Apple TV app updated with new Netflix-like interface

Apple has provided its Apple TV app a modest makeover, with the tech giant unveiling a refreshed platform bearing far more resemblance to the streaming services you already utilize.

Hot on the heels of reports in October pointing to Apple’s imminent redesign, the Apple TV app overhaul forms part of the company’s tvOS 17.2 software update rolled out Monday alongside the iOS 17.2 chapter. It’s principally an intuitive and aesthetic tune-up consisting of a new app interface for Apple’s entertainment nexus, which has transformed the grid-like menu into a decidedly Netflix-esque Home page equipped with a sidebar.

Apple’s gleaming new Home foyer incorporates a Channels and Apps segment where you can explore your streaming platforms and linked apps, in addition to sifting through curated collections and suggestions encompassing Trending, Top Charts, and New. From the original configuration, the sidebar is where you can access Apple’s own Apple TV+ streaming benefit with all its originals like Severance, Shrinking, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Bad Sisters, The Afterparty, and more.

There’s likewise been an upgrade to the Store for rental and purchases of movies and TV (with a new Add Channels & Apps element for browsing), live sports broadcasts including Major League Soccer, and shortcuts to the other streaming services you subscribe to — all nestled in the sidebar.

In a maneuver to haul the Apple TV stage nearer to a Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+-style form, if you’re employing the Apple TV app via an Apple TV set-top box appliance, the updated sidebar further encompasses profiles that you can toggle between so you don’t get the same suggestions or spoiled personal Up Next lists on your Home page.

Moreover, Apple has demoted its dedicated apps, entailing the iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps will now re-route users to the Apple TV app, as will the iTunes Store app on the hardware devices. Essentially, all roads on Apple TV now result in the Apple TV app.
