After three months of testing, Apple is now releasing tvOS 15 and HomePod 15 to the public. This means that anyone with an Apple TV HD (or later) and a HomePod or HomePod mini can download this update.

tvOS 15 and HomePod 15 don’t get as big of an update as iOS 15. In fact, Apple barely mentioned it during the WWDC21 major in June.

Both operating systems have the same version of last week’s Release Candidate: 19J6346. Here are all the new features coming to tvOS 15 and HomePod 15:
