Apple adds new InSight feature to Apple TV Plus

Apple’s tvOS doesn’t get the primary focus at WWDC, but it’s still adding a few new features this fall, including one that will be familiar to people who’ve used Amazon’s streaming service.

The new InSight feature is limited to Apple TV Plus original shows and movies, where it will show details about the actors and characters onscreen as well as pull up details about the show’s soundtrack so you can add tracks to Apple Music. Amazon’s similar X-Ray feature began its life on the Kindle platform before rolling out for TV shows and movies across the Fire tablets and smart TV devices over the last decade.

InSight is also viewable on your iPhone when you’re using it as an Apple TV remote.

Another new addition is smart subtitles that can automatically appear when you mute the TV or skip back. They can also appear when the characters are speaking a different language from the one currently set on the device.

The company is also adding support for 21:9 projectors so you can view widescreen movies “exactly as the directors intended.” And it’s introducing new screen savers from TVs and movies, including a new animated Snoopy screensaver that lets the playful pup spring to life through animations when your TV is idle.
