Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Public release

Apple released tvOS 15.6 on July 20, 2022. The consumer history names only general performance and stability improvements, so no discrete feature launch is attributed to this version.[1][2]

Documented security and source gap

Apple's advisory details repairs across storage, authorization, audio and media, iCloud Photo Library, the kernel, software-update transport, WebKit, and Wi-Fi. This archive leaves more specific consumer and undocumented changes unclaimed.[3][2]
