Apple's latest tvOS 27.2 beta adds weight to rumors that the next Apple TV will have Siri AI and Apple Intelligence support.Code suggests Apple is adding an Improve Siri & Apple Intelligence toggle to the tvOS Settings app."Help improve foundation models and Siri by allowing Apple to collect and use your text and audio interactions with Siri, Dictation, and Translate," the text reads.
Other Apple devices with Apple Intelligence have similarly labeled privacy disclosures and data-sharing opt-ins.On devices that don't support Apple Intelligence, the setting is labeled "Improve Siri & Dictation." The new code is included alongside the existing code for Siri data sharing, so it's likely only Apple Intelligence-capable hardware will see it.tvOS 27.2 also has a new Siri Messages UI framework, indicating message content could be displayed on the Apple TV in the future.
Siri may be able to read messages sent to a linked iPhone and show smart reply options on the Apple TV.The current version of Siri on Apple TV doesn't support sending or reading messages, so the framework is likely linked to Siri AI.Apple is working on a version of the Apple TV with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and an A19 or A19 Pro chip, hardware that could support on-device Siri AI features.
Apple appears to be laying the groundwork for the new Apple TV with tvOS 27.2.We could get a new Apple TV as soon as October 13.
