tvOS 27 Drops Support for Two Apple TV Models
Following three months of beta testing, Apple today released tvOS 27, but note that the software update drops support for two Apple TV models.
The two Apple TV models that are compatible with tvOS 26 but not tvOS 27 are the Apple TV HD from 2015 and the Apple TV 4K (1st generation) from 2017.
tvOS 27 is compatible with the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and newer.
tvOS 27 features a redesigned Podcasts app, options for larger text and customizable subtitles, and a more responsive Control Center. AirPlay to an Apple TV from another Apple device is faster, apps open quicker, and animations are smoother.
