“Apple today released tvOS 11.1, the first major update for the tvOS 11 operating system designed for fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models,” Juli Clover reports for MacRumors.
“tvOS 11.1 can be downloaded over the air through the Settings app on the Apple TV by going to System –> Software Update,” Clover reports. “Apple TV owners who have automatic software updates turned on will be upgraded to tvOS 11.1 automatically.”
