Apple’s latest update to its tvOS will add new features, including support for older models of HomePod.

Version 17 of Apple’s tvOS was released in September and introduced FaceTime, VPN support, and an improved Control Center, to name a few fresh additions. Now, tvOS 17.1 is set to provide even more features and improvements.

‘Enhance Dialogue’ does what you would expect from the name and could be useful if dialogue sounds muddy or you have trouble hearing what characters in your favourite show are saying. The feature is compatible with streaming apps that provide the standard tvOS playback controls, including Disney+, Hulu, and Max.

Apple’s tvOS 17.1 update is said to be available this week, so Apple TV users, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for further news.
