tvOS is Apple's operating system for Apple TV 4K and has powered the living-room experience within the Apple ecosystem since September 2015. With tvOS, Apple delivers its own App Store, a unified library experience through the Apple TV app, multi-user profiles, Spatial Audio via AirPlay and HomePod stereo pairing, Game Center integration, FaceTime on the TV, and a growing set of clever features such as Genius Browse, real-time sports overlays, dynamic screensavers and subtitle styling on the big screen. The Siri Remote, game controllers and the interplay with iPhone, iPad, HomePod, AirPods and Apple Watch make tvOS a central hub for streaming, gaming and smart home.
