Apple has also released tvOS 12 for the Apple TV.

While a considerably smaller update than either iOS 12 or watchOS 5, both also released today, tvOS 12 nonetheless enhanced the Apple TV experiences by adding support for Dolby Atmos audio for supported movies, and a new “zero sign-on” feature that will allow users on supported providers to automatically authenticate video streaming apps based on their Internet provider.

tvOS 12 also adds the ability for users to get more details on the location of an aerial screensaver simply by tapping the Siri Remote, or swipe left or right to view different aerial scenes.
