Yesterday afternoon, Spanish time, from Cupertino they launched new betas for all operating systems in which the company is working. The first novelty to review in these betas is found in tvOS 14.5. This latest beta renamed Siri Remote to Apple TV Remote, as the boys of MacRumors.
The new name for the Siri Remote is Apple TV Remote, a name that Apple used in all countries where Siri is not available, so it is likely that Apple wants to unify, once and for all, the name of the command that manages the Apple TV. But it could also be an indication of future changes.
In addition to renaming the Siri Remote system-wide, Apple also The Home Button has been renamed Within the section Controls and devices to TV Button, yes, the functionality remains the same.
We have been talking for several months about a possible Apple TV renewal, but it is all speculation. One of them points out that Apple could redesign the control knob, a control knob with new functions and that it will incorporate a function that will allow us to find it on the sofa (where it usually disappears).
Apple with TV with FaceTime?
It is likely that the new generation of Apple TV can include a camera to allow users to videoconference through FaceTime to give it a utility that can justify the purchase of this device today, since most of the smart TVs that are sold in the market, offer both access to Apple TV + and AirPlay 2.
It is also rumored that, after the disappearance of the HomePod, Apple could be working on a speaker with display, an idea that does not seem crazy since it would be very similar to what Amazon currently offers with the Echo Show and Google with the Nest.
