For Czech users, tvOS 14.3 does not bring much. Even so, it is recommended to install the update, mainly because of minor bug fixes and other improvements.

How to update?

If you want to update your Mac or MacBook, go to System Preferences -> Software Update. To update watchOS, open the app Watch, where you go to the section General -> Software Update. As for Apple TV, open it here Settings -> System -> Software Update. If you have automatic updates set up, you don't have to worry about anything and the operating systems will be installed automatically when you are not using them - most often at night if they are connected to power.
