Apple TV was a device that lacked VPN apps that were easily available on your iOS and macOS devices. Therefore, users who wanted to establish a VPN connection on Apple TV had to do so directly by fiddling with the modem. But with tvOS 17, Apple will finally allow them to publish VPN apps on the Apple TV App Store.
VPN apps will allow Apple TV users to access geo-restricted content. For example, users will be able to watch the US version of Netflix in another country. In the tvOS 17 press release, Apple focused on the benefits of VPN applications for corporate and education users. This will make Apple TV a great office and conference room solution in more places.
Other innovations coming with tvOS 17
tvOS 17 brings new features to Apple TV such as FaceTime and a redesigned Control Center. It also offers a new way to find Siri Remote with your iPhone. With this update, you will be able to FaceTime on Apple TV for the first time.
Developers can now install tvOS 17 on their Apple TVs that they’ve registered with the Apple Developer Program. Apple has stated that tvOS 17 will be released for everyone later this year. An open beta version is expected to be released by July. The update will be compatible with all Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD models released in 2015 and later.
With tvOS 17, your Apple TV will become an even more powerful and fun device. Alongside VPN apps, features like FaceTime and Control Center will enhance your experience. Please do not forget to share your thoughts for tvOS 17 with us in the comments.
