As on iOS and tvOS, TV will include Apple's own shows and movies alongside content from other providers. The TV app, meanwhile, offers 4K HDR feedback, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio. When you look for a phrase someone uttered on a particular episode, it will pop up in search, pulling the quote from the transcript. For example, there's now full-text search in the Podcasts app. Machine learning has made search in the apps better, Craig Federighi said. Instead, your device will sync via the sidebar in Finder. When you plug in your iPhone, iPad or iPod to sync, update your OS or manage your media library, the old, annoying iTunes popup won't appear anymore.
Rumors emerged in April about the separate apps, while screenshots of Music and TV leaked last week. Apple has announced it's releasing separate apps for Music, TV and Podcasts in macOS Catalina later this year, breaking up the iTunes hegemony that's been in place for 16 years, and hammering a nail in the coffin of that messy, neglected software.
