contacts, and Standby mode, which displays the time, widgets, and other useful information when the smartphone is in a horizontal position.
