Older Apple TV 4K devices to gain Siri AI through tvOS 27.2.1
Apple lists support for models from the 2nd generation onward, but has not given a release date for the software.
Apple’s planned tvOS 27.2.1 update will add Siri AI to Apple TV 4K models from the 2nd and 3rd generations, according to the company’s support documentation. The software remains unreleased, and Apple has not announced when it will become available.
The requirements extend beyond the television device itself. To use Siri AI, an Apple TV must be paired with a nearby device that supports the feature, such as an iPhone 15 Pro or later.
For the 4th-generation model, a special build of tvOS 27.2 appears to provide Siri AI already. Reviewers have tested the feature on that hardware. The device arrives with tvOS 27.0 installed, with a prompt during setup asking users to install tvOS 27.2.
Priced at US$299, the latest Apple TV includes an A19 chip. It also comes with a revised Siri Remote equipped with a speaker for Find My and support for Precision Finding.
