Apple Updates tvOS 18.2 Screen Saver Plans

Apple is gearing up to release the latest update, tvOS 18.2, for Apple TV devices in December. This update will bring some changes to the screen saver options, including the introduction of Snoopy-themed screen savers for 2021 and newer Apple TV models, as confirmed by the third beta version of the software.

Interestingly, it seems like Apple has made some changes to its original plans. The screen savers featuring Apple TV+ content under the “TV and Movies” category have quietly disappeared from the website. This includes the removal of a preview showcasing a screen saver based on the Apple TV+ series “Foundation.”

This change is evident in updates to the fine print on Apple’s U.S. website:

Previous: “Snoopy and TV and Movies screen savers coming late 2024.”

Current: “Snoopy screen saver coming late 2024.”

With the tvOS 18.2 update, Apple TV will now feature additional screen saver categories, including Aerials, Memories, and the recently added Portraits option with clocks, which was introduced in tvOS 18.0. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches.
