Apple Inc. on Thursday unveiled a new video app that allows
users to access and watch shows and movies from multiple apps on
Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.
The company announced the app, called TV, at an event in which
Apple is expected to update its line of Mac computers.
The app helps users keep track of what programs they are
watching -- whether it is on Apple TV, iPhone or iPad -- and find
the next show in that series.
In addition, Apple showed off a feature that allows users to use
its voice-controlled assistant Siri to find live news and sporting
events across their apps.
Apple also said some pay-TV customers will be able to use a
single sign-on to access the apps that are part of their pay-TV
subscription.
The TV app and single sign-on will be available in December as
free software updates for Apple TV, iPhone and iPad customers in
the U.S. Live tune-in with Siri is available today, Apple said.
