Biggest Apple TV Update Yet? | What’s New in tvOS 26



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.

  1. I really love using Apple TV. I watch most of my content through it, including this video… but typing a comment on my iPhone. lol 😂

    The two things I want from the new Apple TV are 120 Hz refresh rate (or higher! lol), and a reliable WiFi chip. We’ve had two units’ WiFi chips (or cards, I haven’t done or watched a teardown lol) fail, in fairly rapid succession. Unfortunately it is not convenient for us to use a wired connection, but hopefully I can use a wired version in the future, if they don’t improve that WiFi issue.

    The new OS looks nice, too. Haha
