Apple Arcade
Apple Arcade. Playing Apple Arcade games is even more immersive on your big screen.2 Multi-user support helps players keep track of their individual game levels, leaderboards and invitations - and switch between players at any time. And you can connect more of your favourite controllers to Apple TV 4K, including PlayStation and Xbox Wireless controllers.[3]
Photos
Photos. iCloud Shared Photo Library makes it easier than ever for the whole family to enjoy each other's photos, and you can see them all right there on your TV. Simply create a shared library on your iPhone or iPad, then invite others to add, edit or delete photos and videos.
Cinematic experience True-to-life picture. Unreal sound.
4K picture. Eye-popping details leap out of the darkest shadows and brightest highlights with advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision - and now HDR10+.4 So everything you watch is worthy of your biggest screen.
Immersive sound. Rich Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and 7.1 audio deliver surround sound that feels like it's coming from every direction on Dolby Atmos-compatible sound systems.[5] Or pair two HomePod mini speakers with Apple TV 4K for room-filling stereo sound with everything you watch. You can also connect AirPods for personalised Spatial Audio that follows the movement of your head.
Siri Remote - Talk about control.
A touch-enabled clickpad. Easily swipe through episodes, scenes or frames with an intuitive circular movement. Turn your TV on or off, change the input to Apple TV 4K and control the volume.
A dedicated Siri button - just like iPhone. Siri has a whole new look and feel on your TV, with quick and easy ways to interact with your requests. And coming later this year, new Siri voice recognition for up to six family members lets Apple TV 4K know who's talking and reply with customised recommendations tailored just for them.[6]
What should I watch?
Coming soon, Siri will have personalised recommendations based on what you've watched.
What did she just say?
Rewind the scene 10 seconds, turn on subtitles and more.
Hey Siri, what's the weather going to be like today?

Show me the babies' room
Keep track of all your connected smart home accessories in Control Centre.
Better together - The best supporting cast in television.
iPhone
A multifaceted remote, for control that goes even further. Convenient built-in controls appear on the Lock Screen of your iPhone and in Control Centre - so you can easily play, pause, fast-forward, rewind and adjust the volume on your TV. You can also use Face ID to make purchases or sign in to apps.
Colour calibration
A perfect combo. Apple TV 4K works with your iPhone to automatically adjust colours to look their best. Just point the camera on your iPhone at your TV screen once, then sit back and see how amazing your shows and movies are meant to look.
Audio Sharing
Listen together. Audio Sharing lets you seamlessly connect up to two sets of AirPods with volume control for each - so both of you can keep watching past someone's bedtime.
Siri on AirPods
Put down the remote when you put on AirPods. Control playback, get scores, find the latest shows and films to watch - even ask Siri to turn off the lights or close the lounge room blinds - all hands-free.
SharePlay
Watch together. Add Apple TV to FaceTime calls on your iPhone or iPad to watch together on the big screen. Everyone's playback remains coordinated, so you can all laugh, cry, scream or sigh at the same time.
Home control - Lights. Cameras. Smart home interactions.
Apple TV 4K is a smart home hub that can automate - and give you remote access to - all of your home's connected accessories.
Smart home hub
Everything at home is under control. Find your connected accessories in one place with Control Centre. Apple TV 4K works seamlessly with your HomeKit-enabled accessories, and now you can connect more devices across more platforms than ever with Matter[7] - the new smart home connectivity standard. And with remote access, you can control your smart home from the Home app on your other Apple devices wherever you go.
Automation
Your home. Your rules. The Home app lets you set an accessory to automatically do what you want, when you want, or create scenes for multiple accessories working together. Locks and motion sensors that activate when it's bedtime. Sprinklers that start, stop or skip watering based on the weather. Lights that dim and curtains that close when it's time for movie night. And whatever else you create.
Privacy and security
Designed to protect your personal information. Privacy at home is more important than ever. That's why your Home data is stored in a way that Apple can't read.

All your TV. All in one app.

[9] Apple's Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple's restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes and packaging used for shipping products to Apple's end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords) and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
