GoKawiiltvOS 27 was barely mentioned when Apple unveiled iOS 27, likely because its best features are waiting on new Apple TV 4K hardware. But there are a handful of tvOS 27 additions we do know about already—here’s what’s coming.
#1: Redesigned Apple Podcasts app
Following Apple Podcasts’ recent launch of new video features on iPhone and iPad, the app is getting fresh upgrades on Apple TV too via tvOS 27.
Per Apple’s press release:
Apple Podcasts in tvOS also features a complete redesign with video podcast playback, a new sidebar navigation for easier browsing, and support for podcast creators’ episode and show artwork. The update makes it simple to discover and enjoy video content on the big screen.
#2: AutoMix and Hi-Res Lossless Audio for Apple Music
tvOS 27 also adds new Apple Music features that were previously available on iPhone and iPad, but missing from Apple TV.
For the first time, AutoMix will be available in tvOS 27 for music transitions. If you’re hosting a party or just want to blast your favorite music on the home’s biggest speakers, you’ll now get to use AutoMix’s DJ-style transitions—which Apple further improved this year.
Hi-Res Lossless Audio is another new tvOS 27 feature. Per Apple:
Apple Music is also bringing Hi-Res Lossless Audio to tvOS, in addition to standard Lossless Audio. Subscribers with compatible external speaker outputs will be able to enjoy their favorite songs in the highest audio quality and experience studio-quality sound directly through their Apple TV 4K.
