Today at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference keynote, Apple announced new Siri capabilities, single sign-on for Apple TV, and more new features for tvOS on Apple TV. All will be included in the updated coming this fall. With expanded Siri capabilities, including searching across even more apps, YouTube search, topic search and customers can get to their favorite content even faster. The future of TV is apps, and with single sign-on customers can authenticate all the video channels from their pay-TV providers by simply signing in once to enjoy all of their network-TV apps. You can now ask Siri for a movie by topic or theme, you have even more ways to find the films you really feel like watching, such as “Show movies about baseball,” “Find documentaries about cars,” or “Find high school comedies from the ‘80s.” Later this month, users can ask Siri to search YouTube, so you can say things like “Search YouTube for cute pug videos.” Apple TV is also getting a live tune-in feature. You can ask Siri to go directly to a live channel inside a supported app, such as “Watch CBS News” or “Watch ESPN.” Customers in the US will have a simplified way of enjoying pay-TV video channels by using single sign-on. Starting this fall, users only have to sign in once on Apple TV to enjoy immediate access to their favorite video channels that are included as part of their pay-TV subscription. Once a user is signed into one network app, any other app on Apple TV from participating pay-TV providers will automatically log the user into all other 
supported apps requiring authentication. During the single sign-on process, customers can view a page of all the authenticated apps that a pay-TV provider offers to more easily discover, download and enjoy all of their favorite video channels. Single sign-on will be available on both Apple TV and iOS. tvOS will also gain a new "dark mode" option. Apple is working on an updated Remote iOS app for the Apple TV that will offer Siri Remote features on the iPhone and iPad. The app will not only support touch gestures, but Siri integration to allow the same sort of voice controls available from the physical remote. The Remote iOS app will even allow you to use your iPhone as a game controller for Apple TV games.
