Apple's tvOS 26 announced at WWDC requires second-generation Apple TV 4K devices and later, which means the company is excluding older

Apple on Monday announced tvOS 26, its next-generation operating system for Apple TV, though only newer models of the company's set-top box will get its features.

After all, the experience has stayed consistent between the updates. Over time, of course, Apple started offering a few exclusive features on the most recent models, such as Apple Music Sing functionality.
