It’s now significantly easier to connect an Apple TV 4K (or Apple TV HD) to a Wi-Fi network that requires additional sign-in steps. It’s not uncommon for a Wi-Fi network in a hotel or college dorm to require users to complete a form or sign into an account before internet access is granted. The Apple TV 4K previously made connecting to these types of Wi-Fi networks a chore, but not any longer. Once you’ve downloaded the latest tvOS update, you will be able to use an iPhone to quickly get your streaming device online. If you’re attempting to connect to a Wi-Fi network that requires additional sign-in steps, just quickly pull out your smartphone and you can be online with just a few taps. This upgrade may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it’s a seriously useful improvement if you regularly take your Apple TV 4K on the road. It also solidifies the device’s position on our ranking of the best streaming devices. This isn’t the only Roku/Fire TV feature we’d like to see the Apple TV 4K copy either. One of our writers passionately believes it’s time for Apple to re-introduce the home button to its Siri remote. But since it’s not there, we’ve got the one Apple TV trick everyone needs to know to try and fix that. In other streaming news, the digital Spider-Man: No Way Home has a hidden bonus feature you shouldn’t miss out on. Meanwhile, NBC’s canceled another show and HBO Max offers hope for fan favorites — including Mare of Easttown’s return. Oh, and in the Disney side of things? Disney Plus revealed the Ms. Marvel release date and first trailer that teases changes to her comic origins.
