iOS has long been able to accommodate Ethernet connectivity, but up until recently, the OS has lacked any real UI related to such connections. In iOS 10.2, Apple has added configurable Ethernet-specific UI to the Settings app. When connecting a compatible Ethernet adapter via something like Apple’s Lightning to USB 3 Camera adapter, an Ethernet preference panel will automatically appear below the Wi-Fi section in the Settings app.

Apple appears to be retiring the built-in Videos app on iOS in favor of the new TV app coming next month. The behavior is introduced with today’s iOS 10.2 beta 3; iOS 10.2 beta 2 included both apps separately. Apple could still change this behavior in a future version of iOS 10.2, although there isn’t much need for both apps for most users.

Single Sign-On for paid-TV apps was one of the major features for the big software update for the new Apple TV, then tvOS 10 was released without delay back in September except Single Sign-On was nowhere to be found. Apple’s website changed to say that Single Sign-On was coming soon without any specific date being promised.

Great news for Apple TV users who hate signing in to dozens of different paid-TV apps with the same cable credentials: SSO is now available as Apple has quietly activated the service for users of iOS 10.2 and tvOS 10.1. In its present form, SSO supports Dish, GVTC Communications, Hotwire, and Sling TV.
