tvOS 27 drops custom URL podcast feeds on Apple TV 4K while adding video podcasts

tvOS 27 adds HLS-based video podcast support to the Podcasts app on Apple TV 4K but removes support for shows added via custom URL feeds (such as membership-only podcasts). Custom feeds remain available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch with their respective OS updates. The change affects only the Apple TV 4K lineup; original Apple TV 4K cannot update beyond tvOS 26.

Apple TV 4K to get Siri AI and a new Siri Remote in 2026 update

Apple is preparing a major Apple TV 4K update for fall 2026, centered on Siri AI integrated with tvOS 27 and a redesigned Siri Remote.

Other rumored upgrades include a faster chip (potentially A17 Pro), the N1 networking chip (Bluetooth 6, Thread, Wi‑Fi 7), more storage, and native AV1 support, with additional home ecosystem features like an expanded HomePod mini and Home Hub concepts. The exact implementation and compatibility with current Apple TV 4K models remain uncertain.
