Most of the time, streaming hardware manufacturers don’t make huge changes to their interfaces. Customers are already so familiar with the user experiences on devices like Apple TV that only small changes are needed. However, Apple will launch version 18.4 of its TV operating software soon, and when it does roll out, it will reportedly come with a few small, key updates.

Key Details:

• Apple TV devices will start displaying a new, larger Watchlist button.
• More episode release schedule info will be available at a glance.
• Enhanced fonts and icons will make navigation easier.

As reported by 9 to 5 Mac, Apple TV’s OS updates will make operating the device even easier. To start with, tvOS and iOS version 18.4 will launch a larger plus button that allows viewers to add a title to their watchlist. On featured titles, viewers in the TV app will see the new plus button right next to the play button as opposed to residing in the top-right corner of the screen, making it much easier to notice.

The release schedule for titles putting out new episodes will also be much more prominent on iOS 18.4. This information used to be shown under the show’s title, but now it will be placed above the title in question in its own dedicated banner, making the details of the next episode available at a glance.

Lastly, the Apple TV app will get a bit of a facelift in the new operating system updates. New icons and fonts will make it easier to differentiate between content categories, and more attractive to the eye when you’re scrolling through rows on your Apple TV device or browsing the TV app.

The Streamable’s expert Jared DiPane calls the Apple TV his favorite streaming hardware, and the easy-to-use interface is one of the biggest reasons why. That interface is getting even more user friendly once Apple launches iOS and tvOS version 18.4 to the public.
