It’s extremely unusual these days that a business can release a new version of a major platform as well as not have an inquisitive designer dive two feet in to see what goes on behind the scenes. With every single Apple release, regardless of whether it’s iOS, OS X, tvOS, or watchOS, it seems that somebody gets into the nitty gritty of the platform to see if there are any type of hidden gems. one of the routine offenders, designer Steve Troughton-Smith, has done precisely that when once again with Apple’s tvOS 9.0 develop as well as found it has built-in support for iOS-like house screen folders.
Smith is no complete stranger to investigating Apple’s platforms as well as getting them to do things that Apple doesn’t precisely want right at this moment. You may keep in mind that he was likewise one of the very first to get “native” apps running on the Apple watch firmware before watchOS 2 was officially introduced to the public. Now, after being dissatisfied by the lack of folders support in the latest tvOS 9.1 beta, Smith has done a bit digging as well as worked his magic by sharing pictures that show folders on the Apple TV 4 working just like they would on a basic iOS device.
This time around it seems that the designer is really getting the Apple TV to do something that Apple potentially really wants it to do. His investigation into the underlying codebase of tvOS 9.0 uncovered the truth that Apple has already packed built-in support for folders on the new Apple TV, however it just hasn’t been triggered yet for one reason or another.
The info as well as pictures shared by Smith show that individuals would be able to name the folders whatever they want, in addition to have 9 apps in a single folder in a 3×3 grid. Deleting apps likewise seems quite simple with a single press of the play/pause button on the Siri Remote.
The existence of this code within tvOS doesn’t explicitly mean that Apple has every intention of activating folders for Apple TV owners. It clearly shows that there has been a great deal of believing behind the feature, with enough consideration to apply time as well as engineering resources for including it. however whether or not we will see it “officially” introduced anytime soon is an completely different story. would folders on the Apple TV 4 be something you would use? Or, like me, do you believe they would be a bit troublesome as well as fiddly?
