Apple today released tvOS 27.2.1, an update to the tvOS 27 operating system released in September. tvOS 27.2.1 arrives almost three weeks after Apple released tvOS 27.2.
tvOS 27.2.1 brings Siri AI support to 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV 4K models, but it is available for all Apple TV 4K models that support tvOS 27.
Apple announced Siri AI for the Apple TV during the launch of the 4th generation Apple TV 4K. A separate tvOS 27.2 release enables Siri AI on the newer set-top box, but older Apple TV 4K models will need the tvOS 27.2.1 update to access it.
Siri AI is the smarter, more capable version of Siri that Apple introduced earlier this year. The AI Siri can read content, draw on personal context to offer suggestions, answer questions about knowledge of the world and complete tasks.
Using Siri AI on Apple TV requires a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled iOS device, which includes iPhone 15 Pro and later.
Apple TV users can download tvOS 27.2.1 by going to Settings > System > Software Update. Apple also released a new HomePod software update 27.2.1 for the HomePod and HomePod mini.
