The new Apple TV 4K shipped today with Siri AI, and older models are getting it too, 9to5Mac reports. Apple’s updated support document says you need tvOS 27.2.1 on an Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later) plus a Siri AI-enabled paired device nearby, like a recent iPhone. Apple hasn’t said when tvOS 27.2.1 ships; 9to5Mac guesses today or early next week.
Meanwhile, some new Apple TV 4K owners found the YouTube app isn’t working, MacRumors reports. The fix: make sure tvOS 27.2 is installed (Settings, System, Software Updates). If it already is, restart the Apple TV (Settings, System, Restart). If that doesn’t do it, delete and reinstall YouTube.
My take
Nice that older boxes get Siri AI. But a launch-day streamer that can’t play YouTube out of the box isn’t quite cooked. Easy fix at least.
God Bless, and Needs Garlic!
