Any idea on Apple TV Edition Better Together Update will come out?

It's kind of upsetting that you can buy this game, yet for months it's had broken functionality. Can't connect with others on the same network, and can't connect to Realms (which we pay for, but why bother if Microsoft won't update for the Apple TV?). I
bought a controller especially to play with Minecraft on the Apple TV, and it doesn't work.

PLEASE UPDATE the Apple TV edition, Microsoft!

In a recent blog post about the better together update, they announced that they are aiming to get the better together update to the switch console by winter. No mention about the apple tv edition. The apple tv does run on the bedrock
engine, in which the better together "version" or update also runs on, so it should get it at some point. Right now there is no official date that I have been able to locate.

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for keeping us updated with your replies. If the version of Minecraft you're using on disc is the Minecraft: Xbox One edition, then to update to the new Minecraft (Better Together), you'll need to purchase the game as it is a wholly different version.
The free update from Minecraft: Xbox One edition to the new Minecraft edition (Better Together) ended on January 30th 2018.

The cross platform isn't available with the Minecraft Xbox 360 edition, unfortunately. But it's available with the Xbo one edition and now the Switch Edition (and of course Windows 10, Android and Apple).

We have the same issues with the Apple products. They don't seem to be updating the Apple TV or the Mac, and it's dissapointing because we paid the same price for the game that everyone on the PC did, and the Apple TV Minecraft edition wasn't cheap. The
iOS Minecraft seems to be updated with the 'Bedrock' update, while they are holding back on the Apple TV update to even make them playable with Realms.

We used to be able to access on Apple TV, but now just have a message where Realms used to be saying "You need to update your game to continue playing Realms.", and yes it is updated, and it's been saying this for months. I need to update? It's Microsoft with
needs to update the game to be playable NOT ME. And trying to play with friends on the same network now it tries to connect and then disconnects. It's really too bad.

If I was conspiratorial, I might think they are purposefully not updating the Apple TV or Mac versions of Minecraft for some reason. Hmmm.
