Apple releases iOS 12.3 and tvOS 12.3 with new TV app, watchOS 5.2.1 and macOS 10.14.5 too

Today Apple is rolling out updates to all of its operating systems. iOS 12.3 and tvOS 12.3 are now going out to supported devices, packing in the new TV app that was announced at the company's March event.

The app is available in over 100 countries, all you need is a device with iOS 12.3 or tvOS 12.3 installed. You can also find the app on select Samsung smart TVs starting today. It will come to macOS "this fall".

The app lets you subscribe to Apple TV channels, paying only for those you want, and watch directly in the app, on demand. In the US, options include HBO, Starz, Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, Epix, and Tastemade. You'll also get personalized recommendations of shows and movies from more than 150 video apps and streaming services and over 100,000 iTunes movies and TV shows, including "the largest collection of 4K HDR titles".

iOS 12.3 additionally fixes bugs and improves functionality in Apple News+, Apple Music, Apple TV Remote, AirPlay 2, and CarPlay. Select Samsung smart TVs also get AirPlay 2 support from today.

watchOS 5.2.1 is out too and it expands support for the ECG feature and irregular heart beat notifications to Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, and Iceland.

macOS 10.14.5 is meant as a bug fixing and performance improving release, so there's nothing new of note there. HomePod OS 12.3 adds support for "joining some types of enterprise networks that require unique credentials".
