Oh I found this! Let’s hope the HomePod YouTube issue is fixed.
I didn’t notice that one. I’ll have to go back and watch it again. I had my 4 year old flapping about during the presentation.
They did. That’s why it seems like there was nothing else. If you blinked you missed it. And it was so forgettable.
I missed it too. It was sent to me on Twitter. Now I see it on Reddit.
Did you hear anything about HomePod? All I saw was that it will announce who is at your door if you have a HomeKit enabled camera. If it can recognise the person. I also saw on the slide support for third party steaming apps.
I want it to be able to control my Apple TV to play back TV shows from iTunes and Apple + like my iPad and iPhone can already do.
Now in that one I’m sure there was nothing. AudioOS wasn’t listed behind Tim was getting started. Plus that was listed with HomeKit.

YouTube in 4K? Is that from the tvOS app or airplay?
so the native app then?
how??? YouTube uses Google’s own codec for 4K. Are they switching to using the one Apple supports? Or is Apple supporting other 4K codecs???
Apple uses The open MPEG Standard and Google use their own your Priority VP9 codec and their products! So whom is not supporting the open standard?
lean about the 4K streaming online War Between Apple and Google in the blog article The 4K Video Codec War What You Need To Know!
I don’t know. But my guess is Google caved. V9 needs a sufficient hardware capability that the current tv may not have. Supposedly V9 is about 20% less efficient than HEVC. Although I guess it could be a hint to a new tv in the fall. But I’m really just guessing.
But there’s just no way it could be done via AirPlay. You can’t even AirPlay a 4K video you shot on your phone to your tv.

You will be able to airplay your 4K videos with tvOS 14.
YouTube in 4K: FINALLY!
Good to know!!! I wonder if it’s gonna be AirPlay or is it just gonna get the URL from your phone and then will play it from your iCloud as if you had played it from tvOS Photos. Like a Handoff situation.
Holy S... they finally added 4K YouTube? ...color me excited to get home and update just for this.
So now, fingers crossed, we get 4K in Safari on YouTube as well.
but yeah, I had the keynote on, someone Walked in the room to ask a few questions, I go back to watch the keynote and the Big Sur is on the screen so I completely missed the little aTV segment.
They didn’t mention it on the keynote-it’s buried at the bottom of the ATV section on Apple.com.

typical of Apple when it comes to tvOS
I was annoyed by how long they spent on Foundation. I’m still not convinced people will keep tv+ past the free year. I’m still not certain my family will.
I most likely will. I enjoy the content so far. hopefully they have a yearly sub model.
