Overview
- Subscribers received an email stating the Disney+ app will stop working on some older Apple hardware beginning December 1, 2025.
- The notice did not name specific models, leading outlets to cite the service’s current requirements of iOS 16.5, iPadOS 15.3, and tvOS 16 on Apple TV 4th generation or newer as the practical cutoff.
- Devices that cannot update to those software versions will lose direct access to the Disney+ app after the cutoff date.
- AirPlay and screen mirroring from a newer Apple device remain available as workarounds for unsupported Apple TVs.
- The change lands as Disney+ rolls out a heavy holiday slate, and user posts on Reddit reflect confusion while media seek further clarification from Disney.
