Summary
tvOS 27 will let Apple TV 4K play Hi-Res Lossless audio at up to 192 kHz/24-bit, extending Apple Music playback beyond the current 48 kHz ceiling.
Apple said the upgrade initially applies to Apple Music, while support for other streaming apps via API remains unclear.
24-bit/48 kHz lossless already arrived with tvOS 26; the new tier targets "studio-quality" playback but depends on compatible source files and connected audio hardware.
tvOS 27 also adds AI-powered AutoMix on Apple TV and refreshes the Podcasts app with a new design, stronger video podcast focus and improved search.
Fall is the planned release window for tvOS 27, with a developer beta already available and a public beta expected next month.
