Overview
- Disney+ informed members that support ends December 1, 2025 for unspecified legacy Apple hardware, prompting questions about which models are affected.
- An official device list has not been published, but Disney+'s Help Center cites minimums of iOS 16.5 for iPhone, iPadOS 15.3 for iPad, and tvOS 16 on 4th‑generation or newer Apple TV.
- Devices that cannot update to those versions will lose direct app functionality after the cutoff date.
- Users with older Apple TVs can still watch by using AirPlay or screen mirroring from a compatible device as a temporary workaround.
- Subscriber posts on Reddit highlight confusion and frustration over the vague notice, while coverage notes the move follows an industry pattern to phase out legacy hardware ahead of holiday programming pushes.
