Apple’s TVOS 26 Brings iPhone Karaoke Microphones and Liquid Glass
Apple unveils new features for TVOS 26, the next version of its operating system. It includes the ability to use the iPhone as a microphone in Apple Music. The company also said that its Liquid Glass design, which reimagines buttons as see-though glass diffracting the content underneath it, will be coming to Apple TV.
Apple unveiled the ability to connect your iPhone to Apple Music on TVOS to use as a karaoke mic. Apple TV first introduced a karaoke mode to Apple Music in 2022, enabling you to sing along to onscreen lyrics, but there wasn’t a way to hear your vocals apart from “live.”

In addition, Apple said that its Liquid Glass design, which reimagines buttons as see-though glass diffracting the content underneath it, will be coming to Apple TV. The company also said that the Apple TV Plus app is also getting bigger, “more cinematic” poster art in each of the show slides.
Lastly, the company is also bringing profiles to TVOS, letting you set up your own home screens and separate app logins.
The Apple TV is one of CNET’s favorite streaming devices due to its simple interface and its ability to play games as well as display Dolby Vision content. The updates probably won’t encourage users to switch from Roku or Google TV, but should enhance the experience for existing owners.
