Top 5 features of the the tvOS14 for the AppleTV HD and the Apple TV 4K
1. Picture in Picture
The Picture in Picture functionality in tvOS14 has vastly improved over its predecessor tvOS13. This feature works across tvOS14. Although, developers do need to write code to adopt this new feature. So, look for this to emerge more useful than ever when popular tvOS apps like Youtube get app updates to support it. As of now, Youtube on tvOS14 does not support PIP.2. Greater 4K video support
There is definitely greater 4k video support in the new tvOS14 and Apple TV 4K combination. Youtube videos in 4K show in 4K (yaay!). Also, you can stream you own 4K videos from the iPhone which play in 4K on your tvOS14 enabled AppleTV 4K (and of course a 4K TV 🙂 )3. Improvements in AirPods connectivity to your AppleTV
Pairing your AirPod Pro headphones to your AppleTV becomes a breeze using tvOS14, so you can watch that midnight horror flix without disturbing anyone. Yes, Apple has delivered on this feature. AirPods Pro and AirPods pair with your tvOS enhanced AppleTV as Bluetooth devices (in Settings menu) to give you just that tvOS14 feature. You can connect upto 2 AirPods in this way and this feature works for the newer Beats headphones as well (like BeatsX, Beats Studio3).4. Multiuser support in Apple Arcade gaming as well as support for some new controllers
Multiuser support in Apple Arcade is expanded immensely making it easier for multiple persons to play with your Apple Arcade subscription. Btw, Apple One is coming(in the fall) as well. Apple One will make subscriptions to many of Apple services like Apple Arcade cheaper when bundled together, More on that soon. Moreover, tvOS14 adds support for some gaming controllers like the Xbox Adaptive controllers, Xbox Elite Wireless controllers and Playstation Dualshock 4 wireless controller. There are a few other controllers and I will update this list.5. Better support for HomeKit in tvOS14
tvOS14 adds amazing support for HomeKit cameras and enables all HomeKit cameras in the control center as well as trigger scenes and automations. There is also doorbell camera support with a notification if someone rings your video enabled HomeKit comparable doorbell. There are numerous other smaller enhancements like new screen savers and audio controls in the Control Center.
