- Netflix is dropping support for the second- and third-generation Apple TV models released in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
- After July 31, those relying on either of the affected models won’t be able to watch Netflix content on the big screen anymore.
Apple TV is arguably the best streaming device for iPhone users, offering AirPlay support, an extensive library of well-optimized apps, and a relatively long lifespan. However, even the most durable products eventually expire, and Apple’s streaming box is no different. As of July 31, 2024, Netflix will no longer work on the second- and third-generation Apple TV models.
Through an official email sent to customers (via AppleInsider), Netflix has announced that it will be dropping support for the second- and third-generation Apple TV models on July 31. The company has also updated a relevant support page to highlight the upcoming change. Given Netflix’s popularity, the discontinuation could be a dealbreaker for many users relying on the affected Apple TV models. This could prompt them to upgrade their hardware to continue using the service.
