This evening, Apple surprisingly released the sixth beta of iOS 12.3 for developers.
Somewhat surprisingly, a new version of iOS 12.3 was released just three days after the fifth beta - this indicates that the final version of the iPhone operating system will be launched soon. No new features are to be expected. The most important change for the upcoming operating systems is the updated TV app. Apple TV Channels was developed to bring together numerous channels. Consumers should be able to subscribe to third-party TV packages as needed - this also includes Apple's own content. The Apple TV Channels feature is considered perfect for those who do not want a complete program package. Apple works with companies such as Showtime, HBO, Epix, CBS All Access and others.
Over 150 different services
Essentially, each of these services can be subscribed to directly in the Apple TV application - your own iTunes account is used for billing. The content is also played directly in the new TV app - unlike third-party applications. Within the TV app, there are several categories for browsing content. On the iPhone, the bottom section has been reduced to "Watch Now", "Library" and "Search". Similar changes to the menu have also been made on the Apple TV. Apple is relying on machine learning with the new TV app. A new section highlights various films and TV shows that the user might be interested in - based on what the user has seen in the past. Over 150 different services will be integrated into the TV app, including Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
