Apple’s latest tvOS 27 update is here, but not everyone is invited to the party. The update, which was quietly launched in beta during the recent WWDC, won’t be available for the Apple TV HD and the first-gen Apple TV 4K. That’s a bummer for anyone rocking these older models.
The reason this matters? Well, if you were hoping to keep your Apple TV up to date with the latest features, you might be out of luck unless you’re planning to upgrade. Rumor has it that new Apple TV 4K hardware could be hitting the shelves this fall, potentially with some snazzy new AI features. For those who love their Apple TV, it might be time to start thinking about that upgrade.

The keynote’s format might have kept this update under the radar, but Aaron Perris spilled the beans on social media. According to him, the Apple TV HD listing on Apple’s developer portal is a mistake, so don’t hold your breath for a fix.

Keep an eye out for that new hardware this fall and consider what features you might want in your next Apple TV!
