Hi Team,
We have a first gen apple tv at home. I was just wondering if it is okay to update the iOS or no? since we're afraid that maybe after the update we won't be able to use it anymore like the old iphones after update.
Please let us know what to do. Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Cherrie
You might not have a problem. The first generation Apple TV was discontinued about ten years ago and the last update it had was called Apple TV Software 3.0.2
Check which system it has in its settings.
I have a 2nd generation and I continued to update it without any problem until Apple ceased to issue updates for it, so I wouldn't be afraid to apply any update offered for your 1st generation model.

I would be surprised if your model was 1st generation (silver-white, 7.7" wide) and functional. If your Apple TV box is black and 3.9" wide, then it is 2nd generation or later. Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support
Different models may have different system software versions. Some models will not be updatable any further. Please look up its current software version for reference.
