Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the tvOS 14.2 developer beta can be downloaded onto the ‌‌‌‌‌‌Apple TV‌‌‌‌‌‌ via a profile that’s installed using Xcode.

tvOS updates other than new releases are typically minor in scale, focusing on under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements rather than major outward-facing changes. There’s no word yet on what’s included in tvOS 14.2 update, but we’ll update this article should anything new be found.

Nah it’s sitting in a warehouse over here, ready to ship since last May according to a mixed-record leaker.

Im ready though. My second gen 🤣 is basically obsolete. The current box is fine but I’ll wait to see what features the new model(s) add.
