The Journal app in iOS 17.2iOS 17 holds a lot of secrets, but mostly from Apple. The app itself is barebones in the beta but some suggestions and app settings show it will have promising functionality at launch.

Your hosts discuss the Apple TV interface update in tvOS 17.2 and what it could mean for the future of the platform. Since apps and Channels have equal weight within the app now, it could be a sign of better service integrations later.
