Maybe I’m way off the mark here, but Snoopy is just Boomer humor. No one born after 1985 is going to know what Snoopy is or care about it, other than that old cartoon their grandma made them watch once.
Got a tip for us?

Confirmed on 2nd Gen. Where my Foundation screensavers is what I want to know!
1st Gen AppleTV 4k also doesn’t have the new voice enhancement or FaceTime integration.
Yes, I know. But this seems silly to me. I don't even remember ever seeing a screen saver on my Apple TV. The point is that Apple makes exclusivity out of such a small thing. From my point of view, Apple is falling to a low level
The screen savers are available to use as wallpaper. Is there a setting to make the wallpaper play like the screensaver. I want motion in my wallpaper...
Also, I have weather for my iPhone 16 Pro lock screen wall paper. Again, why does the weather motion stop after 1 or 2 seconds??? There should also be sound. For example, if there's thunder and lightning.
Another website said a tick-tick watch noise can play for the Watch Ultra in 18.2. Where is this setting?

You're way off the mark at least as far as my family goes… kids love Snoopy 🥰
While I do agree it sucks for 1st Gen AppleTV 4K owners, I just wanted to point out that Apple has been pulling stunts like this for at least 20 years (if not more).
My first Mac was the original iMac G5 followed quickly by a PowerMac G5 Quad. I can remember when Apple first added what would later be known as PhotoBooth effects to iChat and they were limited to the iMac G5 with iSight and newer despite working perfectly well on older hardware when unlocked by 3rd party software. It was complete and utter BS. And that was back when Steve Jobs was in charge. If anything, I think we've been spoiled for the most part under Cook and that is why it sucks when they decide to finally pull this kind of stuff on us.
What is Apple's obsession with this old cartoon? Lol, I can't figure it out.
One of the c-suite executives have some kind of severe case of longing for their childhood?

Peanuts is marvelous. Schulz's humor is timeless. Kids of all ages enjoy the strip, the books, the shows…
I guess Snoopy must be getting hard to work with as he approaches his 75th birthday. I'm glad he wasn't put down and Apple was able to complete his screen savers.
The third beta of tvOS 18.2 that Apple provided to developers today adds a selection of new Snoopy screen savers that can be set as an alternative to the aerial, memory, and portrait screen saver options.
Apple first announced the Snoopy screen savers way back in June when tvOS 18 was first unveiled, but there had been no sign of them since then. With tvOS 18.2, Snoopy fans will finally be able to set Snoopy as their screen saver.
Apple has an existing partnership with Peanuts, and there is already a Snoopy watch face available on the Apple Watch. Peanut specials and classic episodes are also available on Apple TV+.

And I think that’s the way it should be. If devices/services aren’t meeting needs, people should move to other devices/services. Apple’s focus is on “new” customers, and it has been for awhile. They consider it a win if they get 2-3 users today to replace folks that haven’t bought anything for some time.
You can. You'll need to sync iCloud Photos. Just look at the settings.
Snoopy is a fantastic License and I am glad Apple is being aggressive getting timeless licenses like Snoopy and Hello Kitty.
I was wondering why I couldn’t find them, like this has to be a joke right? Between stuff like this and the original Apple Watch Ultra being obsolete already I have just smashed all my Apple products and ordered Google stuff.
It was caught on camera for those that don’t believe me.

Lol, who is in charge of these co/branding opportunities? 70 year old white dudes?
