tvOS 26 Liquid Glass Redesign Limits Compatibility to Newer Apple TV Models

Apple's tvOS 26 introduces a major visual redesign called Liquid Glass, which requires second-generation Apple TV 4K or newer, excluding older models. The new interface features dynamic, reflective materials that enhance content display and system controls. The update also includes improvements to FaceTime, profile switching, and Apple Music Sing, with a public release expected this fall. The redesign is part of a broader 'Liquid Glass' software overhaul announced across all Apple platforms at WWDC 2025.
