iOS 6 Beta for Apple TV Allows Users to Customize and Reorder App Icons

The latest Beta of iOS 6 for the Apple TV allows customization and reordering of the layout of application icons, just like an iPhone or iPad.

AppleInsider reports that the user simply holds down the select button on the Apple remote while an icon is selected. The selected icon will begin to wiggle, and can then be dragged to a different location on the screen.

Currently, public builds of the Apple TV OS put the device to sleep if you hold the select button down. Icons are static and cannot be moved.

The feature was demonstrated in a video by MacMagazine.com.br. (Video shown above.)

The second Beta of the next software update was issued to developers on Monday, along with the iOS 6 Beta 2 for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The software is scheduled to be released to the public this fall.
