Apple TV didn’t get new hardware at WWDC 2025, but tvOS 26 brings some notable upgrades. The biggest visual change is the new Liquid Glass interface which offers a sleek, transparent design that keeps the focus on your content. Other updates include improved user profiles, streamlined app logins via your Apple ID, and a new Apple Music sing-along feature using your iPhone as a mic. Live translation and captions come to FaceTime, too, with enhanced on-device privacy. It’s all about deeper ecosystem integration and smoother usability—exactly what Apple fans have come to expect. tvOS 26 arrives this fall, with betas rolling out soon.

Wow…other than the new Liquid Glass UI, very underwhelming update for tvOS
Appreciate your effort!
I never even heard of tvOS until now thanks for the update!
Can’t get my Apple TV to work with eero 6. Anyone else had this issue or have any ideas? It worked fine with my last ISP.
The Apple TV is well-worth it. I have owned one for 6 years. All your streaming apps in one place. And if you're skeptical about owning a film – you can just rent it on Apple TV or Amazon Prime Video for $3-4 in good quality. Can not beat that at al
Don't care about TVOS 26 I want the new rumored $99 Apple tv 4k to be released already.
Season Numbering shortcuts seems to be a bit wonky with 26.
Not worth the upgrade
Is it finally time for Apple to release a new Apple TV box? What should they change?
