Apple TV will be having new rules since Apple recently notified the creators of the TV to make a modification. The formerly 200MB apps become 20x larger and can now reach 4GB.

Apple is currently welcoming compliances from developers about the alteration to the Apple TV rules. The change includes extra media to bring a full and well-off user experience upon installation.

According to The Verge, the change may perhaps push more developers to incorporate their games on the Apple TV. Developers were previously incapable of taking large games on tvOS. They are required to stock majority of data in the Cloud of Apple in order to attain sizable games.

This is a feature termed as "On-Demand Resources," which permits reserves up to 20GB of data to be saved and attainable when desired. The feature is still on hand nowadays.

However, inscribing a back-up for cloud resources is absolutely an additional measure. The great game experience also needs a good Internet source.

The new upgrade on the size of Apple TV apps could turn developers to obtain their games from the iPhone and iPad to the Apple TV. Moreover, 4K captures a lot of space but Apple TV isn't approving 4K at the moment. The modification can bring some motive that a prospective Apple TV will patronize 4k.

The 4K idea is not presently authorized, and Apple is doing things with a purpose according to a statement written by Federico Viticci in MacStories. Maybe Apple has really observed that people are not just stocking up the depot on their Apple TVs, which arrive in 32 and 64GB versions. For this, the overly-conservative limitation on app sizes is not essential.

From the clarifications to choose from, consumers could not visualize yet the impact of the change on Apple TV. It is until developers assume a start of the latest regulations which just became effective yesterday, January 12, 2017.
