  "account": "Apple's upcoming tvOS 27 may soon bring sound effects to the screensaver feature on Apple TV 4K, according to a recent leak. The leak, which surfaced in Apple's code, also revealed a new Apple TV 4K rumored to be released in October. Leaker pdfu posted evidence of audio support for one of the screensavers, the Snoopy screensaver, in tvOS 27. Users of the Snoopy screensaver can now enable audio effects or use a 'Reduced' setting. The video above demonstrates the audio options for this screensaver. While the leak only confirmed audio support for the Snoopy screensaver, there is a possibility that Apple will expand this feature to other screensavers in the future. Users can choose to keep audio disabled entirely, ensuring no distractions. More Apple news can be found on 9to5Mac's YouTube channel.",
