    You know, they say lack of sleep has a major impact on your cognitive abilities, so maybe staying up all night coding isn't the best idea.
  • Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:03:23 PM
    Cook: We are so inspired by the millions of incredible apple developers around the world. Your dreams and your dedication to fulfill those dreams comes across in the apps you create.

    Cook: Apple TV is designed to be used for the whole family, but we wanted to make it more personal.
     
    Today, the up-next list has a list of shows for everyone in the home.... so we're introducing mulit-user support for TVOS

    Cook: TVOS also delivers Apple Music ... now with multi-user support, everyone gets a personalized music experience.

    Cook: Apple Arcade is also going to look amazing on the Apple TV 4K this fall. 
     
    ... We're extending support to the two best and most popular game controllers available -- the Xbox One S, and the PlayStation 4.
  • James Martin 6/3/2019 5:11:15 PM
  • Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:11:18 PM
    Xbox One S and PlayStation controller support for Apple TV games? Huh. Whoa.
  • James Martin 6/3/2019 5:11:22 PM
  • Ian Sherr 6/3/2019 5:11:52 PM
    Cook: Screensavers: This year, we're going under the sea. Oh, it's awesome.
     
    That's the new TVOS, more personal and more entertaining than ever.
  • Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:12:00 PM
    (if controller support includes rumble and analog and all that...that's cool)

    Apple Arcade looks really interesting -- not so much because it's yet another subscription game service, but because it promises a highly curated experience. Discoverability is the key issue for any game platform, I'd consider tossing someone a few bucks a month to hand-pick actual good (and exclusive) content.
  • Scott Stein 6/3/2019 5:12:06 PM
    Apple Watch time!
