tvOS 27.2 Code Hints at Apple Intelligence for New Apple TV

The latest beta version of tvOS 27.2 indicates that Apple may be adding Siri AI and Apple Intelligence support to the next Apple TV. The code suggests a new toggle in the tvOS Settings app for "Improve & Siri & Apple Intelligence," which allows Apple to collect and use text and audio interactions with Siri, Dictation, and Translate.

This privacy disclosure mirrors those on other Apple devices with Apple Intelligence, requiring users to opt-in to data sharing. The new code is present alongside existing Siri data sharing settings, indicating it may only appear on Apple Intelligence-capable hardware. Additionally, tvOS 27.2 introduces a Siri Messages UI framework, hinting at the potential display of message content on the Apple TV in the future.

Siri on Apple TV currently lacks the capability to send or read messages, so the framework is likely tied to Siri AI. Apple is reportedly developing a new Apple TV model with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and an A19 or A19 Pro chip, hardware that could facilitate on-device Siri AI features. The next Apple TV could be released as early as October 13.
