For 3 years, since the launch of the 3rd generation Apple TV, there have been many rumors surrounding the 4th generation Apple TV, some of them were confirmed as the launch of its own App Store for Apple's set-top box. Others, as is usual, and that were the fruit of the fantasy of some, stayed by the wayside, although they could arrive with the next generation of Apple TV, which we have already talked about on occasion, but which currently has no date. scheduled for launch, although some rumors suggest that it could be this year. Shortly after the launch of Apple TV, Apple launched the TV Remote application for iPhone, an application with which we can control the operation of Apple TV.
This application is ideal for when we sit on the sofa and we don't know where the hell we have put the Apple TV remote. The latest beta of tvOS 10.2, a version that will be about to reach devices in its final version, points out that the guys from Cupertino could launch the TV Remote application for the iPad, which would be a fantastic idea for all those users who they make use of the iPad in front of the television while they consult content through the Apple tablet.
We do not know if Apple has changed its mind, because this application was only available for the iPhone, but here the important thing is that we will also be able to use it from our iPad, ideal for those users who when they get home they disconnect the iPhone but want to use the application through the iPadsimply because they like it better than using the remote.
If you are users of Apple TV and an iPad, the only thing we can do is wait to see if finally Apple releases final version of tvOS 10.2, to be able to take advantage of all the news that it offers us. For now, Apple has released six betas of the next version of tvOS, more than enough for this new update to be ready to hit the market.
