Apple has released tvOS 26.2.1 and updated an article on its support site listing the requirements for Siri AI on the set-top box.
According to Apple, Siri AI will be available via tvOS 27.2.1 on Apple TV 4K from the second generation onwards. It also requires a paired Siri AI-enabled device nearby.
While Apple rolled out 27.2.1 updates for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and others earlier in the week, tvOS was noticeably absent. However, given what we’ve learned about the arrival of Siri AI support, it makes sense that Apple has delayed the launch.
And tvOS 27.2.1 arrived late Friday, adding the feature.
Apple’s new Apple TV 4K will also arrive at customers’ homes on Friday. AppleInsider reviewed it, noting that it’s a sizable upgrade that comes at a sizable cost.
Updated November 13, 2026, 2:40pm ET: tvOS 27.2.1 is out, adding the feature.
