Apple Releases tvOS 27.2.1, Bringing Siri AI To Older Apple TV 4K Models

Following today’s release of the new fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, Apple has released a new tvOS 27.2.1 software update that brings one of its main features to older generations of the streaming box.

Currently, the new Apple TV 4K is the only model to support Siri AI, but with the tvOS 27.2.1 update, the same feature is also now available all Apple TV 4K models supporting tvOS27.

The only Apple TV 4K that will miss out is the very first one. Second-gen Apple TV 4K models and newer will receive the Siri AI functionality.

It’s worth noting that these older Apple TV 4K models require a device that supports Siri AI to be nearby, such as an iPhone or iPad. It’s unclear why the original Apple TV 4K is not included.

Let us know if you’ve already updated to the latest firmware and if you have, how the new Siri updates are faring for you.

The new Apple TV 4K is on sale today. It costs $299.99.
