Apple will give your older Apple TV a new lease on life with Siri AI

Siri AI on the new 4th Gen Apple TV 4K
  • Free software update arriving later this year
  • Update will be available in select countries and territories

But if you were really hoping to use Siri AI on Apple’s streaming box, maybe to pull up recommendations friends might have suggested or to figure out whether a character is based on a real person, and you don’t want to spend the extra cash on an upgrade, I've got good news.

The new Siri Remote with Precision Finding support and the new Apple TV 4K (4th Generation).

That’s excellent news, because the new Siri AI isn’t just better at basic tasks; it also brings broader knowledge and personal context. So whether it’s pulling up an album your best friend recommended weeks ago that you can’t quite remember, or trying to recount a specific episode you and a family member were up to, the assistant can tap into that info to answer the query.
