Apple has unveiled the second developer beta of tvOS 26, introducing new features for the upcoming Apple TV 4K software update. Here’s what to anticipate.
New tvOS 26 beta now available for Apple TV 4K and HD
tvOS 26 is set to debut this fall as the next significant software enhancement for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.
The standout feature of this release is Apple’s ‘Liquid Glass’ redesign, which enhances app icons, video playback controls, menus, and more.
The Apple TV app is also undergoing various design upgrades, featuring a refreshed look inspired by film posters that places a stronger focus on the content.
The recent beta 2 update may offer additional design tweaks as Apple typically refines its designs during the software beta phases.
We will keep you informed about any modifications we uncover in this new update.
One important point for users of older Apple TV models: while tvOS 26 will be compatible with the same Apple TV devices as tvOS 18, only the newer models will feature the updated design.
