I am looking to buy an older A1427 model of Apple TV because I really only need it for AirPlay from the iPhone and 1080p is more than enough. I have heard that people have issues with older devices like that. But I also read that this issue only happens on streaming apps, and I only need it for showing the screen, pictures/videos from the gallery and some videos from Safari. Will it still work on IOS 16-18? Or do I have to opt for the newer version? Thanks.

  • It would be helpful to provide examples of these issues. But is this relevant to the question, which appear to be related to iOS / TvOS versions? Either way could you clarify your question a little bit? Commented Oct 7 at 17:42
  • @AndyGriffiths I read that apps like Netflix ask you to update the apple tv firmware to a newer version (which is no longer available on old devices) to start AirPlay. As for the other people - they just vaguely say "can't connect". Not sure what that means, that's why I'm asking the question. I am hoping that there is some sheet like "this apple tv works with iOS up to 15.3" or "all IOS versions are backwards compatible with any AirPlay device" Commented Oct 8 at 12:51
