It’s replace day in Apple land. And along with the brand new hotness that’s iOS 17.2 for telephones and tablets, and MacOS 14.2 Sonoma for, uh, Macs, we even have tvOS 17.2 for Apple TV.

We’ve been operating the beta monitor for a short time now and have already got talked about updates to the sidebar within the TV app, in addition to new performance for the Siri button on the distant management. And so they’re nonetheless there, which is nice.

That first bit really is a component of a bigger redesign of the TV app. It nonetheless principally seems to be and feels the identical, simply with the sections now off to the aspect. It’s cleaner, although it would take just a bit little bit of time to get used to.

“The redesigned Apple TV app makes it simpler than ever for customers to look at the reveals, motion pictures, and sports activities they love by way of an intuitive interface that brings content material to the forefront,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vp of companies, stated in a press launch. “With a lot obtainable to look at, our intention is to make sure customers all the time have their favorites at their fingertips.”

The up to date app additionally extends to telephones and tablets, including a brand new “residence” part that Apple says is “a unified information for all of the reveals, motion pictures, and sports activities viewers love.”

And that’s all true, supplied that the service that’s being unified really performs good with what Apple is doing right here. In different phrases — you continue to gained’t discover any Netflix content material. However you will see reveals and flicks and reside occasions from many different companies, and it truly is making the TV app a must have.

The replace additionally makes it simple to change customers on Apple TV. However there’s nonetheless a fairly good probability you’ll miss that half as a result of not like with Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video, which serve up the choice to alter customers earlier than you really get into the app itself, you’ll have to hunt it out earlier than deciding on whose reveals and proposals you’ll see. (I’ve the identical grievance with YouTube TV.)

The tvOS 17.2 replace is offered now. Head to Settings, then System, to get it.
