Apple is introducing a new feature for the iPhone 16 that automatically displays subtitles when the mute button is pressed during video playback. This feature will be available on the upcoming iPhone 16 series and older iPhones, including the iPhone XS, once iOS 18 is installed. The software is currently in its second developer beta and will reach general release in September.
The Apple TV range is expected to change with the introduction of a new home accessory, possibly featuring the A18 chip, and two unreleased Apple TV devices. Additionally, the next-generation Apple TV is rumored to have a faster processor, potential built-in camera for FaceTime and gesture controls, and a lower price point.
The identifier for the new Apple home accessory is "HomeAccessory17,1." This new identifier category suggests that the device may include the upcoming A18 chip, which is expected to be featured in the iPhone 16 lineup6. The code also indicates that this "home accessory" will be running a software variant of tvOS, much like the HomePod.
