A support document describing requirements for ‌Siri‌ AI in Apple products states that tvOS 27.2.1 supports ‌Siri‌ AI on the ‌Apple TV‌ 4K (2nd generation and later), but the software has not yet been released.

While older ‌Apple TV‌ models will need tvOS 27.2.1 for ‌Siri‌ AI, Apple appears to have a special ‌Siri‌ AI version of tvOS 27.2 for the 4th generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K. Reviewers were able to test the ‌Siri‌ AI on the review units, and we can confirm that it works on our own review unit running tvOS 27.2.

The 4th generation ‌Apple TV‌ 4K comes with tvOS 27.0 and users are prompted to update it to tvOS 27.2 during the setup process.

Apple hasn’t said when tvOS 27.2.1 will be released with ‌Siri‌ AI for older ‌Apple TV‌ 4K models, but it could happen as early as Friday.

The latest ‌Apple TV‌ is priced at $299 and includes an A19 chip and an updated ‌Siri‌ remote that features a Find My speaker and precision search support. ‌Siri‌ AI on ‌Apple TV‌ requires a nearby paired ‌Siri‌ AI-enabled device, like an iPhone 15 Pro or later.
